Verifiable Computation on a Global Scale
We're building a global distributed prover network to unite the world's computers and power a new and better Internet: the Verifiable Internet. Connect to the beta and give it a try today.

Quick Start

curl https://cli.nexus.xyz/ | sh

If you don't have Rust installed, you will be prompted to install it.

Prerequisites

Linux

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev git-all

macOS

brew install git

Windows

Install WSL first, then follow Linux instructions.

Terms of Use

Use of the CLI is subject to the Terms of Use. First-time users will be prompted to accept the terms. For non-interactive acceptance (e.g., CI environments), use:

NONINTERACTIVE=1 sh

Prover Id

The CLI will prompt for your web prover id from beta.nexus.xyz on startup. It is ok to skip this prompt and a random id will be generated, but you'll be prompted again on startup until your web prover id is entered.

The prover id prompt is disabled when NONINTERACTIVE=1 is set. In a server environment, you can manually overwrite $HOME/.nexus/prover-id with your full prover id.

Current Limitations

Only latest CLI version is supported
No prebuilt binaries yet
Proof cycle counting coming soon
Program submission requires API key (contact growth@nexus.xyz)
