Nesa wallet

What is Nesa (NES)?

NES is the token of Nesa, a Layer 1 built for running AI models on a decentralized network. Instead of sending a prompt to a single company's server, an inference request goes to the network, where independent nodes process it, and Nesa's encryption is meant to keep the data in that request hidden from the nodes doing the work. NES is what the network runs on: it pays for inference requests, transaction processing and data storage, it is what validators and miners stake to take part in running the network, and it carries governance votes on protocol parameters. There is also a developer side to it - an SDK for submitting inference requests, node software, and explorers in both Cosmos and EVM flavors.

That last point matters for a holder. Nesa's own chain is built on the Cosmos stack, while the NES most people actually hold is an ERC-20 on Ethereum or a BEP-20 on BNB Smart Chain, issued so the token can circulate in the EVM world. Those are representations of NES, not the chain itself: transfers of them are paid in ETH or BNB, not in NES, and staking or running a node happens on the Nesa network, not from an Ethereum or BNB balance. Anyone planning to stake should expect a move to the native chain first.

Supported networks in Tangem (2): Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain. Because the token exists on more than one chain and the same address works on every EVM network, the network matters as much as the address: the Tangem app shows both on the send screen, and the holder checks them before the card signs by NFC tap. That is exactly the check a token living in two places needs, and a good reason to keep NES in a wallet whose app shows the network plainly before signing.
