Send and receive messages through the Nym Mixnet directly in your browser. This demo creates a Mixnet client, connects to the network, and lets you send a message to yourself (or any Nym address) to see the full round-trip.

**Try it:** Click Connect, wait for the client to initialize, then send a message. You'll see it arrive back through the Mixnet after traversing 5 hops.

<Callout type="info">
    Open your browser's console to see the connection and send/receive logging for this example.
</Callout>

## How this works

The component creates a `NymMixnetClient`, subscribes to incoming messages via event listeners, and uses `client.send()` to dispatch messages through the Mixnet. When sending to your own address, the message travels through the full 5-hop route (Entry Gateway → 3 Mix Nodes → Exit Gateway) before arriving back at your client.
