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 as mixnode, entry-gateway and exit-gateway are fundamental components of Nym Mixnet architecture. Nym Nodes are ran by decentralised node operators. Read more about nym-node in Operators Guide documentation. Network functionality of nym-node (labeled with --mode flag) 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 as entry-gateway and exit-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.

This is a monorepo and components that make up Nym as a system are licensed individually, so for accurate information, please check individual files.

As a general approach, licensing is as follows this pattern:

  • applications and binaries are GPLv3
  • libraries and components are Apache 2.0 or MIT
  • documentation is Apache 2.0 or CC0-1.0
