# Overview
|
|
|
|
This section covers the SDKs, standalone crates, blockchain interaction, and developer tools for building on the Nym mixnet.
|
|
|
|
## Start here
|
|
|
|
If you're new, read **[Choosing an Approach](/developers/integrations)** first. It maps your runtime (native vs browser vs mobile) and your architecture (end-to-end vs proxy) onto the right crate/library.
|
|
|
|
## Crates/Libraries
|
|
|
|
| Crate/library | Language | Use it for |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| [`nym-sdk`](/developers/rust) | Rust | E2E messaging, `AsyncRead`/`AsyncWrite` streams, client pooling. Start with the [Tour](/developers/rust/tour). |
|
|
| [`smolmix` & connectors](/developers/smolmix) | Rust | `TcpStream` and `UdpSocket` over the Mixnet via a userspace IP stack, plus companion crates [`smolmix-dns`](/developers/smolmix/dns), [`smolmix-tls`](/developers/smolmix/tls), [`smolmix-hyper`](/developers/smolmix/hyper). |
|
|
| [`mix-fetch`](/developers/mix-fetch) | TypeScript | `fetch()`-compatible API for browser HTTP(S) requests over the Mixnet. |
|
|
| [TypeScript SDK](/developers/typescript) | TypeScript | Browser-side Mixnet Client (raw messaging) and Nyx Smart Contracts. |
|
|
| [Standalone Clients](/developers/clients) | Language-agnostic | SOCKS5 and WebSocket binaries for piping traffic through the Mixnet without an SDK. |
|
|
|
|
## Other sections
|
|
|
|
- **[Chain interaction](/developers/chain)**: query Nyx state, submit transactions, and call Nym smart contracts.
|
|
- **[APIs](/apis/introduction)**: auto-generated reference for Nym infrastructure HTTP endpoints.
