With a mission to become a thriving, interconnected blockchain, Apex Fusion bridges UTXO and EVM technologies, driving innovation that transcends individual ecosystems. Featuring a tri-blockchain architecture, Apex Fusion aims to solve blockchain fragmentation by connecting UTXO and account-based networks.
Through the integration with Tenderly’s essential development tools and full-stack infrastructure, Apex Fusion further unifies the Web3 experience on Nexus, its EVM-compatible L2. The integration gives you industry-recognized dev tooling and infrastructure for every stage of dapp development on Nexus, allowing you to catch and fix critical bugs and prevent potential losses.
With Tenderly’s support, you can build innovative, resilient dapps on Nexus while gaining access to Apex Fusion’s cutting-edge multichain ecosystem.
How Apex Fusion unites UTXO and EVM ecosystems
Apex Fusion aims at building a compliant-by-design blockchain ecosystem that fosters innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing beyond isolated silos. It embraces disruptive technologies to unlock the network effects for entrepreneurs, users, and developers, driving the global adoption of the Web3 movement.
To maximize the potential of blockchain technologies and the value for its users, Apex Fusion has a unique architecture that consists of three distinct blockchains:
- Prime is an L1 backbone of Apex Fusion, serving as the base layer for its L2 chains. It uses the Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol and acts as the anchor chain for the Fusion ecosystem. Additionally, Prime is the exclusive issuer of the AP3X token that powers the ecosystem’s economy.
- Vector is an L2 UTXO-based blockchain optimized for performance. It features low transaction fees and high processing speed, supporting dapps from the UTXO ecosystem focused on DeFi and gaming use cases.
- Nexus is the EVM-compatible L2 from the Apex Fusion ecosystem. Designed for dapps that require real-time interactions and rapid settlement, it relies on Ethereum’s thriving ecosystem of protocols, applications, and developer infrastructure.
- Reactor connects all three blockchains as a bi-directional bridge that enables seamless interoperability between the chains. Pioneered by the Apex Fusion team, Reactor facilitates the flow of the Apex token while also enabling Vector and Nexus to rely on Prime for security and decentralization.
What Nexus brings to the developer community
As an EVM-compatible L2 solution connected to the UTXO ecosystem, Nexus brings you the best of both worlds. Nexus is built on the Polygon Edge EVM implementation, which ensures ecosystem compatibility with industry-standard smart contract frameworks.
Building on the Nexus L2 chain brings you:
- Full EVM compatibility: It features a familiar development environment with EVM-compatible tools and infrastructure, allowing you to seamlessly port your existing applications to the chain.
- Low transaction costs and high performance: Nexus allows you to build high-scale DeFi and gaming applications that benefit from fast executions and low fees essential for a user-friendly experience.
- Access to the Apex Fusion ecosystem: As one of the three Apex blockchains, Nexus is connected to the UTXO-based Vector L2, enabling interaction between these two ecosystems while drawing security from Prime as its base layer.
- The Apex Vision portal: Designed as a mobile-first application, the Vision Portal provides an interface for onchain interactions and standard features such as wallet management and swaps. It also includes additional functionalities, such as building reputation through ecosystem contributions and endorsing projects and individuals.
How to unify development and scaling on Nexus with Tenderly
By bringing essential development and production infrastructure under one roof, Tenderly’s integration with Nexus further unifies the Web3 experience in the Apex Fusion ecosystem. The integration gives developers on Nexus industry-recognized debugging tools, pioneering simulation capabilities, and advanced development and production infrastructure for the entire dapp lifecycle.
With Tenderly’s full-stack infrastructure and dev tools, you can catch critical bugs early in development or mitigate the risks and potential losses in production. Additionally, you can collaborate seamlessly with your team over shared environments and build scalable dapps faster and more efficiently.
Here’s how to use Tenderly throughout development and production on Nexus:
- Build, test, and stage your applications on Virtual TestNets, a development infrastructure synced with the most recent state of the Nexus chain. With a built-in unlimited faucet, debugging tools, and state manipulation cheatcodes, you can test contract execution under realistic conditions, uncovering any unexpected behavior or hidden bugs before you deploy to Nexus.
- Inspect, debug, and simulate failed transactions with granular insights into asset transfers, human-readable error messages, and full control over contract code. Use Tenderly’s leading dev tools to debug errors on the exact line where they happened, apply a fix right away, and simulate the execution to preview the expected results.
- Empower dapp users with insights into transaction outcomes before approving them on Nexus. Integrate pioneering simulation technology so users can simulate simple and complex transactions, gaining insights into transaction status, gas usage, and potentially unwanted consequences.
- Monitor onchain activity and react automatically to mitigate critical issues before they become exploits. Set up real-time Alerts to receive notifications for a range of events, such as failed transactions, token transfers, or blocklisted address interactions. Then, connect them to custom webhooks or Web3 Actions to automate a response flow once specified conditions are met.
- Explore, analyze, and interact with addresses on Nexus, gathering rich insights into onchain activity. Dive into fully decoded information on address activity, asset transfers, and token and NFT holdings of specific addresses.
