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_**](https://redirect-o1126.pages.dev/) 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_**](https://redirect-o1126.pages.dev/) for a flat **+500 pts**.
    
4.  Need Holesky ETH? Grab 0.2 from the [**_Nexus faucet_**](https://redirect-o1126.pages.dev/), 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.
