The decentralized supercomputer by Nexus has attracted over 1.5 million nodes from 187 countries during a five-day test.
Last week’s testnet was a huge success.
More than 1.5 million nodes joined and contributed compute.
The testnet was also able to accommodate more than 100,000 nodes operating at the same time. pic.twitter.com/10JoxhApIq

More than 100,000 nodes operated simultaneously at full capacity.
— 1.5 million supercomputer nodes

Approximately 37% of participants connected to the decentralized computer using smartphones. In countries like Poland and Ethiopia, mobile devices have become dominant over PCs.
“We knew we had to lower the entry barrier to scale this global network, so we made it easy for anyone to connect using any device,” the company noted.
Nexus is developing a supercomputer that will combine the computing power of computers and smartphones worldwide to create a “verifiable internet.” In June, the company raised $25 million in a Series A round.
Despite the decentralization of nodes, Nexus maintains control over the focus of the supercomputer—the programs that will run on the network.
Internet Computer is working on a similar product—infrastructure in the field of decentralized computing.
Back in April, Forbes labeled the network as useless.
