The Nym Privacy Platform
The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
nym-node- a tool for running a node within the Nym network. Nym Nodes containing functionality such asmixnode,entry-gatewayandexit-gatewayare fundamental components of Nym Mixnet architecture. Nym Nodes are ran by decentralised node operators. Read more aboutnym-nodein Operators Guide documentation. Network functionality ofnym-node(labeled with--modeflag) can be:mixnode- shuffles 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 asentry-gatewayandexit-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.nym-explorer- a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.nym-wallet- a desktop wallet implemented using the Tauri framework.

Building
- Platform build instructions are available on Nym Operators Guide documentation.
- Wallet build instructions are available on Nym Technical docs.
Developing
There's a 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.

Tokenomics & Rewards
Nym network economic incentives, operator and validator rewards, and scalability of the network are determined according to the principles laid out in the section 6 of Nym Whitepaper. Initial reward pool is set to 250 million Nym, making the circulating supply 750 million Nym.
