Nexera Chain Mainnet Soft Launch Is Now Live

We’re proud to announce that the Nexera Mainnet is officially live.

This marks a major milestone in the journey to deliver the first compliance-ready Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for on-chain institutional capital markets, and the facilitation of billions on-chain from accredited financial institutions 

With this launch, Nexera enters live operations and begins a structured rollout across four strategic phases. Each phase has a defined focus and timeline, allowing us to activate the network progressively while ensuring security, performance, and institutional readiness.

Why It Matters

The growing demand for tokenized assets, compliant DeFi, and regulated financial infrastructure requires a fundamentally different approach to blockchain architecture.

Nexera has been purpose-built to meet these challenges head-on, combining compliance-by-design capabilities with a modular and interoperable infrastructure.

The transition from testnet to mainnet is more than a technical deployment. It reflects the maturity of the Nexera architecture and our readiness to onboard real clients and institutional use cases.

Mainnet Rollout: A Four-Phase Plan

To ensure a stable and secure progression, Nexera’s mainnet rollout is structured into four core phases. Each phase builds upon the previous one, unlocking greater functionality, usability, and institutional access as the network evolves.

Phase 1: Mainnet Soft Launch (Now Active)

The Nexera Chain is now live and running under real conditions. This initial phase is focused on testing the performance and stability of the mainnet in a production environment. We are monitoring block finality, transaction throughput, validator coordination, and on-chain governance mechanics in a live setting.

During this phase, we are also deploying and testing the initial modules of the Nexera stack. These include critical compliance primitives, permissioning layers, and protocol services that will serve as the backbone for future applications.

Validator performance and network telemetry will be closely monitored to ensure the system meets the operational standards required for institutional-grade infrastructure.

This phase sets the foundation for all future functionality.

Estimated Duration: Approximately 3 months.

Phase 2: Bridge Activation and Staking

In Phase 2, we will activate the Nexera Bridge, enabling users to move NXRA tokens between external networks and the Nexera Chain, where NXRA will become native.

This integration opens the door to cross-chain interactions and initiates the first phase of user engagement with the network.

Crucially, staking will also go live in this phase.

NXRA stakers and MERIT holders will receive priority access to begin staking by delegating NXRA to validators. This allows early participants to contribute to securing the network and to begin earning rewards for their role in maintaining consensus.

Staking infrastructure, delegation tools, and validator dashboards will be released alongside clear documentation to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for both retail and institutional participants.

This phase represents the first real use case for NXRA within the Nexera ecosystem, allowing users to actively participate in its security and operations.

Estimated Duration: Approximately 2 months.

Phase 3: Interoperability Expansion

Phase 3 focuses on unlocking advanced interoperability with external networks.

We will partner with well-known third-party bridge providers to allow seamless flow of assets and data between Nexera and other major blockchain ecosystems. This enables external users, liquidity, and applications to access the Nexera Chain more easily and broadens Nexera’s role in the wider cross-chain landscape.

This phase also marks the beginning of live client deployments.

Our first institutional partners will start deploying tokenized assets, onboarding users, and interacting with our compliance modules in a real-world context. These deployments will serve as reference implementations for others looking to build within the Nexera ecosystem.

In addition, we will begin tracking Total Value Locked across early deployments and continue activating key modules within the Nexera infrastructure, including:

• Compliance and identity verification tools
  
• Transaction rule engines
  
• Decentralized exchange integration
  
• Permissioned asset issuance frameworks
  

This phase is a major step in transitioning from testing to active usage across multiple application layers.

Estimated Duration: Approximately 3 months.

Phase 4: Institutional Onboarding and Ecosystem Growth

This phase marks the full operational deployment of Nexera for institutional use cases.

We will begin onboarding a broader set of institutional clients, including asset managers, fund administrators, and financial institutions looking to tokenize real-world assets, launch permissioned DeFi platforms, or build compliant on-chain services.

This phase includes the rollout of advanced features such as:

• Identity and access control systems tailored to enterprise and regulatory requirements
  
• Compliance automation modules that enforce KYC, AML, KYT as well as option to have privacy-preserving compliance, as well as on-chain policy enforcement.
  
• Modular permissioning frameworks for both permissioned and public asset types
  
• Enterprise-grade developer APIs to support integration with legacy systems and financial platforms
  

Institutions will be able to deploy tailored applications using Nexera’s core infrastructure, whether for fund tokenization, private market access, structured products, or regulated exchanges.

We will also continue growing TVL through regulated integrations and onboarding real assets into the ecosystem.

By the end of this phase, Nexera will be positioned as a trusted infrastructure layer for regulated digital markets, offering both technical capability and regulatory alignment.

Estimated Launch: End of this year to early next year.

What Comes Next

Each phase of the rollout will include supporting materials, developer guides, validator updates, and community touchpoints. We will continue to publish technical updates and announce partnerships, integrations, clients, and live deployments as they go online.

This launch is an important moment, one that reflects our focused work across engineering, infrastructure, compliance, and ecosystem design. But it’s only the beginning.

We look forward to working closely with developers, institutions, and ecosystem partners as we build a stronger, more compliant, and more connected blockchain economy.

The future of insitutional capital is entering its next era, on Nexera.
