# Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
The Nym Network runs on decentralized infrastructure: a set of independently operated nodes coordinated by the Nyx blockchain, where no single party controls routing, key management, or credential issuance.
|
|
|
|
## In this section
|
|
|
|
- [Nyx Blockchain](/network/infrastructure/nyx): the Cosmos SDK chain that maintains the node registry, manages token economics, and hosts the smart contracts for credentials and rewards
|
|
- [Nym Nodes](/network/infrastructure/nym-nodes): the unified `nym-node` binary that operates as Entry Gateways, Mix Nodes, or Exit Gateways depending on network demand
