Nym API

The Nym API provides multiple services to the Nym network, and is designed to be run alongside Nyxd validators. From a logical perspective, there are multiple applications, but they are bundled together for ease of deployment.

Nym Directory Caching

The Nym directory is contained in the mixnet smart contract in the Nyx blockchain. The blockchain holds the canonical directory information about nodes, stake, locations etc. The Nym API caches this information periodically to make queries faster and more scalable.

Nym Network Monitoring

The Nym API periodically sends test packets through the entire Nym mixnet to test node liveness and quality of service.

Nym Epoch Advancement and Payment

The Nym API periodically advances the epoch and triggers payment based on network monitoring measurements.

Coconut Credentials

Coconut [paper] is a distributed cryptographic signing scheme providing a high degree of privacy for its users. You can find an overview of how to use it in the Coconut section of the Nym documentation.

A simple explanation is also available in blog form.
