Status: pre-launch. This page describes target design; this document does not establish a deployed service.
Current scope: Nexus is the purpose-scoped connection capability within Agentz, not an independent buyer product. Older Skyzai ID, acquisition, and dashboard packaging below is retained as historical design. See The Product Family and Disambiguation.
Nexus — Purpose-Scoped Connections within Agentz
Nexus is the intended connection and disclosure boundary for a person, their Agentz work, and other permitted participants. A connection must specify its purpose, provenance, scope, expiry, and revocation. It can pass a derived view of relevant records; it does not hand over raw Cortex memory, own the person's keys, or confer permission to sign or act. APU presents permitted views, while Agentz owns the continuing work and retained Cortex memory.
Nexus may carry permitted case context to Menexus for ensurance, insurance, or assurance work. Menexus owns that product promise; Nexus does not issue coverage. An economic action, if separately authorized and executed, needs its own OFN receipt. The code and build surfaces cited by the earlier model do not prove this complete public flow is deployed.
Historical Nexus identity, acquisition, and dashboard model
The following prior package model is retained for provenance. Its references to a standalone Nexus product, automatic upgrade path, or Cortex access do not define current product ownership.
Nexus — Sovereign Identity, Graph, and Upgrade Root
nexus.skyzai.com | Free acquisition layer | Nostr-rooted identity
Nexus is the sovereign root of the Skyzai stack. It is what gets downloaded first, not because it is the most monetizable surface, but because it protects the asset most modern operators are most at risk of losing:
- their identity
- their audience
- their graph
- their wallet root
- their continuity
Current truth boundary: the Nexus substrate is real in code and membrane/build surfaces, but it is not yet safe to generalize that into a fully live public product claim.
What Nexus Is
Nexus provides connections and purpose-limited disclosure with provenance, expiry and revocation. Personal application continuity or notes are not automatically Cortex memory. Natural-person adapters do not directly access Cortex under the current operating-model boundary. This source correction does not migrate keys, storage or compatibility interfaces.
It is the no-access-fee acquisition surface (η=0). Revenue begins only when the person upgrades into governed business activity.
Why It Matters
Most platforms own the graph and rent access back to the user. Nexus inverts that:
- no platform owns your audience
- no single platform can revoke an identity that is your own key
- no platform can trap your business history in its own database
This is why Nexus is built on Nostr: your identity is a key you hold, so no platform can revoke it. The same property is a risk: Nostr has no widely adopted key rotation or recovery, so a lost or stolen key cannot be undone, and relays can still decline to carry your posts.
Substrate vs Product
There are two meanings of Nexus, and the distinction matters.
Nexus as substrate
This is the intended substrate layer. In the current tree, parts of it exist in code and build-proof form:
- key generation
- signer root
- graph continuity
- wallet root
- KYC capability
- Scoped context continuity (not natural-person access to Cortex)
Nexus as product
This becomes visible later:
- unified activity view
- control center across acceptance modes
- richer operator dashboard
- bundled business and memory surfaces
The rule is simple: the substrate comes first. The product surface earns the right to exist once multiple flows are actually alive.
The Upgrade Path
The first paid bridge out of Nexus is the Private Business Account.
A business-account upgrade adds software capabilities; it does not itself constitute an entity or authorize economic acts. The proposed capabilities include:
Nexus -> Private Business Account -> API PAY / Online / POS / Events
This is the rooted sequence the rest of Skyzai grows from.
What Nexus Does Not Do
- It does not begin as a bank.
- It does not begin as a wealth product.
- It does not need to be the whole dashboard on day one.
- It does not monetize through lock-in.
Nexus wins by making continuity portable, then letting the user upgrade when they are ready to earn through it.
One-Line Doctrine
Own your identity. Keep your graph. Upgrade when you want to monetize it.

The displaced passages are preserved verbatim for lineage. This retention date is not their original authorship date.
Predecessor passage 1
Nexus is the personal layer inside the Skyzai membrane. It gives one natural person:
- one Nostr keypair
- one sovereign profile and graph root
- one personal wallet and signer root
- one KYC-capable identity path
- one personal Cortex root
- one upgrade path into a Private Business Account
Predecessor passage 2
- Cortex root

That is the moment a sovereign person becomes a governed economic entity:
