The Nym Privacy Platform

This repository contains the Nym mixnet.

The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:

• nym-mixnode - shuffles 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-gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, removing the need for directly delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices.

Building

Platform build instructions are available on our docs site.

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.
