Some narratives feel overcrowded on CT, but one area still looks underpriced: verifiable automation.
Zapier hits $300M+ ARR, n8n reaches a $2.5B valuation. Demand is real, but the model is still the same: centralized platforms running opaque workflows on private servers.
And that’s the core problem.
If the vendor goes down, your workflows stop.
If they change pricing, you adapt.
You never see how your automations actually execute and you never own what you build.
AI agents on top of this stack aren’t truly autonomous, they’re just interfaces plugged into someone else’s system.
That’s where @Talus_Labs comes in. After digging into their stack, it actually feels like the first attempt to turn automation into public infra instead of a closed platform.
➢ Why this matters:
• Nexus is basically a decentralized n8n/Zapier
• Workflows run onchain as verifiable DAGs
• Every action leaves an immutable receipt
• Built for AI agents that can act, transact and earn onchain
➢ How Nexus works:
• Tools: atomic actions (swaps, model calls, oracles)
• Workflows: logic chains connecting those Tools
• Agents: onchain entities triggering workflows autonomously
This fixes the classic issues of centralized automation: outages, zero transparency, no ownership.
➢ The $US token:
Everything in Nexus runs through $US: execution fees, staking, workload priority and later governance.
More agents → more automations → more $US demand.
➢ TGE:
Users receive $US at launch. You can stake it in loyalty pools (up to 300% APR).
The yield token $yUS comes later, and the team wants to launch it on Nexus so vault logic runs fully onchain.
➢ The bigger picture:
• Automation is a $20B+ market.
• AI agents are becoming a category.
• Decentralized intelligence proved value should sit at the network layer.
Talus sits exactly at this intersection. With TGE close, $US tied to real execution, and $10M raised from @polychain with backing from @SuiNetwork and @WalrusProtocol, this is one of the more interesting launches in the agent-infra sector.
