Revolutionizing Blockchain: An Introduction to Nexa by Andrew Stone
Andrew Stone presents at Web3 Amsterdam on 14 March 2025. He explains how applied blockchain technology is a new form of language, arguably, the first expression of a new form of language where there is real power behind statements.
In this case, a user of a blockchain who decides to create a transaction is given force to effect a transfer of ownership of some property and also any conditions attached to the transfer. All other languages are embodying concepts, abstractions of ideas, objects etc. This important perspective reveals how revolutionary blockchain technology really is. Andrew continues by showing how Nexa harnesses this new language through NexScript and its native miner-validated tokens, which can represent many different objects.

Rethinking Smart Contracts: NexScript vs. EVM by Jørgen Notland
Jørgen Notland presents at Web3 Amsterdam on 14 March 2025. Jørgen talks about how UTXO-based networks differ from EVM-based ones, and the distinctions between NexScript and Solidity.
Reviewing the fundamental structures and foundations of these architectures gives us a clear view of how Nexa differs from most common programmable EVM networks while still offering the same programmable capabilities. Additionally, Nexa has native tokens integrated into the protocol and validated by miners, eliminating the need for an exploitable smart contract layer for tokens. Nexa eliminates blind signing and addresses the issue of maximum extractable value (MEV), tackling some of the most common pain points in the industry.

A Deeper Look at How Nexa Can Impact Real-World Assets and Tokenization
Everyone has already heard about real-world assets and tokenization, but not everyone knows what it truly means or how it can affect the future. Digitalization has been happening for decades, and now we are entering the era of tokenization. There is huge potential in this niche, as it remains largely untapped. We can tokenize everything, but a decentralized, scalable, fast, and affordable blockchain is required to make it a reality. This is where Nexa steps in and we can take a look at how Nexa can affect real-world assets and tokenization.
