Nexus said the testnet results show that there’s “early excitement” for a shared supercomputer.
Compute firm Nexus’ in-development decentralized supercomputer attracted over 1.5 million nodes from 187 countries during a recent five-day testnet period.
Nexus has been working on building a supercomputer designed to aggregate computing power from computers and mobile devices all over the world to achieve a “Verifiable internet,” raising $25 million in Series A funding in June this year.
It’s among a growing group of protocols and companies looking to tap into distributed computing power from around the globe to achieve a common goal.
