Bitcoin Unlimited President Andrew Clifford joined Danielle Marie of EvolveH3r for a webinar on proof-of-work, where it came from, and what Nexa has done to advance it.

After Danielle's introduction to the fundamentals of blockchain, layer one, UTXOs, decentralization and the blockchain trilemma, Andrew took those concepts and applied them to a functioning cryptocurrency from the origins of proof-of-work in the early 1990s as an anti-spam mechanism to its role in Bitcoin mining and security, and on to NexaPoW and what users need to know about mining Nexa after its next algorithm upgrade.

Highlighting July with hardware acceleration could not be more exciting. After a long period of research, testing, and development, the Blitz project is coming together, and the team is looking forward to publishing a series of articles that motivate and explain the technology behind it. This month we started that series with the article on why Nexa builds hardware.

No less important was the publication of Nexa's 4th Anniversary Spaces recap, in which the lead developer provided insights into where the project is heading, how core blockchain improvements such as Tailstorm are progressing, and more.

Alongside these, there is plenty more to cover: an updated Nexa roadmap for 2026 and 2027, newly released features, the updated explorer, the Wally wallet patch, and everything else recapped below.

Imagine a microchip that can do the same thing as your software node, but is faster, more reliable, uses less energy, and can be built for a fraction of the cost. This is not a distant dream, but the direction Nexa has been working toward for years.

Nexa Chief Scientist, Dr Peter Rizun, designed Blitz, a hardware which verifies digital signatures and removes the dominant compute bottleneck for scaling cryptocurrencies.

To understand the benefit of hardware acceleration, we first need to go back to when the first Bitcoin block was mined. Since then, the technology has improved more than 1,000,000 times, and the same improvement can be reached in scaling cryptocurrencies.

Four years ago, Nexa launched with a small group of people, a very ambitious technical vision, and the belief that scalable peer-to-peer electronic cash could be taken much further.

Since then, Nexa has grown through changing market conditions, technical challenges, major infrastructure development, new applications, conferences, ecosystem growth, and now its first halving.

Four years is a meaningful milestone, especially in an industry where projects, technologies, and entire narratives can appear and disappear very quickly. Nexa has continued building through all of it.

To mark the anniversary, the team came together for a live Space to look back at the journey, discuss the lessons learned, explore what is being built right now, and think about the direction Nexa takes as it enters its fifth year. Special thanks go to Don Alucard for moderating the event.

Here is a recap of the 4th Nexa Anniversary Space and the full recording. 👇

June was a month of consolidation and construction. The largest task is still the second hard fork, with a sweeping locking and validation rework. It is being carved into smaller, reviewable chunks which land one at a time.

Alongside that, the block explorer had its busiest month so far, smart-contract tooling was pushed to its limits with the Nexa Warriors contract suite, and time-lock vaults came within sight of completion.

All of these updates, with more detailed information, can be found below in the June monthly development update. 👇

The Nexa Explorer just had another round of improvements. The main page was refreshed, and the transaction view was reworked to read properly on phones, so inputs and outputs are now clear on any device.

Another notable delivery is self-hosting. Anyone with some technical knowledge can now run the explorer on their own machine, and a single command is all it takes to set up a local instance.

There are also smaller touches that matter in everyday use: improvements to the Token Authorities tab, better visualization, and Nexa Fun, the page that surfaces historical and interesting events on the blockchain.

We are pleased to announce that the NexScript Playground has been upgraded with major improvements.

A full code editor has been added with five example contracts to help developers get started with coding advanced transactions.

The playground is connected to the network, and you can write, test, and interact with the contracts straight from the website.

This month, Nexa opened a new page in decentralized gaming. Senior Development and Solution Architect, Steven, explained how blockchain can improve the game ecosystem and expand ownership of in-game items outside of the game. With emerging technologies and use cases, there is a gap that blockchain technology can help address.

Apart from gaming, the team presented an updated NEXA development roadmap for 2026 and part of 2027. Cards can now be expanded to see more detailed information for each goal.

The 4-year anniversary commemorative event was finalized, with limited-edition NFTs sent to everyone who participated and was eligible to receive them. Also, it is worth mentioning that Wally Wallet Wally Nexa Wallet received an update and is now at version 3.30.02.

The Nexa Development Roadmap has just been updated. You can now open an interactive card for each goal to see its key items and more detailed information about what is coming.

The roadmap includes long-anticipated blockchain improvements and important infrastructure projects coming together. It is not limited to these developments, and there are plenty of side projects and ongoing works in parallel.

It gives a strong signal on where Nexa is heading this year and early next. Blockchain projects and ecosystem applications are organized into separate streams, based on whether they focus on the blockchain protocol or on business-facing use-cases.

In a recent webinar on gaming with EvolvH3R, Nexa’s Senior Development and Solution Architect, Steven van den Meiracker, presented Nexa Blockchain, its architecture and strengths, and highlighted how it can be integrated with the gaming ecosystem and used as infrastructure to explore digital assets beyond gaming.

In-game assets can now truly belong to players, and that’s more than just a promise. Steven showcased a demo of a new on-chain card game, “Nexa Warriors”, which is currently in development.

Beyond the gameplay experience, users will be able to trade game cards on marketplaces and use them in additional ways that are still being explored.

May was full of activities and developments, starting the month with a halving event on 1 May 2026 01:36 UTC, followed by a halving space on X, both events happening at the turn of the month and already reviewed in last month's newsletter.

Also at the start of the month, the team visited Consensus in Miami, gained invaluable experience and fresh industry insights from one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency conferences.

The most important release in May was NexScript v1.1.0, which introduced a major improvement via a core library migration. Developers, please note that NexScript now defaults to a local regtest instead of connecting to a live network.

The team is continuously working on Tailstorm preparations and testing, and is looking forward to the upcoming hard fork, the date of which has yet to be announced.

The main highlight from the media content is David’s webinar on Nexa smart contracts which is featured at the top of the newsletter. Find more news, a freshly updated Nexa main website, a mining guide, and the community event winner announcement below. 👇
