How to Mine Nexellia (NXL)? Complete Beginner’s Guide

3 min readFeb 4, 2024

Nexellia Network Decentralized

The Nexellia project is based on the kaspa blockchain, the fastest, open-source, decentralized & fully scalable Layer-1 in the world.
Nexellia launches a GPU-focused fork, addressing the prevalence of ASIC mining operations. This strategic move is designed to bolster small-scale miners and amplify the network’s decentralization.

The fastest blockchain

Nexellia uses Kaspa technology which allows it to generate one block per second.

To put it in perspective, Bitcoin takes approximately 10 minutes to create a single block, while Ethereum takes about 15 seconds.

This incredible speed leads to lightning-fast transactions and instant confirmations on the Nexelia blockchain.

FASTEST TRANSACTIONS

Nexellia’s blockDAG network generates multiple blocks every second for posting transactions to the ledger. Combined with fully confirmed transactions in 10 seconds, this makes Nexellia ideal for everyday transactions.

INSTANT CONFIRMATION

Nexellia was designed to be hundreds of times faster than Bitcoin, with each Kaspa transaction visible to the network in one second, and each transaction fully confirmed in 10 seconds on average.

SCALABILITY

Nexellia solves the scalability problem with its ability to generate and confirm multiple blocks per second. This comes with no trade-off to security and decentralization as seen with Proof-of-Stake networks.

EFFICIENT PROOF-OF-WORK

Nexellia utilizes the optical-mining ready nHeavyHash algorithm for consensus and security of the network. This algorithm, combined with high-throughput DAG and no-wasted-blocks, makes it less energy intensive than other PoW networks.

SECURITY

Nexellia harnesses an ultra secure block network with no compromise to decentralization. Achieved with pure, stake-less, proof-of-work combined with a revolutionary GhostDAG Consensus mechanism.

BLOCKDAG

Overcoming the problem of blockchains, Nexellia processes all blocks in parallel linking all side-chains. This leads to a DAG structure that increases the formation of blocks per second drastically, creating a blockDAG

Now that we know the details about Nexellia, let’s get to mining some NXL!
