Nexus Testnet-III Airdrop Guide💎Browser Prover, CLI Node & Points

Farm Nexus Points: NFTs, Holesky Faucet & Node Multipliers

Nexus — a zkVM‑powered, modular L1 for verifiable compute — has kicked off Testnet III, the last chance to rack up Nexus Points before mainnet in Q3 2025. Every web‑prover session, CLI node cycle, NFT mint and on‑chain transaction feeds your points tally, which the team confirms will map 1‑for‑1 into $NEX at TGE.

Quick flow (15‑min starter pack)

  1. Open the Nexus Testnet dashboard and connect an EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby).

  2. Choose a farming mode:
    • Nexus web prover — one‑click browser tab; leave it running for passive points.
    • Nexus CLI node scripts — Docker/bash install; earns 2‑3× points vs. browser.
    • Mintair cloud prover — pay $0.20 ⁄ day to outsource compute (optional).

  3. (Bonus) Mint the Testnet‑III NFT on the Nexus mint page for a flat +500 pts.

  4. Need Holesky ETH? Grab 0.2 from the Nexus faucet, then send one tx to activate tracking.

  5. Monitor your rank, multipliers and Discord role boosts on the dashboard; roles snapshot every Monday 00:00 UTC.

Need‑to‑know facts

  • Campaign window: launched 23 Jun 2025 → runs until mainnet (Q3 2025). No fixed snapshot; rolling point freezes every two weeks.

  • Conversion hint: early phases saw ~1 NEX per point; formula not final.

  • Loyalty bonus: Phase‑I & II wallets auto‑get +10 % on accumulated points.

  • Resource cost: browser prover ≈ 15 % CPU/0.5 GB RAM; CLI node uses up to 1 GB RAM/20 % CPU.

  • Risk profile: zero capital needed; claim only requires ETH gas post‑TGE.
