Gridcrew Assembly is live. Choose your team. Contribute together. Win rewards.
Node Running started as individual contribution. You secured Glyphs. You completed quests. You built reputation.
But the Hexgrid's true power emerges through coordinated action. Gridcrews transform scattered operators into unified forces. This is about finding Runners who think like you, who value what you value, who show up when you show up.
The question is: which crew is yours?
Every Node Runner can join a Gridcrew. Pick one of three teams—SYN, ACK, or FIN—and compete together for 10 days. Your choice locks you in. No switching. No second chances.
Gridcrew: Season 1 Duration: October 16-31 (15 days) Location:gridcrew.nexus.xyz Quest Hub:quest.nexus.xyz October 16-31: The first Gridcrew season. Here's what happens:
1. Choose Your Crew
Visitgridcrew.nexus.xyz and select SYN, ACK, or FIN. One wallet, one crew, locked for the season. Your crew affiliation displays as flair on the Nexus OS leaderboard. You can also find a team Discord channel on the Nexus Discord.
The main gameplay effects of your team choice are the runners on your team and possible team-specific quests.
The Gridcrews each have unique lore, values, and iconography. Which speaks most to you? Learn more about the Gridcrews below.
2. Complete Crew Quests
New team-specific quests launch throughout the season at quest.nexus.xyz:
Compute Challenges: Contribute proving cycles for your crew
Social Missions: Amplify your team's presence across the network
Coordination Tasks: Build your crew's reputation through collective action
Daily points flow to your Snag account. Crew-specific badges unlock as you complete missions.
3. Compete as a Team
Victory isn't about crew size—it's about percentage of active provers. The team with the highest activity rate wins. Quality over quantity. Dedication over numbers.
Every day you prove counts toward your crew's performance. Show up, and you strengthen everyone who has joined your crew.
4. Win Collective Rewards
All crews earn rewards based on final placement:
Daily: Points for quest completion and proving activity
Season End: Exclusive badges and NFTs to top-performing crews
Bonus: Additional rewards for individual achievement within your crew
Your crew's success is your success.
Meet the Crews. Three Teams. Three Philosophies.
Every network connection has a rhythm: it begins, stabilizes, and ends. The Crews of Grid embody these fundamental acts—SYN, ACK, and FIN. To join a crew is to choose how you believe the network should evolve: Start it. Sustain it. Set it free.
SYN — The Connectors
Start. Iterate. Ignite.
The pulse that starts everything. Inventors and explorers who move fast and build fearlessly. Values: More runners. More nodes. Going fast.
ACK — The Sustainers
Acknowledge. Continue. Endure.
The keeper of order. Builders who value discipline and verification, seeking perfection through consistent uptime. Values: Uptime. Correctness. Reputation.
FIN — Leave No Trace
End well. Leave clean. Vanish.
The art of leaving no trace. Operators who prove without permission and refuse to be captured. Values: Autonomy. Decentralization.
Which philosophy represents who you are as a Runner?
