Practical overview
When it fits
Use Nuvex when evaluating or developing a Solana job-based oracle design, especially its current ECVRF randomness flow. The documented repository is not ready for mainnet deployment or transaction-submitting use.
Who it is for
- Solana program developers assessing a verifiable-randomness design.
- Protocol and node developers reviewing job constraints, node eligibility and proof verification.
Documented uses
- Define a job using an input, constraints and a callback.
- Request verifiable randomness and specify how a callback receives the output.
- Review node fulfillment conditions: active status, minimum stake, a timely heartbeat and prior key registration.
- Develop and inspect the protocol's Rust programs, crates, SDKs and node components.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and declares an Apache-2.0 license.
- Proof verification uses solana-ecvrf 0.0.1; the README says no audit report was found for that crate.
- The node process, SDK and CLI do not currently submit transactions.
- Fees are not charged, and fee shares and selection weights remain unresolved.
- A configured callback receives the randomness output and no accounts.
- The repository explicitly says not to deploy this tree to mainnet.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare a local environment file
Copy the example environment file before configuring a process to point at a cluster.
Before you start
- A copy of the Nuvex repository with
env/.env.local.exampleavailable.
Steps
From the repository root, run
cp env/.env.local.example .env.local.Set the RPC URLs, program IDs, and key paths as needed; the source identifies these as variables, not source defaults.
Expected outcome
A local `.env.local` file is copied from the example and is available for configuration.
Guide limitations
- The source does not provide cluster-specific values or document starting a process with this file.
- The source says not to deploy this tree to mainnet.
