This June was special, marking the 4-year anniversary of the Nexa blockchain on 21 June 2026. With the recent first halving event and the conclusion of a 4-year journey, it is now clear that Nexa is entering a second phase. Commemorating the event, Nexa hosted Spaces on X with the founder and lead developer, Andrew Stone. While the team is working on publishing the Spaces on the Nexa forum and other social media platforms, you can now listen to the recording on X, linked in the monthly newsletter below.
Important protocol improvements planned for the roadmap, such as Tailstorm and the integration of quantum-secure cryptography, are under development and undergoing extensive testing.
