# Nexus Layer 1 Testnet III

This page covers Nexus Layer 1 Testnet, the current testing environment for the Nexus Network.

### Testnet III Overview

**Testnet III is now live** and represents the current phase of Nexus testing. This testnet focuses on security, decentralization, and orchestration testing.

### How Testnet III Works

In Testnet III, users earn **NEX Testnet III Points** by proving via Nexus OS or CLI and then **claim** them to convert them into **NEX Testnet III Tokens**.

#### Proving via Nexus OS or CLI

Because Testnet III is a new environment, you will start with 0 Testnet III Points and earn them through proving.
