Overview
NEXUS V2 will provide unified liquidity across Bitcoin, Zcash, and Dogecoin via intent exchange, enabling seamless cross-chain operations.
Cross-chain swaps and unified liquidity are planned for V2. V1 supports deposits, withdrawals, and smart contracts on each chain independently.
V1 (Current)
| Chain | Deposits | Withdrawals | Smart Contracts |
|---|
| Bitcoin | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Zcash | ✅ (t-addr) | ✅ (t-addr) | ✅ |
| Dogecoin | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
V2 (Planned) - Intent Exchange
| Chain | Cross-Chain Swaps | Unified Liquidity |
|---|
| Bitcoin | 🔄 BTC/ZEC, BTC/DOGE | 🔄 |
| Zcash | 🔄 ZEC/BTC, ZEC/DOGE | 🔄 |
| Dogecoin | 🔄 DOGE/BTC, DOGE/ZEC | 🔄 |
How Intent Exchange Works (V2)
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ V2: Intent Exchange │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 1. User creates swap intent │
│ "Swap 1 BTC for at least 50,000 DOGE" │
│ │ │
│ ▼ │
│ 2. Intent broadcast to solver network │
│ │ │
│ ▼ │
│ 3. Solvers compete to fill the intent │
│ │ │
│ ▼ │
│ 4. Best solver executes cross-chain swap │
│ │ │
│ ▼ │
│ 5. User receives DOGE on Dogecoin L1 │

V2 Cross-Chain Swap Example
// V2: Intent-based cross-chain swap
const intent = await client.createSwapIntent({
fromChain: 'bitcoin',
toChain: 'dogecoin',
fromAmount: '100000000', // 1 BTC in sats
minToAmount: '50000000000000', // 50,000 DOGE minimum
recipient: dogeAddress,
deadline: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600 // 1 hour
});
console.log('Intent ID:', intent.id);
// Wait for solver to fill the intent
const result = await client.waitForIntentFulfillment(intent.id);
console.log('Received:', result.amountOut, 'DOGE');
V1 Usage (Current)
In V1, each chain operates independently:
Deposit to Bitcoin
const vault = await client.getVaultAddress('bitcoin');
console.log('Deposit BTC to:', vault.vaultAddress);
// Send BTC via bitcoin-cli or wallet
Deposit to Zcash
const vault = await client.getVaultAddress('zcash');
console.log('Deposit ZEC to:', vault.vaultAddress); // t-addr
// Send ZEC via zcash-cli or wallet
Deposit to Dogecoin
const vault = await client.getVaultAddress('dogecoin');
console.log('Deposit DOGE to:', vault.vaultAddress);
// Send DOGE via dogecoin-cli or wallet
Benefits of Intent Exchange (V2)
- Best execution - Solvers compete for best price
- No slippage - Price locked at intent creation
- Trustless - Cryptographic guarantees
- Cross-chain atomic - All-or-nothing execution
- MEV protection - Intents prevent front-running
