 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-socks5-client - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine and use with existing applications.
-* nym-gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, which removes the need for direct delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices.
-* nym-network-monitor - sends packets through the full system to check that they are working as expected, and stores node uptime histories as the basis of a rewards system ("mixmining" or "proof-of-mixing").
-* nym-explorer - a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.
-* nym-wallet - a desktop wallet implemented using the [Tauri](https://tauri.studio/en/docs/about/intro) framework.
+* `nym-node` - a tool for running a node within the Nym network. Nym Nodes containing functionality such as `mixnode`, `entry-gateway` and `exit-gateway` are fundamental components of Nym Mixnet architecture. Nym Nodes are ran by decentralised node operators. Read more about `nym-node` in [Operators Guide documentation](https://nymtech.net/operators/nodes/nym-node.html). Network functionality of `nym-node` (labeled with `--mode` flag) can be:
+	- `mixnode` - shuffles [Sphinx](https://github.com/nymtech/sphinx) packets together to provide privacy against network-level attackers.
+	- `gateway` - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, which removes the need for direct delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices. Gateways can be further categorized as `entry-gateway` and `exit-gateway`. The latter has an extra embedded IP packet router and Network requester to route data to the internet.
+* `nym-client` - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
+* `nym-socks5-client` - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine and use with existing applications.

 ### Developing

-There's a `.env.sample-dev` file provided which you can rename to `.env` if you want convenient logging, backtrace, or other environment variables pre-set. The `.env` file is ignored so you don't need to worry about checking it in.
+There's a [`sandbox.env`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/envs/sandbox.env) file provided which you can rename to `.env` if you want convenient testing environment. Read more about sandbox environment in our [Operators Guide page](https://nymtech.net/operators/sandbox.html).

-### Rewards
+### Tokenomics & Rewards

-Node, node operator and delegator rewards are determined according to the principles laid out in the section 6 of [Nym Whitepaper](https://nymtech.net/nym-whitepaper.pdf). Below is a TLDR of the variables and formulas involved in calculating the epoch rewards. Initial reward pool is set to 250 million Nym, making the circulating supply 750 million Nym.

+### Features
+
+- [Make embedded NR/IPR ignore performance of the Gateway](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4671): fixes bug in relation to scoring issue on nym-nodes operating as exit gateways failing to come online.
+- [Introduce a flag to accept Operators Terms and Conditions and exposed it via self-described API](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4647)
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- Verify that the `execute` function correctly checks if the `accept_operator_terms` flag is set.
+- Test that a warning is displayed when the `accept_operator_terms` flag is not set.
+- Confirm that the `NymNode` instance is initialized with `with_accepted_toc(accepted_toc)` when the flag is set.
+- Apply the `--accept-toc` flag in the service and confirmed the change by running:
+```
+curl -s -X 'GET' 'http://18.171.251.41:8080/api/v1/auxiliary-details?output=json' -H 'accept: application/json' | jq .accepted_toc
+```
+- Verify that the output is `true`.
+~~~
+
+- [Rename 'accept-toc' flag and fields into explicit 'accept-operator-terms-and-conditions'](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4654): makes the `accept-toc` flag more explicit.
+- [Validate nym-node public ips on startup](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4630): makes sure `nym-node` is not run with an empty `public_ips` and that they do not correspond to common misconfigurations like `127.0.0.1` or `0.0.0.0` unless run with `--local` flag.
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- Use the latest release/chomp binary with nym-node and input a dodgy ip
+<img width="361" alt="image" src="https://github.com/nymtech/nym/assets/60836166/6f2210f9-90ec-48fb-932f-f325c701de09">

+When restarting the node it complains within the service launch file
+~~~
+
+- [New node endpoints](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4635): introduces new endpoints on nym-api (and creates scaffolding for additional ones) for providing **unfiltered** network topology alongside performance score of all nodes.
+    - `NymApiTopologyProvider` got modified to use those endpoints alongside (configurable) filtering of nodes with score < 50% (like our current blacklist)
+    - Old clients should work as before as no existing endpoint got removed
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- Validate that the `skimmed` endpoints are working, keeping in mind that they are unstable. The *full-fat* and *semi-skimmed* have not yet been implemented.
+~~~
+
+- [Remove stale peers](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4640)
+- [Removed ephemera code](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4642)
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- Check references to everything named SP and Ephemera and removed any additional references
+~~~
+
+- [Remove additional code as part of Ephemera Purge and SP and contracts](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4650): in line with [#4642](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4642) and [#4603](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4603)

 The most crucial aspect of running the node is specifying the `--mode`, which can be one of three: `mixnode`, `entry-gateway`, and `exit-gateway`.

