* Add mixtcp crate
Components:
- NymIprDevice: smoltcp::phy::Device impl using channel-based I/O
- NymIprBridge: async task bridging the device to IpMixStream
- create_device(): helper to set up the complete stack
* - Cleanup
- Add graceful shutdown
- Declutter logging - move a lot of bridge info! -> trace!
- Move rustls, nym-bin-common, bytes to dev-dependencies
- Extract TlsOverTcp to mod.rs
- Make timing more granular
- Update readme
* Add UDP example
* Add UDP example to readme
* rename mixtcp -> smolmix
* Add Tunnel API with TcpStream and UdpSocket over tokio-smoltcp
* Re-export Tunnel API and add init_logging convenience function
* Remove raw smoltcp path, flatten tunnel module
* Clean up bridge, device, and tunnel code
* Consolidate architecture docs, tidy examples and README
- Add src/ARCHITECTURE.md as single source of truth for architecture
- Include in docs.rs via doc = include_str!
- Strip duplicated diagrams from tunnel.rs, device.rs, README
- Extract tls_connector() helper in HTTPS example to match websocket example
- Use consistent 'smolmix' casing in README
* Update smolmix imports for ipr_wrapper API
- stream_wrapper::{IpMixStream, NetworkEnvironment} → ipr_wrapper::
- connect_tunnel() → check_connected()
- disconnect_stream() → disconnect()
- allocated_ips() returns &IpPair directly (no Option)
* Add Tunnel::new_with_ipr, re-export IpPair/Recipient, tidy examples
- Add Tunnel::new_with_ipr() for targeting a specific exit node
- Re-export IpPair and Recipient so users don't need direct deps
- Add DNS leak warning to WebSocket example
- Await hyper connection task in HTTPS example
* Restructure smolmix into multi-crate workspace
- Move core tunnel code to smolmix/core/- Rewrite examples for each crate with clearnet/mixnet comparisons
* Add workspace README with architecture overview
* Update nym-sdk README module descriptions
- Replace stale stream_wrapper description with ipr_wrapper + mixnet::stream
- Remove TODO comment
* Remove companion crates, scope to smolmix-core
* Comment out additional components on -core branch README.md
* Cargo.lock fix for compilation issue
* Downgrade accidentally bumped dependencies in Cargo lock + change
smolmix dependencies to import from workspace
* Fix workspace deps + move nym-bin-common to dev-deps
* PR review changes + fix Sink delegation
* Fix borked merge + update README.md
* Fix up stale docs + rewrite examples to use proper imports and timing
logs
* Update readmes + architecture file
* Impl Drop for BridgeShutdownHandle + update comment
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.
