Welcome back, Campers! Week 2 of Camp Nexus has officially wrapped up, and what an incredible week it's been. Week 2 was all about bringing friends into the Nexus ecosystem, with the goal of bringing together our growing community in ways that truly embody the spirit of what we're building.
Merit Badge Challenge: the Tagger Badge
- Reply to this tweet with, "Join me at Camp Nexus!" - @ a friend you want to bring to camp with you - Include your Nexus OS Wallet address
Our Merit Badge Challenge centered around bringing friends into the Nexus ecosystem through the Tagger Badge.
Of course, if you stuck around the entire week, you were there to see our hidden challenge unveiled: joining our Discord community. New Discord members who completed verification earned 2,000 NEX Testnet III points.
Technical Deep Dive: Building on Nexus
Mid-week brought us an exceptional Wayfinder Wednesday event. Joseph Zhang from our technical team delivered a masterclass in building on Nexus, taking viewers through a complete end-to-end NFT application build. This wasn't just theoretical - it was a hands-on blueprint showing exactly how to go from zero to deployed on the Nexus platform.
The live coding session demonstrated the power and accessibility of building on Nexus, with real-time development that showcased our platform's capabilities. For those who missed it, the full session remains available and serves as an excellent resource for developers looking to get started.
Merit Badges & Hidden Achievements
Revealed Hidden Badges
We're excited to reveal two hidden badges that were earned during Week 2's activities:
Tagnetic Badge - Awarded to campers who tagged 3-4 friends in the initial Merit Badge Challenge post. These community builders understood that growth happens through personal connections.
Tagnificent Badge - Reserved for our most enthusiastic inviters who tagged 5+ friends in their entries. These campers truly embraced the "inviting friends to camp" spirit and went above and beyond.
Looking Ahead: Week 3 Content Creation
