 ## The Nym Privacy Platform
 
-This repository contains the full Nym platform.
+This repository contains the Nym mixnet.
 
 The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
 
 * nym-mixnode - shuffles [Sphinx](https://github.com/nymtech/sphinx) packets together to provide privacy against network-level attackers.
 * nym-client - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
 * nym-sfw-provider - a store-and-forward service provider. The provider acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages.
-* nym-validator - currently just starting development. Handles consensus ordering of transactions, mixmining, and coconut credential generation and validation.
