Whitepaper V1.0 Release
The Nexa Whitepaper v1.0 was published this month. It explains how Nexa plans to improve blockchain technology.
Nexa is a fairly launched, sound-money, highly parallel, and scalable UTXO-family, permissionless proof-of-work blockchain dedicated to advancing Satoshi’s technology in a significant way. From its genesis, Nexa focuses on Layer 1 functionality, offering miner-validated native tokens and introducing new features in blocks, transactions, and contract definitions.
The blockchain emphasizes scalability, achieving real-world tests of 40,000 transactions per second, with a responsive 2-minute block time and double-spend detection. Nexa is a continuously evolving project, with active development in hardware-accelerated verification, blockchain architecture, contract capabilities, multi-party transaction protocols, and light client optimization.
Our whitepaper shows Nexa focus on making blockchain more useful and reliable.