-Currently `nym-node` binary enables to run only one `--mode` at a time. In the future the operators will be able to specify multiple modes within one `nym-node`. Our goal is to have as many nodes each running all the available modes enabled and let the Nym API to position the node acoording the network needs in the beginning of each epoch.
+Currently the `nym-node` binary can only be run in a single `--mode` at any one time. In the future however, operators will be able to specify multiple modes that a single `nym-node` binary can run. Our goal is to have as many nodes as possible enabling multiple modes, and allow the Nym API to position the node according the network's needs in the beginning of each epoch.

 Every `exit-gateway` mode is basically an `entry-gateway` with NR (Network Requester) and IPR (IP Packet Router) enabled. This means that every `exit-gateway` is automatically seen as an `entry-gateway` but not the opposite.

 Gateway operators can check out the node performance, connectivity and much more in our new tool [harbourmaster.nymtech.net](https://harbourmaster.nymtech.net/).

 To determine which mode your node is running, you can check the `:8080/api/v1/roles` endpoint. For example:
-```
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
 # for http
-http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/roles
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/roles
+# or
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/v1/roles

-# for https reversed proxy
-https://<DOMAIN>/api/v1/roles
+# for reversed proxy/WSS
+https://<NODE_DOMAIN>/api/v1/roles
 ```

 Everything necessary will exist on your node by default. For instance, if you're running a mixnode, you'll find that a NR (Network Requester) and IPR (IP Packet Router) address exist, but they will be ignored in `mixnode` mode.

 For more information about available endpoints and their status, you can refer to:

+```
+
+There has been a long ongoing discussion whether and how to apply Terms and Conditions for Nym network operators, with an aim to stay aligned with the philosophy of Free Software and provide legal defense for both node operators and Nym developers. To understand better the reasoning behind this decision, you can listen to the first [Nym Operator Town Hall](https://www.youtube.com/live/7hwb8bAZIuc?si=3mQ2ed7AyUA1SsCp&t=915) introducing the T&Cs or to [Operator AMA with CEO Harry Halpin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIN-zYQw0I0) from June 4th, 2024, explaining pros and cons of T&Cs implementation.
+
+Accepting T&Cs is done via an explicit flag `--accept-operator-terms-and-conditions` added to `nym-node run` command.
+
+To check whether any node has T&Cs accepted or not can be done by querying Swagger API endpoint `/auxiliary_details` via one of these ports (depending on node setup):

+# Release Cycle
+
+The Nym operator community is growing in quality and quantity. With node operators and developers joining the effort to make the Mixnet more robust and scalable, testing new features, sharing integration pull requests and generally taking an active part in Nym development, more transparency on the release cycle is required.
+
+The core team therefore established a flow with different environments:
+
+- ***local***: Developers use their local environments for feature building
+- ***canary***: Nym internal testing environment managed by Qualty Assurance team (QA)
+- [***sandbox***](sandbox.md): Public testnet, including testnet NYM token available in the [faucet](sandbox.md#sandbox-token-faucet)
+- ***mainnet***: Nym Mixnet - the production version of Nym network
+
+## Release Flow
+
+Frequency of releases to mainnet is aimed to be every ~14 days. This time window is an optimal compromise between periodicity and quality assurance/testing, key factors playing an essential role in development.
+
+| **Stage**                                 | **Environment** | **Branch**                 | **Ownership** |

+# Sandbox Testnet
+
+Nym node operators can run their nodes in Nym Sandbox testnet environment. Whether it's testing new configuration, hot features from Nym developers or just trying to setup a node for the first time, this environment is for you.
+
+Below are steps to [setup your environment](#sandbox-environment-setup) and an introduction to [Sandbox token faucet](#sandbox-token-faucet).
+
+```admonish warning title=""
+This page is for Nym node operators. If you want to run NymVPN CLI over Sandbox testnet, visit our [developers portal](https://nymtech.net/developers/nymvpn/cli.html#testnet-environment).
+```
+
+## Sandbox Environment Setup
+
+> Any syntax in `<>` brackets is a user's unique variable. Exchange with a corresponding name without the `<>` brackets.
+
+To run Nym binaries in Sandbox testnet, you need to get `sandbox.env` configuration file and point your binary to it. Follow the steps below:
+
+1. Create Sandbox environment config file by saving [this](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env) as `sandbox.env` in the same directory as your binaries:
+```sh
+curl -o sandbox.env -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env
+
+# In case you want to save the file elswhere, change the path in '-o' flag
+```
+
+2. Run your `nym-node` with an additional flag `-c` or `--config-env-file` with a path to `sandbox.env` file followed by all needed commands and options. For example:
+```sh
+# this example is for nym-node in mixnode mode
+./nym-node --config-env-file <PATH/TO/>sandbox.env run --mode mixnode
+
+# this example is for nym-node in exit-gateway mode
+./nym-node --config-file-env <PATH/TO/>sandbox.env run --mode exit-gateway --id <ID> --public-ips "$(curl -4 https://ifconfig.me)" --hostname "<YOUR_DOMAIN>" --http-bind-address 0.0.0.0:8080 --mixnet-bind-address 0.0.0.0:1789 true --location <COUNTRY_FULL_NAME>
+
+# In case you downloaded sandbox.env to the same directory, <PATH> is not needed
