Basic support for message chunking and reconstruction. It's now possible to take arbitrarily-sized input and send it through the mixnet. The sending Nym client will automatically chunk the input into Sphinx packets, and the receiving Nym client will then reconstruct the message at the other end.
The Nym Privacy Platform
This repository contains the full Nym platform.
The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
- nym-mixnode - shuffles 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-sfw-provider - a store-and-forward service provider. The provider acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages.
- nym-validator - currently just starting development. Handles consensus ordering of transactions, mixmining, and coconut credential generation and validation.
Building
Platform build instructions are available on our docs site.
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.
