Golden Sponsorship
Nexa is proud to be a Golden Sponsor of the Blockchain Futurist Conference 2025. Through this sponsorship, Nexa reaffirms its commitment to advancing blockchain technologies and its dedication to fostering collaborative dialogue among developers, investors, and thought leaders. We look forward to engaging with fellow participants at the Nexa booth to exchange insights, explore emerging applications and forge meaningful connections that drive growth, and raise awareness of Nexa as a programmable electronic peer-to-peer cash protocol.
Nexa at the Conference
Nexa is a proof-of-work blockchain protocol launched via a fair-launch mechanism, adhering to the original vision outlined in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper. The protocol is designed for high throughput, currently sustaining several thousand transactions per second and even more with hardware scaling. Nexa’s programmability and native tokens make it ideal for decentralized applications and tokenization, merging the best of both worlds.
During the Blockchain Futurist Conference, Nexa team members will present our most recent protocol enhancements, engage in technical dialogue with participants and cryptocurrency investors, and explore emerging paradigms in digital payment systems. We invite all participants, whether blockchain architects, cryptocurrency investors, or technology enthusiasts—to visit the Nexa booth to learn about our network’s performance, roadmap for scaling and ecosystem development initiatives.
Looking Forward to Toronto
Nexa’s delegation will showcase our most recent protocol enhancements and facilitate in-depth technical discussions with developers and the cryptocurrency community about the future of digital payment infrastructures. Attendees are invited to visit the Nexa booth to examine our blockchain architecture and discuss roadmap milestones, decentralized applications, and ecosystem partnership opportunities with our team. We look forward to meeting you at the Nexa booth and wish everyone a great time in Toronto.