+```
+
+3. Bond your node to Nym Sandbox environment:
+	- Open [Nym Wallet](https://nymtech.net/download/wallet) and switch to testnet
+	- Go to [faucet.nymtech.net](https://faucet.nymtech.net) and aquire 101 testnet NYM tokens
+	- Follow the steps on the [bonding page](nodes/bonding.md)
+
+![](images/sandbox.png)
+
+~~~admonish tip
+1. If you [built Nym from source](building-nym.md), you already have `sandbox.env` as a part of the monorepo (`nym/envs/sandbox.env`). Giving that you are likely to run `nym-node` from `nym/target/release`, the flag will look like this `--config-env-file ../../envs/sandbox.env`
+
+2. You can export the path to `sandbox.env` to your enviromental variables:
+```sh
+export NYMNODE_CONFIG_ENV_FILE_ARG=<PATH/TO/sandbox.env>
+```
+~~~
+
+## Sandbox Token Faucet
+
+To run your nodes in Sandbox environment, you need testnet version of NYM token, that can be aquired from [faucet.nymtech.net](https://faucet.nymtech.net).
+
+To prevent abuse, the faucet is rate-limited - your request will fail if the requesting wallet already has 101 NYM tokens.

+# Node API Check
+
+> Any syntax in `<>` brackets is a user's unique variable/version. Exchange with a corresponding name without the `<>` brackets.
+
+Operating a `nym-node` is not a *"set and forget"* endeavor, it takes some work. To diagnose node performance querying APIs is a good knowledge to have. There are two main places to look for API endpoints regarding `nym-node`:
+
+- [`openapi.json`](https://validator.nymtech.net/api/v1/openapi.json): a list of all endpoints
+- [Swagger UI page](https://validator.nymtech.net/api/swagger/index.html)
+
+Besides that, Gateway operators can check out their node performance, connectivity and much more on [harbourmaster.nymtech.net](https://harbourmaster.nymtech.net/).
+
+### Basic API usage
+
+For information about available endpoints and their status, you can refer to:
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
+# for http
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/swagger/#/
+# or
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/v1/swagger/#/
+
+# for reversed proxy/WSS
+https://<NODE_DOMAIN>/api/v1/swagger/#/
+```
+
+For example to determine which mode your node is running, you can check `:8080/api/v1/roles` endpoint:
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
+# for http
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/roles
+# or
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/v1/roles
+
+# for reversed proxy/WSS
+https://<NODE_DOMAIN>/api/v1/roles
+```
+
+## `node_api_check.py`
+
+To make this a bit easier, we made a CLI tool querying all available API endpoints based on node `Identity Key` (further denoted as `<ID_KEY>`) called `node_api_check.py`. To diagnose your node performance, whether by yourself or by sharing an output in our [operator channel](https://matrix.to/#/#operators:nymtech.chat), this tool provides you with a quick overview of live data. We recommend to run this checker alongside [`nym_gateway_probe`](gateway-probe.md) to triage both performance and an actual routing.
+
+Besides querying any bonded node APIs, `nym_api_check` has a function counting all existing nodes in provided version.
+
+### Setup
+
+#### Pre-requsities
+
+**Python3**
+
+1. Start with installing Python3:
+```sh
+sudo apt install python3
+```
+
+2. Make sure Python3 is your default Python version:
+```sh
+update-alternatives --install  /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
+
+# controll
+python --version
+
+# should return higher than 3
+```
+
+3. Install Python modules `tabulate`, `pandas` and `argparse`:
+- either using [`pip`](https://python.land/virtual-environments/installing-packages-with-pip) and then running:
+```sh
+pip install tabulate pandas argparse
+```
+- or if you installed Python3 system-wide you can install modules directly:
+```sh
+sudo apt install python3-tabulate python3-pandas python3-argparse
+```
+
+**Installation**
+
+4. Get [`node_api_check.py`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/tree/develop/scripts/node_api_check.py) and [`api_endpoints.json`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/tree/develop/scripts/api_endpoints.json). If you [compiled from source](../binaries/building-nym.md), you already have both of these files. If you prefer to download them individually, do it by opening terminal in your desired location and running:
+```sh
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/tree/develop/node_api_check.py
+
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/tree/develop/api_endpoints.json
+```
+
+5. Make executable:
+```sh
+chmod u+x node_api_check.py
+```
+
+Now you are ready to check your node.
+
+### Usage
+
+Run with `--help` flag to see the available commands:
+
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title="./node_api_check.py --help"
+```python
+<!--cmdrun cd ../../../../scripts && python ./node_api_check.py --help-->
+```
+~~~
+
+#### `query_stats`
+
+When you want to see all the options connected to a command, add a `--help` flag after the command of your choice, like in this example:
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title="./node_api_check.py query_stats --help"
+```python
+<!--cmdrun cd ../../../../scripts && python ./node_api_check.py query_stats --help-->
+```
+~~~
+
+The most common usage may be `./node_api_check.py query_stats <ID_KEY>` where `<ID_KEY>` is required, substitute it with node Identity Key.
+
+**Optional arguments**
+
+| Flag                   | Shortcut | Description                                                 |

+| `--markdown`           |     `-m`      | returns output in markdown format                           |
+| `--no_routing_history` |     `-n`      | returns output without routing history which can be lengthy |
+| `--output`             |     `-o`      | exports output to a file, possible to add a target path     |
+
