Mix nodes are the backbone of the mixnet. These are the nodes that perform 'mix mining', otherwise known simply as 'mixing'.
Mix nodes, after receiving a packet, decrypt its outer 'layer', and hold them for a variable amount of time before passing them to their next destination - either another mix node, or a gateway. In doing so, they 'mix' packets by sending them to their next destination in a different order than they were received.

Mix nodes are rewarded according to their quality of service, and their inclusion in the active set (i.e. the nodes that mix traffic for the next epoch) affected by this (as well as their delegation-based reputation - see [further reading](#further-reading) for more on this).

# Validators
> The validator setup and maintenance guide has moved to the [Operator Guides book](https://nymtech.net/operators/nodes/validator-setup.html).
> We are currently working towards building up a closed set of reputable validators. You can ask us for coins to get in, but please don't be offended if we say no - validators are part of our system's core security and we are starting out with people we already know or who have a solid reputation.
Validators secure the Nyx blockchain via Proof of Stake consensus. The Nyx blockchain records the ledger of NYM transactions and executes the smart contracts for distributing NYM rewards. The Nyx validators are run via the `nyxd` binary ([codebase](https://github.com/nymtech/nyxd)), maintaining a CosmWasm- and IBC-enabled blockchain.

The blockchain plays a supporting but fundamental role in the mixnet: the `NYM` token used to incentivise node operators is one of two native tokens of the chain, and the chain is where the [Mixnet](../nyx/mixnet-contract.md) and [Vesting](../nyx/vesting-contract.md) smart contracts are deployed.
