Camp Nexus Recap: Week 5

It was a big week for Merit Badge chasers, as we had the Campfire and People’s Champ Challenges hit during the week, allowing participants to earn up to 15,000 NEX Testnet III Points.

Campfires at Nexus are a little different than your typical campfire, ours are big and blue, and you can see them on a global map. Check out the thread below to see all of the Nexus campfires around the globe.

Campfire Friday and why we contribute

Finally, to round out the week, we brought CEO Daniel Marin out to tell you about the compute that you are contributing, what it does, and why that matters.

Looking ahead to Week 6: Smooth Sailing Badge

In Week 6, we’re excited for the opportunity to lay back and chill. Camp has been jam-packed full of activities. So, we want to just enjoy our time with some rest and relaxation.

Turn on your node, start proving, sit back, and watch the points come in. Look for the Monday Merit Badge Challenge on X (Twitter) to learn how you can earn rewards for this week.

Also, we’ll be introducing a new questing platform called Snag on Tuesday. We’ll tell you more about it then, but get excited for more quests, and more ways to earn rewards.