+#### `version_count`
+
+Another command is `version_count` where at least one `nym-node` version is required. In case of multiple version count, separate the versions with space. We recommend to run this command with `--markdown` flag for a nicer output. This is an example where we want to look up how many registered nodes are on versions `1.1.0`, `1.1.1`, `1.1.2` and `1.1.3`:
+```sh
+./node_api_check version_count 1.1.0 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.1.3 --markdown
+```

+With `nym-node` version `1.1.3`, NymTech SA introduced [**Operators Terms & Conditions**]({{toc_page}}) for operators who want their nodes to become a part of the active set of Nym Mixnet.
+
+There has been a long ongoing discussion whether and how to apply Terms and Conditions for Nym network operators, with an aim to stay aligned with the philosophy of Free Software and provide legal defense for both node operators and Nym developers. To understand better the reasoning behind this decision, you can listen to the first [Nym Operator Town Hall](https://www.youtube.com/live/7hwb8bAZIuc?si=3mQ2ed7AyUA1SsCp&t=915) introducing the T&Cs or to [Operator AMA with CEO Harry Halpin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIN-zYQw0I0) from June 4th, 2024, explaining pros and cons of T&Cs implementation.
+
+Accepting T&Cs is done via an explicit flag `--accept-operator-terms-and-conditions` added to `nym-node run` command.
+
+More information on how to setup your node or check whether any node has T&C accepted can be found in [`nym-node` setup guide](nodes/setup.md#terms--conditions).

+Nym API measures performance by routing traffic through the Mixnet. If the average of a Gateway's routing score in past 24h is less than 50%, the Gateway gets blacklisted and it remains so until its performance is higher than 50%.

 In case your Gateway appeared on the [blacklist](https://validator.nymtech.net/api/v1/gateways/blacklisted), it's because there is some flaw in the configuration. The most common sources of problems are:

+- Outdated version of `nym-node`
 - Bonding before starting the node/service
 - Bonding before opening [needed ports](../nodes/vps-setup.md#configure-your-firewall)
- VPS restarted without operator having a [systemd automation](../nodes/configuration.md#systemd) or some alert notification flow setup
+- VPS restarted without operator having a [systemd automation](../nodes/configuration.md#systemd) or some alert notification flow setup (so the operator doesn't know the node was stopped)
+- IP address or host is incorrectly configured
+- Process logs grew too big
+- Node is wrapped in [systemd service](../nodes/configuration.md#systemd) and the operator forgot to run `systemctl daemon-reload` after last changes

-What to do:
+**What to do**

-1. Make sure your node is running and do not stop it if there is no need
-2. Open all needed [needed ports](../nodes/vps-setup.md#configure-your-firewall)
-3. Check your `config.toml` - often people have filled `hostname` without such hostname being configured or a wrong IP address after moving their node.
+Begin with a sanity check by opening [harbourmaster.nymtech.net](https://harbourmaster.nymtech.net) and check your node there. To query all API endpoints of your node at once, you can run [Node API Check CLI](../testing/node-api-check.md). To see IPv4 and IPv6 routing in real time (harbourmaster can have a cache up to 90 min), run [Gateway Probe CLI](../testing/gateway-probe.md).
+
+Then follow these steps:
+
+1. Make sure your node is on the [latest version](../changelog.md) and it's running . Do *not* stop it if there is no need!
+2. Open all [needed ports](../nodes/vps-setup.md#configure-your-firewall)
+3. Check your `config.toml` - often people have filled `hostname` without the domain being registered to `nym-node` IP, or a wrong IP address after moving their node.
 4. [Check Gateway Connectivity](#check-gateway-connectivity)
 5. See logs of your Gateway and search [for errors](#nym-node-errors) - if you find any unusual one, you can ask in the [Element Node Operators](https://matrix.to/#/#operators:nymtech.chat) channel
  - If your logs show that your Node has `cover down: 0.00` that means that the embedded IPR and NR is not sending any cover traffic.
-6. When all problems addressed:Wait until your node gets above 50% of performance (average of last 24h) - this will likely take several hours, up to a day. During this time your node is tested by `nym-api` and every positive response picks up your Gateway's routing score.
+6. [Check out if your `syslog`s](vps-isp.md#pruning-logs) aren't eating all your disk space and prune them
+7. When all problems are addressed: Restart the node/service (don't forget `systemctl daemon-reload`) and wait until your node gets above 50% of performance (average of last 24h) - this will likely take 24-48 hours. During this time your node is tested by `nym-api` and every positive response picks up your routing score.
+8. If your node doesn't pick up the routing score within 24h at all and it was running in `--mode exit-gateway`, run it as `--mode entry-gateway`. When your node is above 75% performance (past 24h), switch back to `--mode exit-gateway`.

+**Do not repeatedly restart your Nym Node without reason, your routing score will only get worse!**

 ### Check Gateway connectivity

 **1. Check out the API endpoints**

 Start with checking if your Gateway IPR and NR is active. To determine which mode your node is running, you can check the `:8080/api/v1/roles` endpoint. For example:
-```
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
 # for http
-http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/roles
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/roles
+# or
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/v1/roles

-# for https reversed proxy
-https://<DOMAIN>/api/v1/roles
+# for reversed proxy/WSS
+https://<NODE_DOMAIN>/api/v1/roles
 ```

