HTX Ventures announces investment in Nexio to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem

Recently, HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of Huobi HTX, announced a strategic investment in Nexio, an innovative MoveVM Bitcoin scaling solution that leverages parallelized ZK rollup technology.

Powered by MoveVM, Nexios parallelized Bitcoin rollup supports over 30,000 transactions per second while keeping gas fees below $0.01, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. This technology solves key issues in the Bitcoin ecosystem, including slow transaction speeds, high gas fees, and insufficient tooling, which have been hindering mass adoption.

Nexio recently completed a $2 million pre-seed financing led by Lattлед Fund, with participation from HTX Ventures, aiming to revolutionize Bitcoins scalability and usability. The funding will enable Nexio to accelerate the разработка and adoption of its parallelized Bitcoin rollup technology. Led by co-founders with extensive experience in Bitcoin zkVM rollup development, Nexio is setting new standards for blockchain technology.

Nexios technology combines zk-Rollup, multi-party computation (MPC) threshold signature scheme and Fractal interpreter to set new benchmarks in speed, security and interoperability. By leveraging MPC threshold signature, Nexio prevents single point of failure and provides more secure decentralized transaction verification than traditional multi-signature methods.

“Bitcoin’s scaling solutions are designed to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality and bridge the gap between different blockchain ecosystems. Nexio seamlessly integrates applications and liquidity from Move, Cosmos, and any EVM-compatible ecosystem into Bitcoin,” said Alex Ehrlich, managing partner at HTX Ventures. “Nexio also offers extremely competitive low gas fees while providing high TPS infrastructure. HTX Ventures is very excited to support Nexio in ushering in a new era of innovation and adoption in the Bitcoin ecosystem, allowing sophisticated DeFi applications, gaming platforms, NFT рынокs, and infrastructure projects to grow on top.”

Nexios vision is to unlock the full potential of Bitcoin by providing scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure, said Charlie Gordon, co-founder of Nexio. In partnership with Movement Labs, Nexio has built a framework that combines the horizontal interoperability of the high-throughput modular Move virtual machine with the vertical composability. This integration enables developers to build with Aptos move, Sui move, and Solidity, ensuring robust cross-chain functionality and seamless movement of assets between platforms.

Nexio plans to achieve several key milestones in the next 6-12 months, including the launch of a permissionless testnet and subsequent mainnet solution. These developments will mark a major step forward in improving the scalability, security, and interoperability of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

In our blog series on advanced formal verification of zero-knowledge proofs , we have discussed how to verify ZK instructions and a deep dive into two ZK vulnerabilities . By formally verifying every zkWasm instruction, we found and fixed every single vulnerability, allowing us to fully verify the technical safety and correctness of the entire zkWasm circuit, as shown in the public report and code repository . Although we have shown the process of verifying a zkWasm instruction and introduced the initial concepts of the project, readers familiar with formal verification may be interested in understanding the uniqueness of zkVM compared to other smaller ZK systems or other types of bytecode VMs in verification. In this article, we will discuss in depth some technical points encountered when verifying the zkWasm…
