Nexus has entered the third phase of its rewarded testnet and grants points for operating nodes on the network.

The project develops technologies for secure, verifiable online computing with emphasis on protecting users' digital identity and data integrity.

Context and recent precedent

Earlier coverage examined a profitable case of maintaining a Gensyn node, which motivated continued attention to actively rewarded node opportunities.

Participation in early stages of similar testnets historically delivered the largest upside for contributors and validators in comparable ecosystems.

Required steps to run a node

To participate, register on the project website, connect a compatible wallet and complete the account verification procedure if required by the interface.

• Open the Nodes section in the project dashboard and select the option to add a new node instance.
• Click Add CLI node, generate the node code and securely save the resulting identifier and credentials.
• Provision a server or container according to the project's documentation and deploy the node using the provided CLI instructions.

Managed alternative and operational notes

For participants who prefer not to operate infrastructure, the project supports a managed service named Nodes+ that handles technical maintenance on behalf of users.

Using a managed option simplifies involvement while the testnet is active and ensures continued eligibility for awarded points without local administration.

Security and best practices

Operators should follow the official security guidelines, maintain up-to-date software and restrict access to node keys to prevent unauthorized control.

Keep backups of configuration and node identifiers in secure storage to avoid loss of accrued points due to accidental data loss.
