 The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
 
-* client - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
-* mixnode - the mixnode crate.
+* 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.
 * sfw-provider - a store-and-forward service provider. The provider acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages.
 * validator - currently just starting development. Handles consensus ordering of transactions, mixmining, and coconut credential generation and validation.
