The last few days of April 2025 have delivered extreme gains to investors in the cryptocurrency market. The recent 70% surge in SUI’s valuation over seven days has garnered media attention, but a different up-and-coming presale continues to grow discreetly.
As April 2025 closes, the cryptocurrency market has seen notable price movements, most prominently a 70% rise in SUI over the past week. While that gain has drawn attention, another project, Nexchain (NEX), continues to build momentum during its ongoing presale.
Positioned as an AI-integrated blockchain platform, Nexchain aims to address existing challenges in scalability, interoperability, and network security through a mix of sharding technology, programmable smart contracts, and native cross-chain functionality.
Exploring Nexchain’s Core Architecture
Nexchain introduces a structure that blends Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based sharding with Proof-of-Stake and AI-supported consensus. The architecture is designed to enable parallel ledger processing, with the project reporting capacity for up to 400,000 transactions per second under test conditions.
The platform incorporates AI modules into its consensus layer, enabling real-time adjustments based on transaction load and stake distribution. These modules also support anomaly detection to help mitigate potential network attacks. Nexchain relies on staked tokens for network security and validator rewards.
One of the main innovations is Smart Contracts 2.0. It includes features such as adaptive rule adjustments based on real-time oracle data. Additionally, cross-chain functionality is built in from launch through Nexchain’s native bridge. This system supports atomic swaps and development across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, using a unified SDK for cross-chain app deployment.
Emphasis on Security and Sustainability
Security within the Nexchain framework is enhanced through on-chain AI analysis intended to detect irregular behavior before vulnerabilities are exploited. The platform also highlights its use of low-energy consensus algorithms to reduce its environmental footprint, aligning with emerging sustainability standards.
According to the team, Nexchain has undergone a security audit by CertiK, with no major vulnerabilities reported.
Token Sale and Roadmap
The Nexchain token presale is currently in its eighth phase, offering NEX tokens at $0.031. The platform has set a target of $50 million for this round, with a total supply of 2.15 billion tokens. Early participation incentives include promotional discounts for users registering and completing KYC on the Nexchain website.
Key roadmap milestones include:
Q3 2025: Testnet launch with AI oracle integration and public explorer
Q4 2025: Mainnet release and DeFi bridge integration
Q1 2026: Public launch with planned listings on exchanges such as Coinbase, KuCoin, and Bybit (subject to confirmation)
While timelines are subject to change, the platform’s focus remains on building a high-throughput, cross-compatible infrastructure intended to support DeFi applications, NFTs, and enterprise-grade blockchain use cases.

SUI’s Recent Growth
In contrast, SUI, an existing Layer 1 network, has experienced rapid adoption in the DeFi space. Over the past week, DEX volumes surged 177% to nearly $599 million, and stablecoin market capitalization on the network rose from $482 million to $879 million over the past two months.
Data from DefiLlama indicates a total value locked (TVL) of $1.64 billion as of late April, up 38% since early February. These increases are attributed to SUI’s low transaction costs and ability to execute transactions in parallel, which has drawn in liquidity and new protocols.
Outlook
While SUI’s recent growth shows the pace at which Layer 1 networks can gain traction, newer platforms like Nexchain are exploring alternative approaches by integrating AI and modular design to improve functionality and scalability.
Whether Nexchain can meet its projected roadmap and adoption targets remains to be seen. For now, it represents one of several projects exploring AI-enhanced consensus and smart contract logic as the sector searches for more adaptive and efficient blockchain models.
