How it works
Press Next. Find something great. Share what you love.
NexURLs is a button that takes you somewhere new on the internet, picked by real people. Here is everything it does, in one place.
Exploring
Every press shows you a site someone shared and thought was worth your time. On a computer, the space bar works too.
Swipe the card left for the next one, or right to like it.
Trending, Fresh, Most loved, Rabbit hole, Deeper, Old Web and Surprise me each pick links a different way. Deeper finds links closest in meaning to the one you are on. Surprise me learns from what you like, save, visit and react to, and shows you more of it, mixed with fresh finds so you never get stuck in a bubble. Topics narrow it down.
Five great links, the same for everyone, new every midnight. Finish them every day to build a streak, listen to a one minute audio briefing, then take a quick quiz on them for 5 XP per right answer.
Big cards show a short summary of what is on the page, so you know what you are getting before you visit.
On My Galaxy, reveal what the links you like, save and share say about you, as a card you can share.
Short videos of members reacting to links. Swipe up for the next one, double tap to like, and tap Visit site to see the link for yourself.
On any link, tap the … menu or Record a reaction, film up to 60 seconds or upload a clip, and post. It plays on the card, in Reels and in the community feed, and every like pays you a NexCredit. Captions are added on their own a few minutes after it goes live.
The buttons on every card
XP and levels
XP is your explorer level, the ring next to your credits. It is never spent. It fills up as you take part:
| Exploring a link | +1 XP up to 150 a day |
| Liking / saving someone’s link | +2 / +3 XP |
| Commenting | +3 XP |
| Visiting a link for the first time | +2 XP once per link |
| Sharing a link | +20 XP |
| Posting / liking / commenting in the community | +5 / +1 / +3 XP |
| Someone likes / saves your link | +3 / +5 XP |
| Finishing the Daily 5 | +10 XP |
| Daily quiz | +5 XP per right answer |
| A new badge | +50 XP |
Liking, saving, commenting, posting and visiting share a limit of 60 XP a day.
Every level up pays NexCredits: 5 times the new level, so level 4 pays 20.
- 1Rookie0 XP
- 2Wanderer50 XP
- 3Explorer150 XP
- 4Navigator400 XP
- 5Voyager900 XP

- 7Trailblazer3,500 XP

Every link you explore also becomes a star in your galaxy, a map of everywhere you have been that you can share.
NexCredits
NexCredits are the coins of NexURLs. You spend them to promote your own links: a promoted link shows up in other people’s Next. Links people like and save cost less per view, so good finds go further.
| Welcome bonus when you join | +25 |
| Someone likes a link you shared | +2 |
| Someone saves a link you shared | +3 |
| Exploring 10 links in a day | +5 once a day |
| Adding a next stop to a rabbit hole | +1 up to 10 a day |
| Finishing the Daily 5 | +3 |
| Earning a badge | +5 |
| Leveling up | +5 × your new level |
| A visitor through your webring badge | +1 up to 30 a day |
| Someone likes / comments on / reposts your community post | +1 / +1 / +2 once per person per post, up to 15 a day |
Streak bonuses for the Daily 5: 3 days: +5 · 7 days: +15 · 14 days: +25 · 30 days: +60 · 60 days: +100 · 100 days: +200 · 365 days: +500
Liking your own links never pays. You can also buy credit packs or go Pro for monthly credits, from your dashboard.
Fair play
- Likes and saves only pay the sharer when they come from real explorers: accounts at least 3 days old that have explored 25 links, and one person can pay any one sharer at most 5 times a day.
- Clicking Visit never pays credits, so promoted links only pay for real views.
- Links are checked before they go live, and adult and scam links are kept out of the main rotation.
- “Not for me” is private. When lots of people pass on a link and few like it, it quietly leaves Next for everyone.
