VerificationKeyAuth::to_bytes() and SecretKeyAuth::to_bytes() used usize::to_le_bytes() to serialize vector lengths, producing 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit. Since from_bytes() always reads 8 bytes (u64), this caused ZK proof challenge hash mismatches when a 32-bit client's proof was verified by a 64-bit gateway, resulting in "the provided ticket failed to get verified" on all 32-bit platforms.
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.nym-cli- a tool for interacting with the network from the CLI.

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.
