Nym Mixnet

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. Platform build instructions are available on Nym Operators Guide documentation. Wallet build instructions are available here. 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.
