Run a Node

Anyone can run a Nuvex node. Requirements: Ubuntu 20.04+, 2GB RAM, 50GB disk, Go 1.21+.

Install Go

apt install golang-go -y
go version  # should show go1.22+

Clone & Build

git clone https://github.com/nuvex-foundation/nuvex
cd nuvex
go build -o nuvexd cmd/nuvexd/main.go

Start Your Node

# Start and connect to mainnet
./nuvexd start node.nuvex-chain.io:26656

Run as System Service

cat > /etc/systemd/system/nuvex.service << EOF

Check Node Status

systemctl status nuvex

Green Validator Bonus
Validators running on certified renewable energy receive a +0.5% APY bonus. Join the green network.

Consensus: dBFT-PoS

Nuvex uses Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerant Proof-of-Stake — the most efficient consensus mechanism available.

How It Works

Step	Action
1	NVX holders stake tokens to become Delegators
2	Delegators vote for up to 512 Validators
3	VRF selects Leader (stake-weighted, random)
4	Leader proposes new block
5	Validators vote: PREPARE → COMMIT
6	2/3+1 signatures = IRREVERSIBLE finality

Slashing Rules

Offense	Penalty
Double signing	5% slash + permanent jail
Excessive downtime	0.01% slash

Tokenomics

Units

Unit	Value	Use
NVX	1 NVX	Display, trading
unvx	0.000001 NVX	On-chain amounts

Example: 1,000,000 unvx = 1 NVX

Distribution

Category	%	Amount	Vesting
Community Fair Launch	55%	275,000,000 NVX	Immediate
Ecosystem Fund	20%	100,000,000 NVX	Governance
Staking Rewards	20%	100,000,000 NVX	10yr linear
Founders	5%	25,000,000 NVX	4yr vesting

Deflationary Mechanism

Every transaction on Nuvex burns 0.1% of the fee permanently:

burn_amount = fee * 10 / 10_000  // 0.1% of fee
validator_reward = fee - burn_amount

Halving Schedule

Every 5 years (~78,840,000 blocks), the block reward halves. Initial reward: 50 NVX/block.

Epoch	Year	Block	Reward
0	2025	0	50.0000 NVX
1	2030	78,840,000	25.0000 NVX
2	2035	157,680,000	12.5000 NVX
3	2040	236,520,000	6.2500 NVX
4	2045	315,360,000	3.1250 NVX
5	2050	394,200,000	1.5625 NVX

Wallet & Keys

Address Format

nuvex1[38 hex characters]
Example: nuvex1af7c2f39fd1751be635ff6141a4c4aea8cda91

Key Generation

Nuvex uses SECP256k1 — the same elliptic curve as Bitcoin.

Private Key: 32 random bytes (64 hex chars)
Public Key:  64 bytes (128 hex chars)
Address:     SHA256(SHA256(pubkey))[0:19] prefixed with "nuvex1"

Never share your private key. Anyone with your private key has full control of your NVX. Write it on paper. Never store digitally.

FAQ

Who created Nuvex?

Nuvex was created anonymously by the Nuvex Foundation — like Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin. The idea stands on its own. No founder reputation. No central authority.

How do I get NVX?

Nuvex is a Fair Launch — no ICO, no presale. NVX will be available on decentralized exchanges. Run a validator node to earn staking rewards.

Is Nuvex open source?

Yes. The complete source code is available on GitHub. Anyone can verify, fork, or contribute.

How is Nuvex different from Ethereum?

Nuvex has a hard supply cap (500M NVX), a halving schedule every 5 years, sub-second finality, 100,000+ TPS, and fees under $0.001. Ethereum has none of these.

Can I run a validator?

Yes. Minimum stake: 100 NVX. Connect to mainnet at node.nuvex-chain.io:26656.
