[**Nexus is actively running Testnet III**](https://redirect-o1126.pages.dev/), with points-based rewards now live. Users earn **NEX Testnet Points** by running nodes, minting NFTs, bridging test tokens, and contributing on-chain. These points convert to real $NEX tokens at mainnet launch (expected Q3 2025) based on contribution level.

### ✅ How to Earn NEX Points Now

Follow only article-listed steps:

1.  Connect your EVM wallet on [**the official Nexus dashboard**](https://redirect-o1126.pages.dev/) — this starts tracking.
    
2.  **Run a node**:
    
    *   Use one-click browser prover (tab open)
        
    *   Or set up CLI or hosted node for more uptime and points
        
3.  **Mint a testnet NFT**, then execute send/transfer transactions on-chain
    
4.  **Bridge assets** via supported networks like Arbitrum Sepolia
    
5.  **Join Discord social missions** and complete community tasks for bonus points
    
6.  **Contents & roles** earn extra points: posting, tutorials, local Discord support, memes, meetups
    

Points update live and are tied to your wallet. There’s no reset—everything is cumulative.
