📒 Build on Nexa: AI-Assisted Development with David Thibodeau Today the Nexa team wants to introduce you to a couple of tools we have created for our community to assist you with building applications on Nexa. We know that some of you may be experienced developers, while others may be brand new to building apps. One of our tools is specifically designed to empower some of our less technical users and make this process easier for all of you, through the use of Nexa AI-Assisted Development tools and AI skills. In this short guide David Thibodeau (@DPTib) will walk you through a quick setup process and explain the basics of AI skills and how to use them. After this guide you will be ready to build a fully functional Nexa application just from a single prompt. Let's get started. 👇

📒 Beat Peter’s FPGA: The BRAM-ring Bounty On 6 October 2026, Peter Rizun (@PeterRizun) announced a bounty on X with a 0.2 BTC prize pool (around $16,000) for anyone who can beat the FPGA’s efficiency. The main prize is 0.1 BTC, with smaller prizes for smaller achievements, and the bounty is open until 4 November 2026, 23:59 Pacific Time. Peter designed a BRAM-ring proof-of-work function on a cheap Efinix Tz170 FPGA and ran it at 37,100 H/s. So far, the best GPU result is 1,493 H/s on a $499 RTX 3070. Measured in hash rate per dollar of hardware, the FPGA is more than 100x more efficient. The claim is that no GPU, CPU, NPU or other off-the-shelf hardware can close the gap, and the bounty is for anyone who proves otherwise. Read more and find all the details on the Nexa Forum below. 👇

Hester Peirce warns existing KYC/AML frameworks create huge databases of sensitive user data, making them prime targets for hacks, phishing and even physical attacks. She is pushing zero-knowledge proofs as an alternative, allowing users to prove compliance without exposing their personal data.

It is easy to pump for a day but look who's in the #topgainers on @coingecko in the last month 😎 $NEXA is a hidden gem 💎

Probably nothing 🧐 nexacoin:native

There are people, Jobs, Musk, etc, who tend to see through the fog and make good decisions. In the early days, I thought sociologists should study early adopters as a group to puzzle out this capability. But interacting with maximalists (really they should be called minimalist) has made it absolutely clear that luck and indoctrination into alt-cultures explains these people's involvement, since they have not made a single sensible decision since. The key "digital gold" argument (crypto is a better gold), requires innovation or the same argument is applicable to move away from BTC to an innovative altcoin. One thing you missed was that, unbelievably to me, the pernicious maxi culture carried over into BCH! All the same rejections of new features, dismissal of alts, etc was there. The lack of rational analysis -- "Core except big blocks" philosophy dominated during the ABC years, resulting in almost no technical progress, a culture of exclusion, and the coalition that Roger, Jihan, and I built started splintering just months after Bitcoin Unlimited was no longer the primary client. While BTC can continue relying on its first mover advantage, BCH needed to innovate quickly to counter it. This persistent irrationality was why I founded Nexa.

📒 Nexa August Highlights: NexaPoW 2.0 Introduced This August is exciting and brings us a lot of positive news. The president of Bitcoin Unlimited (@BitcoinUnlimit), Andrew Clifford, has explained the new 2.0 version of the NexaPoW algorithm, a fundamental improvement to the Nexa blockchain. The new algorithm is an indirectly useful proof-of-work which is changing how we look at proof-of-work itself. For many years, old-fashioned PoW was considered just e-waste, which is not useful, but now it will directly correlate with the network's capabilities. ​ Nexa Chief Scientist Dr Peter Rizun (@PeterRizun) and Lead Developer Andrew Stone (@GAndrewStone) are working on NexaPoW from two different angles. Peter is implementing the new solution in the hardware, which will use an FPGA for mining and signature verification, removing the major bottleneck in full node operations. ​ Andrew is leading the efforts from the software side. In addition to hardware acceleration, the team is integrating the Tailstorm protocol into the main Nexa blockchain layer. Nexa is moving towards a directed acyclic graph (DAG) hybrid model combined with a traditional blockchain. ​ A hybrid model means that the Nexa blockchain will benefit from both model’s strengths. Preserving the traditional blockchain model and introducing what we will call summary-blocks, and combining them with sub-blocks that are created every few seconds, will make blocks faster to mine, ensure a fairer distribution of block rewards, and enable faster transaction verification. ​ To better understand all of this, B.U. president Andrew Clifford explained Nexa’s approach and the NexaPoW architecture. He discussed the history of how and when proof-of-work was invented, and how Nexa is moving towards indirectly useful PoW and aligning mining with signature verification algorithms so that all network users would benefit from improved mining. ​ Read more and watch the full video with Andrew Clifford in the Nexa forum below. 👇

Clock is ticking, Blitz by @NexaMoney is coming 💪

The NexaPoW 2.0 algorithm makes proof-of-work useful in an indirect way. It requires miners to perform Schnorr signature verification, and the same hardware can be reused by full nodes to accelerate blockchain throughput.
