1/ We @panteracapital excitedly co-led the Series A investment in @NexusLabsHQ, a breakthrough in ZK cryptography, earlier this year.
Let’s learn about how Nexus is revolutionizing verifiable computation. 🔍🧵

2/ In today's world, verifying truth is tough. AI, deep fakes, VPNs, hacking, and phishing attacks obscure computation results. 🤖🎭🔒
Nexus 0.0 changes this by providing both a solution and a zero-knowledge proof, ensuring output validity without revealing underlying info.
3/ Nexus builds on decades of ZK research, enabling secure computation for sensitive data (e.g., medical records, military secrets). 🏥🛡️
4/ Nexus 1.0 is a game-changer.
It can prove any Rust code, with a tech stack optimized for scalability. From 1Hz in 2023 to ~100Hz in 2024.
A 100x improvement! 🔥
5/ Furthermore, the modular design of Nexus 1.0 allows individual optimization of components.
This is perfect for blockchain applications.
6/ Nexus integrates seamlessly with existing blockchain standards, supporting precompiles for common schemes like Keccak-256. 🔄🔗
7/ Nexus is led by a team of star-studded computer science minds:
CEO @danielmarinq
Chief Scientist @JensGroth16
Chief Strategy Officer @alexanderfowler
VP of Cryptography @donbeaver.
Decades of experience working on challenging cryptography problems. 🧠💪
END/ Alongside fantastic investors @lightspeedvp, @factionvc, @dragonfly_xyz, @theBBFund, @allianceDAO, @svangel, we are excited to be investors in Nexus—and to see them usher in the next era of verifiable computation.
