## 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](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-socks5-client - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine, and use with existing applications
* nym-gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, removing the need for directly delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices.
* nym-network-monitor - sends packets through the full system to check that they are working as expected, and stores node uptime histories as the basis of a rewards system ("mixmining" or "proof-of-mixing").
* nym-explorer - a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.

### 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.
