Nerva 2024 year in review

Nerva’s 2024 – Year in Review


Another year went by and we are still here, still grinding and growing. A lot of projects that were created around the same time are gone or on life support but Nerva keeps going and getting things done.


For those who are new, Nerva is a privacy, proof-of-work, CPU only minable crypto project based on Monero that does not support mining pools. It was created in 2018 and abandoned by its creator in 2021. It has been community managed ever since without any funds for development, marketing or anything else.


So what have we accomplished in 2024?


We built a brand new wallet and CPU miner called NervaOne. It’s a multi-coin, non-custodial desktop wallet that currently supports Nerva, Monero, Wownero and Dash. There were plans to also make it a mobile wallet but those are on hold due to higher priorities.


We released a new version of Nerva’s core software. It included build fixes and some other improvements to make it more stable. That’s a first release in over 2.5 years.


Recently, we also started testing brand new custodial web wallet called NerVault. It’s a good solution for people who do not want to set up full node.


Nerva was also added to TipBot, discord bot used for crypto tipping. We were added to DogeCash Exchange and we started a Telegram group.


Finally, we started grinding on X to get Nerva in front of new people and to build our community.


Oh, we also adopted Official Mascot of Nerva meme coin that crypto degens created on PumpDotFun and quickly abandoned. It’s part of Nerva family now and it has its own page:

What will 2025 bring? Nobody knows for sure but we will keep building, grinding and growing our community.

Nerva Legacy Reborn

Nerva – Legacy Reborn

A few days ago, we released a new version of our core software called Legacy Reborn (v0.2.0.0). It has been over 2.5 years since last release.

Among other changes, this release updates our codebase to use latest dependencies, fixes many build issues and makes changes to improve node connection stability. Full list of changes can be found in release notes on GitHub: https://github.com/nerva-project/nerva/releases/tag/v0.2.0.0

This is not a hard fork so update is not required. It is recommended to upgrade though, as it should improve your connection to Nerva’s network.

Special thanks to Sn1F3rt and ngeojiajun who are first time contributors to nerva project and who helped make this release possible.

Download links on nerva.one website have been updated to use the latest version. The software can also be downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/nerva-project/nerva/releases/tag/v0.2.0.0

Nerva Wallet and Miner, New vs Old

NervaOne Desktop

Over the last several months, new open-source, non-custodial, multi-coin GUI has been developed from scratch by Nerva team. It’s called NervaOne Desktop and it replaces Nerva’s old GUI wallet and miner.

Not only is NervaOne wallet and miner for Nerva, but it currently also supports 3 other cryptocurrencies: $XMR $WOW and $DASH. More crypto projects can be added in the future, if there is interest.

NervaOne Desktop is a non-custodial solution so it uses client tools (or daemon) that runs on your own computer. This way, you do not need to trust anybody else to use wallet functionality.

In the next few weeks, work on phase 2 will begin. We will build on top of NervaOne Desktop and create NervaOne Mobile that will provide crypto wallet functionality on mobile devices. NervaOne Mobile will use your own NervaOne Desktop as an interface to provide wallet functionality. This way, not only are you not trusting any 3rd party, NervaOne Mobile does not need to store any sensitive info on your mobile device.

If you care about your crypto privacy and want to support crypto projects by running your own node, helping to decentralize them, it does not get any better than NervaOne!

NervaOne Desktop can be downloaded from GitHub:

Nerva premine block

Nerva Blockchain Is 6 Years Old!

Today on May 1st, Nerva blockchain turned 6 years old. The screenshot shows premine block that was minted on May 1, 2018. This was the beginning.

We’ve had our ups and downs, people left and people joined but we’re still here, still mining and still trying to make a positive impact on crypto space.

Things might not be moving as fast as some people would like but things are moving forward. That’s the thing with community run crypto project. Nobody is getting paid for putting in their time so the only things that get done are what the community members are willing to do in their spare time.

Hopefully, good times are still ahead.

Cheers to everybody who’s still here and supporting Nerva project in whatever way they can!
