 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.

 ### 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'

+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

+- [Add ci check for PR having an assigned milestone](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4644): add a CI check for checking that a PR is assigned to a milestone. Can bypassed the check by adding a `no-milestone` label to a PR
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- CI complains if no milestone is associated with the an issue.
+~~~
+
+- [Bump defguard wireguard](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4625)
+- [Add generic wireguard private network routing](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4636): as defguard wireguard only allows for peer routing modifications, we will configure the entire wireguard private network to be routed to the wg device. Configuring per peer is also not desirable, as the interface doesn't allow removing routes, so unused ip routing won't be cleaned until gateway restart (and it would also pollute to routing table with a lot of rules when many peers are added).
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- This is a part of a bigger ticket, but initial testing has proven to shown that launching nym-nodes (entry and exit gateways) in WG enable mode to be working
+
+*QA will use this template for the other related WG tickets in this release milestone.*
+~~~
+- [Standarise `ContractBuildInformation` and add it to all contracts](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4631): Similarly to `cw2`, we're now saving `ContractBuildInformation` under a constant storage key, i.e. `b"contract_build_info"` that standarises the retrieval by nym-api.
+    - Also each of our contracts now saves and updates that information upon init and migration.

+- Use the latest release/chomp contracts and deploy these to QA
+- Use the `nym-api` to query for the results of these new contracts

+- [Handle v6 and v7 requests in the IPR, but reply with v6](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4620): teach the IPR to read both v6 and v7 requests, but always reply with v6. This is to prepare for bumping to v7 and signed connect/disconnect messages. Follow up PRs will add
+    - Verify signature
+    - Send v7 in client with signatures included
+- [Purge name service and service provider directory contracts](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4603): this is a compiler assisted purge of the `nym-name-service` and `nym-service-provider-directory` contracts that were never deployed on mainnet, and will anyhow be superseded by the new mixnode directory that is being worked on.
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'

+### Crypto
+
+- [Update crypto and rand crates](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4607): Update sphinx crate to `0.1.1` along with 25519 crates and `rand` crates
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title="Comments"
+This PR contains a test failure due to the update [here](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/b4a0487a41375167b2f481c00917b957b9f89789/common/crypto/src/asymmetric/encryption/mod.rs#L353-L358)
+
+- This is due a change in `x25519-dalek` from `1.1.1` to `2`.
+- Crypto operations should be identical, but the byte representation has changed (sphinx clamps at creation, x25519 clamps at use). This cannot be changed in the sphinx crate without breaking changes.
+- There is a good chance that this failure doesn't impact anything else, but it has to be tested to see.
+- A mix of old and new clients with a mix of old and new mixnodes should do
+~~~
+
+### Bugfix
+- [Make sure nym-api can handle non-cw2 (or without detailed build info) compliant contracts](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/4648): fixes the issue (even if some contracts aren't uploaded on chain it doesn't prohibit the api from working - caveat, the essential vesting and mixnet contract are required)
+~~~admonish example collapsible=true title='Testing steps performed'
+- Use the latest release/chomp contracts and deploy these to QA
+- If the contract was not found, the API would complain of invalid contracts, thus not starting the rest of the operations of the API (network monitor / rewarding etc)

 ## `v2024.5-ragusa`

@@ -24,30 +24,36 @@ To run a new node, you can simply execute the `nym-node` command without any fla

 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:
-```
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
 # for http
-http://<IP>:8080/api/v1/swagger/#/

+From `nym-node` version `1.1.3` onward is required to accept [**Operators Terms & Conditions**]({{toc_page}}) in order to be part of the active set. Make sure to read them before you add the flag.
+```
+
+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):
+```sh
+# sustitude <NODE_IP_ADDRESS> or <NODE_DOMAIN> with a real one
+http://<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/api/v1/auxiliary_details

+# 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.

+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 restart your Nym Node without reason, your routing score will only get worse!**
+**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).
@@ -49,3 +49,43 @@ To find the right IP configuration, contact your VPS provider for support to fin
 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.
+
+```admonish warning
+`rm` is a powerful tool, without an easy way of revoking. If you need to extract or backup anything, do it now. Make sure you understand what you removing before you execute these commands.
