Camp Nexus Recap: Week 4

The Orienteering Badge was up for grabs last week, and all Camp Nexus participants had to do to earn 10,000 Testnet III Points was share a how-to guide. Building a planetary supercomputer means we need as many people proving as possible. The bigger the prover network, the more planetary the computer becomes. Helping people get started is just the beginning of their journey.

Community members shared all types of guides, including several about our new Leaderboard, which will feature heavily in this week's Monday Merit Badge Challenge.

Read more about the Leaderboard here. Keep track of your rank, and work your way up through the leagues—Diamond is within reach!

Climb the Ranks: The Nexus Leaderboard is Live

Wayfinding Wednesday and Hidden Badges

Several hidden badges have gone unrevealed during Camp Nexus, so we are working on ways to make those easier to achieve. Plans are underway, so don't worry—you'll have a chance to win badges like Viral Scout and Meme Master in the upcoming weeks.

Campfire Friday and Meeting Yurii, Nexus Community Ambassador

Nexus Community Ambassadors are highly engaged contributors who support the Nexus community. Like Nexus itself, they also represent their local communities in the web3 space.

In these spotlights, we ask them questions about those communities. A planetary supercomputer is not just a cool marketing tagline—it's an authentic descriptor of what Nexus is and can become.

Meet Yurii:

Ukraine’s Web3 community is hungry for infrastructure that can help us build and scale without relying on centralized bottlenecks. We have great talent here — developers, creatives, entrepreneurs — but often the lack of reliable, affordable computing power and verifiable data access limits what people can create.

Nexus changes that. By decentralizing compute and enabling verifiable AI, it gives Ukrainian builders access to world-class resources without needing massive capital or relying on Web2 giants. Think of AI startups, DeFi protocols, or even education-focused dApps here in Ukraine; they can all benefit from a scalable, low-trust infrastructure. - Yurii