 Everything necessary will exist on your node by default. For instance, if you're running a mixnode, you'll find that a NR (Network Requester) and IPR (IP Packet Router) address exist, but they will be ignored in `mixnode` mode.

 For more information about available endpoints and their status, you can refer to:
 ```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
 # for http
-http://<IP>:8080/api/v1/swagger/#/
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/swagger/#/
+# or
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/v1/swagger/#/

-# for https reversed proxy
-https://<DOMAIN>/api/v1/swagger/#/
+# for reversed proxy/WSS
+https://<NODE_DOMAIN>/api/v1/swagger/#/
 ```

+
 **2. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 tables and rules**

 - In case you haven't, follow the steps in the node [configuration](../nodes/configuration.md) chapter [connectivity test and configurastion](../nodes/configuration.md#connectivity-test-and-configuration).

 On self-hosted machine it's a bit more tricky. In that case as an operator you must be sure that your ISP allows for public IPv4 and IPv6 and then it may be a bit of playing around to find the right configuration. One way may be to bind your binary with the `--host` flag to local address `127.0.0.1` and run `echo "$(curl -4 https://ifconfig.me)"` to get a public address which you use to bond your Mix Node to `nym-api` via Nym wallet.

 It's up to you as a node operator to ensure that your public and private IPs match up properly.

+### Pruning Logs
+
+Running a `nym-node` as a standalone process or wrapped in a service can produce gigabytes of logs. Eventually your operation can malfunction due to the logs chewing up too much disk space or memory. Below are two scripts that can help you clean this up.
