In brief
- NEXUS opened NEXUS AI Labs on Aug. 19, a portal collecting 11 AI solutions the company developed in-house.
- The lineup includes wasd, a text-to-game engine that turns a written prompt into a playable game in about 60 seconds and accepts follow-up edits typed into chat.
- Every product on the portal was built with the NEXUS AI Framework, the company’s autonomous development platform, which runs 33 AI agents and 39 specialized development functions.
NEXUS put wasd, a text-to-game engine, live on NEXUS AI Labs, the portal it opened Aug. 19 to gather 11 AI solutions built in-house.
Type a prompt such as “drone racing through a neon city” and wasd returns a playable game roughly 60 seconds later, controlled with the arrow keys, the company said. Edits happen in chat. Tell it to “make the enemies faster” and it applies the change on the spot. Finished games are shared with a single link.
Type "drone racing through a neon city." Sixty seconds later you're playing it with the arrow keys.

The rest of the lineup
wasd sits alongside RED STUDIO, an AI video studio, and StoryMaker, a creative studio. NEXUS grouped the 11 tools into three buckets: content creation, workflow automation and blockchain integration.
On the content side there’s Text to 3D, a real-time engine the company said generates a 3D model in about a minute; AIVE, for game advertising trailers; and PerfectPixel, which produces pixel art from a single line of text.
The automation tools are Kiroro, a marketing platform NEXUS said runs autonomously around the clock; Bob, which summarizes meeting notes; and ImageToApp, which turns an idea into a working app.
The blockchain entry
ONEchain Skills handles the blockchain category, operating blockchain services through natural-language commands alone. It was previously called CROSS Skills. In June it passed every item in an AI Skill security scan run by CertiK, which NEXUS described as the world’s largest Web3 security services provider and which also sits in the network’s validator set.
Built by the framework, not by hand
NEXUS said all 11 products came out of the NEXUS AI Framework, its proprietary autonomous development platform. A user supplies a goal and the AI carries out planning, design, development and validation on its own to produce a finished product. The company said the products were created without a person writing a single line of code.
The framework is made up of 33 AI agents with distinct roles that work together, plus 39 specialized development functions.
NEXUS framed the portal as evidence that its research turns into products people can actually use rather than stopping at papers or demos.
Background
The AI Labs launch lands in the middle of a busy stretch for the company. CROSS was renamed ONEchain and $CROSS CROSS $0.1321 ▼ -9.4% became $ONE, with $ONEUSD designated the ecosystem's common unit. ONEUSD works as the medium of exchange and ONE as the store of value. There was no migration and no new asset, and the validator set and supply were unchanged. The project’s X handle moved from @CROSS_gamechain to @ONE_gamechain.
That rebrand followed the roughly 62.6 billion won, or about $40.74 million, acquisition of an 89.03% stake in One Store, the Korean app marketplace that ships on more than 38 million devices. One Store joined as the network’s third validator July 15 on CROSS Mainnet 2.0, alongside H Lab and CertiK.
On Aug. 7, ONEstore rolled out AI Games, a storefront section reserved for titles made with AI tools. It opened with 20 games, including Ragnarok Breaker and Heros Unite. NEXUS plans to launch global ONEstore in 124 countries simultaneously from a single build.
ONEwallet+ passed 2.18 million cumulative users as of July. NEXUS has also signed an agreement with won-pegged stablecoin KRWQ, and the two are reviewing trading pairs that would let KRWQ be exchanged for $ONEUSD or $ONE inside ONEchain. The company reported first-half revenue of 17.4 billion won and net income of 5 billion won, figures that reflect the One Store acquisition.
“One of the keys to the age of AI transformation is how quickly technological research can be proven as deployable products,” NEXUS CEO Henry Chang said. Chang said the company is building products “at the speed of thought” through AI and plans to expand the capability across its blockchain platform business.
