The partnership aims to expand compute services on Nexus Network via io.net’s decentralized GPU network, as the project works on developing the world’s first decentralized supercomputer.
Decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) io.net announced its newest partner, Nexus Network, a project aiming to provide supercomputer resources to everyone, this week. The strategic collaboration will see Nexus leverage io.net’s GPU clusters to expand its network’s compute power as it builds its ‘Verifiable Internet’.
Additionally, the partnership will strengthen the Nexus zero-knowledge Virtual Machine (zkVM) by integrating io.net’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, furthering Nexus’s mission to make zero-knowledge proof services accessible to all.
Nexus Network is a community of developers that are designing the Verifiable Internet, where trustless computation and verification are integral to digital interactions. The mission of the project is to build a global, distributed supercomputer that is accessible to everyone. It leverages zkVM technology which enables developers to create scalable and secure applications, redefining how users interact with blockchain ecosystems.
io.net, or the Internet of GPUs, is a DePIN that deploys and manages on-demand, decentralized GPU clusters from globally distributed sources. The protocol includes millions of GPUs that are connected to the IO Network, allowing users to tap into the compute power for various high-0compute needs such as AI, machine learning, cloud gaming etc. io.net democratizes access to GPU compute capacity while reducing costs, expediting lead times, and expanding choice for engineers and businesses.
Expanding Compute Power on Nexus Network
As stated, the partnership will leverage io.net’s robust decentralized GPU infrastructure to expand the compute power available for proof generation within the Nexus zkVM. Via the geo-distributed GPUs, Nexus will benefit from an extended network of validators, bridges, relayers, and oracles across web3 ecosystems.
The added compute power from io.net will enable Nexus Network to enhance zk-proof technologies and make these services accessible to everyone. From accessibility to developers across the world to enterprises and businesses, users on Nexus will enjoy faster and more efficient zero-knowledge-proof generation. This is expected to facilitate blockchain development of scalable, privacy-focused and low-latency decentralized applications (DApps).
Speaking on the partnership, Alex Fowler, Chief Strategy Officer at Nexus, stated:
“Our partnership with io.net marks a pivotal step forward in advancing the capabilities of Nexus network, By combining our zero-knowledge proof technology with io.net’s decentralized compute infrastructure, we’re creating a more scalable and accessible proving solution that will benefit developers and users globally.”
A New Interconnected, Privacy Focused Supercomputer
The partnership aims to help both io.net and Nexus flourish as well as expand the capabilities of their users. Together, the two companies aim to improve the scalability, reliability, and accessibility of zero-knowledge proving technology. In addition, the two companies will share expertise on how to strengthen the computational capabilities of the Nexus network by optimizing access to GPU clusters, supporting its goal of creating the world’s most powerful computer.
To boost privacy, in addition to the computing power on Nexus, Tausif Ahmed, Chief Business Development Officer at io.net, echoed the statements of Fowler saying:
“Collaborating with Nexus reinforces io.net’s commitment to powering innovative web3 technologies. Together, we’re enabling a decentralized and privacy-first future, where zero-knowledge proofs can thrive at scale.”
The collaboration is also expected to scale the decentralized network of GPUs on the IO Network, as new users join from Nexus. It will also scale the computational resources dedicated to proof generation within the Nexus zkVM, enhancing performance and reducing lead times for developers and enterprises. Moreover, io.net’s geo-distributed GPU clusters will provide a decentralized, high-performance compute layer, boosting the overall resilience and scalability of the Nexus network.
The biggest winner, however, is the wider Web 3 ecosystem. Through such partnerships, the Web 3 industry builds a foundation for a more interconnected, verifiable, and scalable ecosystem. It bridges the gap between innovative infrastructure and practical utility for web3 developers and enterprises.
