Node Deployment Guide

Deploy the Dual-Mode Nexus Node to establish your sovereign execution presence.

Independent Nexus Node operation enables quantitative funds, latency-sensitive traders, and institutions to deploy self-hosted liquidity infrastructure with complete asset custody and highly customizable algorithmic trading strategies.

The Nexus Node distribution is a Dual-Mode Toolkit, operating as either a Maker Nexus (for liquidity provision and yield generation) or a Taker Nexus (for high-frequency arbitrage and strict fund protection).

📌 Nexus is self-custodial, meaning the asset owner retains control of their Bitcoin through their own infrastructure.

Terminal Deployment

Security Confirmation: By proceeding, you confirm that you fully understand and assume total responsibility for the security of your private keys and funds.Please configure the following information to launch. (Note: The details below serve as the unique authorization credentials for your node, authorizing Bitcoin network transaction broadcasts and ensuring the continuous operation of the node.)Deployment Network(mainnet/testnet4):

  • Authorization Wallet Mnemonic: Enter words separated by commas.

  • Authorization Address:

  • Authorization Private Key (64-char hex):

Critical Architectural Requirement: The Taker Nexus and Maker Nexus must strictly share the same private key. Furthermore, all Maker market-making addresses across different trading pairs, as well as the Taker trading address, must be generated from this specific shared private key.

Launch Nexus.Once the terminal deployment is complete, open the Nexus client to finalize your setup.Sign a message using the Authorization Address you configured during the terminal deployment to securely access the configuration dashboard.

  • Step 1: Configure Basic Nexus Information

  • Step 2: Configure Taker and Maker Nexus (On-Demand)

Advanced Configurations

If your institutional security policies prohibit arbitrary script execution (curl | bash), or if you require explicit mapping of Docker environment variables (APP_ENV, custom ZMQ_HOST endpoints) into existing CI/CD pipelines, you can utilize our Advanced Quick Deployment or Manual Source Deployment methods.

Please request the comprehensive Enterprise Configuration Manifest during your partner onboarding process via hello@on.nexus.


📚 Concept Guide

Trading Wallet

The specialized hot/warm wallet environment operated internally by the Self-Hosted Nexus Node. Unlike traditional custodial wallets, it serves purely as an execution vault, holding the private keys necessary exclusively for the cryptographic signing of off-chain intents at millisecond latencies.

Nexus Node

The core software binary hosted by participating institutions. It supports two concurrent operational models: Maker Nexus (configured specifically to run automated market-making algorithms to generate yield) and Taker Nexus (configured for high-frequency algorithmic traders and arbitrageurs to securely generate/sign optimal execution intents off-chain).
