## The Nym Privacy Platform
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the full Nym platform.
|
|
|
|
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-sfw-provider - a store-and-forward service provider. The provider acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages.
|
|
* nym-validator - currently just starting development. Handles consensus ordering of transactions, mixmining, and coconut credential generation and validation.

### Building
|
|
|
|
Platform build instructions are available on [our docs site](https://nymtech.net/docs).
|
|
|
|
### 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.
