Recently, HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of Huobi HTX, announced a strategic investment in Nexio, an innovative MoveVM-powered Bitcoin scaling solution leveraging parallelized ZK rollup technology.
Powered by MoveVM, Nexio’s parallelized Bitcoin rollup supports over 30,000 transactions per second while keeping gas fees below $0.01, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. This technology addresses critical challenges within the Bitcoin ecosystem—slow transaction speeds, high gas fees, and insufficient tooling—that have long hindered mass adoption.
Nexio recently completed a $2 million Pre-seed funding round led by Lattice Fund, with participation from HTX Ventures, aiming to revolutionize Bitcoin’s scalability and usability. The funding will enable Nexio to accelerate the development and adoption of its parallelized Bitcoin rollup technology. Led by co-founders with extensive experience in Bitcoin zkVM rollup development, Nexio is setting new standards in blockchain technology.
Nexio’s technology integrates zk-Rollup, multi-party computation (MPC) threshold signature schemes, and the Fractal interpreter, establishing new benchmarks in speed, security, and interoperability. By leveraging MPC threshold signatures, Nexio eliminates single points of failure, offering a more secure and decentralized transaction validation mechanism than traditional multisig approaches.
“Bitcoin scaling solutions aim to enhance Bitcoin’s capabilities and bridge gaps between different blockchain ecosystems. Nexio seamlessly integrates applications and liquidity from Move, Cosmos, and any EVM-compatible ecosystem into Bitcoin,” said a Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. “Nexio also delivers highly competitive low gas fees alongside high-TPS infrastructure. HTX Ventures is thrilled to support Nexio in ushering in a new era of innovation and adoption within the Bitcoin ecosystem, enabling sophisticated DeFi applications, gaming platforms, NFT marketplaces, and infrastructure projects to thrive.”
“Nexio’s vision is to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential by providing scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure,” said Charlie Gordon, co-founder of Nexio. Through collaboration with Movement Labs, Nexio has built a framework that combines horizontal interoperability of high-throughput modular Move virtual machines with vertical composability. This integration enables developers to build using Aptos Move, Sui Move, and Solidity, ensuring robust cross-chain functionality and seamless asset movement across platforms.
Nexio plans to achieve several key milestones within the next 6–12 months, including launching a permissionless testnet followed by its mainnet solution. These developments will mark significant progress in enhancing Bitcoin’s scalability, security, and interoperability.
