Nexus Pre-Proposal: A Full-Stack Decentralized Content Platform (V2.2.0)
Proposal Status: MVP Development Completed. Applying for Ecosystem Growth & Node Deployment Grants.
Funding Request: [Insert Amount] USDT / CKB
Project Status: Code is Open Source. Core functionalities (Payments, NFTs, AI) are live.
- Executive Summary
Nexus is not a PPT project. As of March 8, 2026, we have completed the full-stack development of version V2.2.0. This is a production-grade, decentralized video and content platform built on the Nervos CKB.
We have established a complete microservices architecture (18 services), a React SPA frontend, and Docker infrastructure. Nexus achieves a seamless fusion of Web2-level user experience (akin to YouTube/Spotify) with Web3-level ownership (Spore NFTs + Fiber Payments + RGB++ Revenue Splitting).
This proposal seeks funding for Testnet public testing incentives, infrastructure node deployment, and cold-start subsidies for our first wave of creators.
- Technical Status: Proof of Work
Based on the code analysis from the GitHub repository alefnt/nexus-video-platform, Nexus has achieved the following core capabilities:
Architecture
- Microservices: 18 independent Fastify services (ranging from Identity to Transcoding) have been developed, ensuring decoupling under high concurrency.
- Tech Stack: 100% TypeScript coverage, utilizing Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL, backed by Redis and MinIO. This is an enterprise-grade, robust architecture.
- Storage Engine: Implementation of a 3-Tier Hybrid Storage Engine:
Hot Storage: MinIO (S3 Compatible, ensuring instant playback).
Warm Storage: Filecoin (via web3.storage for decentralized redundancy).
Cold Storage: Arweave (for permanent archiving).
Web3 Integration
- Identity: Supports JoyID Passkey (No Seed Phrase), MetaMask, WalletConnect, and traditional OAuth (Email, TikTok, YouTube, Bilibili).
- Payments: Integrated with Fiber Network, enabling a per-second billing streaming payment system.
- Assets: Integrated with Spore Protocol, supporting 7 NFT categories (Ownership, Tickets, Limited Editions, Creator Badges, etc.).
- Revenue Splitting: Integrated RGB++ for multi-party revenue distribution (Isomorphic binding).
Feature Modules
- AI Studio (Latest in V2.2.0): Includes AI Article generation, AI Music (Suno), and AI Video (Runway/Kling) tools, supporting BYOK (Bring Your Own Key).
- Live Streaming: Real-time streaming based on LiveKit, featuring live chat, gifting (10 gift types), and PK modes.
- Social System: Includes DMs, follow systems, comments, Danmaku (live comments), and Watch Party (3D virtual rooms).
- DAO Governance: Built-in DAO voting and proposal systems.
- Core Features: The Product
Based on the codebase, Nexus is not just a simple player, but an operating system.
Content Consumption
- Pay-per-Second (Fiber): Users pay by the second they watch, rather than buying subscriptions. The Payment Service (:8091) handles micropayment channels.
- NFT Ownership: Every video, song, and article is a Spore NFT. Users buy assets, not just licenses.
Creator Tools
- AI Marketplace: The V2.2.0 update focuses heavily on the AI Studio. Creators can publish their own AI tools (with pricing), and users generate transactions simply by using them, with revenue automatically split via RGB++.
- Multi-Modal Support: Full support for video, music, articles, and live streams.
Infrastructure
- Code Quality: Comprehensive E2E testing (Playwright) and unit tests are in place.
- Scalability: Docker Compose allows for one-click deployment, with the ability to scale individual microservices independently.
- Roadmap: From MVP to Mainnet
Now that the code is complete, our roadmap focuses on deployment and ecosystem growth.
Phase 1: Testnet Stress Test & Public Beta (Month 1-2)
- Goal: Validate the stability of Fiber payments and the accuracy of RGB++ revenue splits.
- Actions:
- Deploy the Testnet public environment.
- Recruit 1,000 Beta users for stress-testing the per-second billing.
- Fix bugs and optimize AI generation response speeds.
- Deliverables: Public Testnet demo, stress test report.
Phase 2: Ecosystem Incentives & Cold Start (Month 3-4)
- Goal: Attract the first 100 creators and 10,000 users.
- Actions:
- Launch the “Legacy-to-Ledger” plan: Fund traditional media/music institutions to migrate content on-chain.
- Launch “Spin & Win”: Utilize the built-in Daily Spin Wheel to distribute PTS rewards and incentivize user activity.
- DAO Launch: Community votes on the first list of funded creators.
- Deliverables: 100+ on-chain contents, 10,000+ MAU.
Phase 3: Mainnet Launch & AI Ecosystem Boom (Month 5-6)
- Goal: Achieve a true economic closed loop.
- Actions:
- Official Mainnet launch.
- Focus on promoting the AI Tool Marketplace, allowing developers to profit from selling AI tools.
- Implement cross-chain functionality (Bridge Service).
- Deliverables: Monthly GMV exceeding 1 million PTS.
- The Why: Problem & Solution
Solving the “Exploitation” Model of Web2 Platforms
- The Problem: YouTube/Netflix force subscriptions. Creators face 30%-50% platform cuts and own no copyright.
- The Nexus Solution: The Fiber payment system allows users to pay per second. The RGB++ revenue split ensures creators take home over 90% of the revenue.
Solving the “Clunkiness” of Web3 Applications
- The Problem: Most Web3 apps have poor UX, high gas fees, and complex operations.
- The Nexus Solution: The code implements JoyID Passkey (no seed phrase), making the user experience feel like a Web2 app. The Fiber L2 solution solves gas fees, allowing near-zero cost interaction.
Solving CKB’s “Lack of Killer App” Problem
- The Problem: The CKB ecosystem lacks high-frequency, high-value real-world use cases.
- The Nexus Solution: Nexus is a full-stack, production-grade codebase. It directly utilizes CKB’s Cell Model (Spore), Layer2 (Fiber), and cross-chain protocols (RGB++). It is the ultimate showcase for the CKB tech stack.
