## What it is
Nexus CLI is a Rust-based command-line tool for registering nodes and contributing zero-knowledge proofs to the Nexus verifiable computation network. It supports interactive and headless modes for participating in the network's testnets and devnet.

## Use cases
- contribute compute proofs to the nexus network from the command line
- register a wallet address and node id for nexus testnet
- run a headless prover node in CI or on a server
- participate in nexus testnet iii proving rewards

## When to choose
- you want to supply proofs to the Nexus network via CLI
- you need a headless/non-interactive prover for automation
- you prefer a precompiled binary quick install

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI wallet or dashboard experience instead
- you want to develop zk circuits rather than run a prover node
- you need production mainnet proving before it is supported

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cryptography, cli, networking
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: windows, rust, cli
- tags: zero-knowledge-proofs, prover-network, verifiable-computation, blockchain-node, rust, cryptocurrency, command-line, linux, macos
