This rolls together desktop wallet hardening, UX polish, and operational fixes we have been carrying in the branch. The goal is safer defaults, less noisy background behaviour. Security - Tighten the Tauri CSP for production and keep connect-src aligned with real needs. - Add a safe URL opener path (allowlisted schemes / validation) so user-influenced links do not become an open redirect surface. - Replace unwrap usage in mixnet account flows with proper errors and propagation. - Add an internal threat-model note so future changes keep the same assumptions explicit. Clipboard and desktop - Add a window-level Tauri clipboard hook for normal inputs, with clear exclusions for currency fields, auth-sensitive paste, and opt-in replace-paste fields. - Wire an Edit menu (cut, copy, paste, select all) where it helps, and keep behaviour consistent with the hook. - Deduplicate clipboard field props and satisfy ESLint on optional paste handlers. Updater and vesting operations - Treat legacy static updater JSON (missing per-platform signatures) as a soft failure with a clear warning, instead of erroring the version check IPC - Cut vesting polling spam when the chain has no vesting account for the address, and map vesting "no account" to a dedicated BackendError for stable handling on the client. - Move high-frequency vesting query logs to debug and keep removed-query stubs at warn. Icons and first-run chrome - Regenerate macOS/Windows icon assets from a padded 1024 master so dock and switcher visual weight matches other apps; add a small script to regenerate from app-icon-source.png. - Default the app to dark mode, paint the HTML shell and webview background in the same dark base colour Housekeeping - Mock app context defaults to dark for consistency with the new baseline. Validation run locally where relevant: Rust check, TypeScript check, ESLint, and icon regeneration script smoke run. - Remove storybook and old webdriver tests too
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.
