What Is NEXUS? What Are the Advantages of the Nexus Launch on Gate Alpha?
In the wave of DeSci (Decentralized Science) sweeping through Web3 Today, a project called Nexus (NEXUS) has caused a market sensation with its disruptive concept. Nexus, driven by X’s KOL @RileyRalmuto, has proposed an unprecedented economic model: transforming intellectual property into tradable on-chain assets, restructuring the scientific research value distribution system through staking validation and reference royalty mechanism. This star project has officially debuted on the Gate Alpha trading platform on June 24, 2025.
According to the official introduction, NEXUS is the GitHub × Reddit × in the research community. Ethereum— A decentralized protocol that enables humans and AI to collaboratively write, review, and own scientific outcomes in real-time. By leveraging X’s Threads, token staking validation, and citation revenue sharing mechanism, it replaces traditional paywalls and centralized reviewers, transforming each discovery into verifiable, openly stored, and fairly rewarded knowledge.
NEXUS tokens are issued on the Believe platform, and Believe is the former Clout. Clout is a SocialFi platform that allows celebrities and creators to issue tokens named after themselves, attracting fans and investors to participate, thereby achieving the financialization of personal brands. On April 28, Clout announced its rebranding as Believe.
Believe platform has once formed a tripartite force with Pump.fun, LetBonk.fun, etc. in the past few months, indicating that the market’s interest in ‘financialization of influence’ and ‘early-stage project investment’ is still strong, but it is clearly suitable for short-term high-frequency traders due to high volatility and emotion-driven nature. Currently, LAUNCHCOIN has a strong consensus basis and popularity, but lacks a stable mechanism, with varying project screening quality and a relatively short token lifecycle. Caution is needed against the risk of sudden liquidity reduction and selling pressure. Key future observations include: new project quality, platform governance mechanism launch schedule, linkage path with mainstream exchanges like Gate, and the ability to build a moat to resist the impact of new competing products.
Gate Alpha: Why is it the first choice for innovative projects?
- Positioning of the ‘Token Potential Detector’ section: Gate Alpha, a trading section under Gate, focuses on early high-growth assets, known for ‘seamless on-chain trading’ and low slippage characteristics. Its user base is highly sensitive to emerging narratives, accurately matching target audience for innovative projects like Nexus.
- First-launch effect combined with ecological incentives: In conjunction with the launch of Nexus, Gate Alpha simultaneously started the ‘Carnival of Points’ event, offering a $300,000 prize pool and trading check-in rewards. This combination of ‘new launch + event’ significantly amplifies market enthusiasm, helping Nexus surge by 451% within 24 hours of listing.
- Pre-trading mechanism captures early benefits: The unique pre-trading function of the Alpha section (Pre-Listing Trading) allows users to trade before the token is officially listed. This mechanism enables investors to capture value earlier, reducing the risk of missing out on explosive market trends.
The significance of the first launch: When infrastructure meets the knowledge economy
The outbreak of Nexus is not accidental. It directly addresses the three major pain points of the traditional scientific research system: difficulty in confirming results, low collaboration efficiency, and imbalanced value distribution. The keen layout of Gate Alpha confirms its ability to select innovative assets—especially with the launch of the third stage of the test network, the expected launch of the main network (2025 Q3), and the upcoming airdrop window, the synergistic effect between the platform and the project has already emerged.
Data confirms the trend: After the launch of the Nexus testnet, the number of on-chain addresses surged to 664, indicating a low degree of coin concentration and high participation of retail investors; while the $300,000 prize pool activity of Gate Alpha will continue until the end of June, serving as a strong stimulant for early liquidity injection. This triple experiment of DeSci + high-performance public chain + token economy is reshaping the value boundary of knowledge with code, and Gate Alpha has become its key promoter.
