  • TrueFi shield mining campaign is live. The campaign will run until 1,600,000 TRU tokens have been rewarded to NXM stakers on the TrueFi contract.

  • You can now follow the announcements channel in Discord to get notifications when we publish an announcement.

  • We’ve noted an increase in scammers recently. We’ve increased the server settings on Discord and are implementing a human verification system. There are also scammers around on Telegram so we’re reminding our community to be vigilant and remember that team members never DM first and never ask for money. All team members are tagged as ‘team’ in Discord and are admins on the Telegram group. If in doubt please double check.

  • Hugh was on Yield TV with DeFi Dad yesterday talking about Custody Cover and scaling Nexus.
