In Plain English

Imagine you have a powerful computer and want to help build AI. Instead of giving your computing power to a big corporation for free, you join Nexus AI.

Here's what happens:

1

You run our agent

Download and run a small program on your computer. It automatically detects if you have a GPU (like NVIDIA) or just a CPU, and tells our network what you can do.

2

Tasks come to you

Our coordinator sees your computer is available and sends you an AI task—like answering questions (inference) or training a model (fine-tuning). You don't have to find work; it comes to you.

3

You do the work

Your computer runs the AI task. For inference, this might take seconds. For training, it could take hours. The harder your hardware works, the more you earn.

4

You get paid

Once the task is complete, $NEXUS tokens automatically flow to your wallet. No invoicing, no waiting for payroll. Real-time streaming rewards.

Under the Hood

For the more technical among you, here's how it actually works:

1. The Coordinator

The coordinator is a central API that:

  • Maintains a registry of all available agents
  • Routes tasks to the best available agent
  • Tracks completion and distributes rewards
POST /task { "type": "inference", "model": "qwen2.5-2b" }

2. The Agents

Agents auto-detect hardware and register with capabilities:

# Agent automatically detects GPU gpu_info = detect_gpu() # {"name": "RTX 3080", "memory": 10GB} register_agent(gpu_info=gpu_info)

3. The Blockchain

We use Base (Ethereum L2) for:

  • Token ($NEXUS) - ERC-20 standard
  • Staking - Lock tokens, earn rewards
  • Governance - On-chain voting

4. Superfluid Integration

Rewards stream continuously instead of in batches:

# Stream 0.001 NEXUS per second while working createFlow(recipient, flowRate=2777777777777) # wei/sec

Why This Matters

Traditional AI companies take your compute for free or pay poorly. Nexus AI gives you ownership. The more you contribute, the more $NEXUS you earn—and $NEXUS gives you voting power over the future of AGI.

What Can You Do With Your Computer?

🤖

Inference

Run pre-trained models to answer questions, generate text, or process data. Think of it as hiring out your computer's thinking ability.

🧠

Training

Train LoRA adapters—small model upgrades that specialize AI for specific tasks. Your compute makes AI smarter.

📊

Data Processing

Process and clean datasets, run computations, or help validate other agents' work.

The Incentive Structure

We designed tokenomics to reward contributors fairly: 💰 Compute Rewards - paid per task, GPU 10-50x more than CPU. 📈 Staking APY - 10% on staked tokens. 🗳️ Governance - 1 NEXUS = 1 vote. 🚀 Network Growth - early contributors benefit most.
