Nym represents the next generation of privacy, engineered by leading research scientists and developers from world-class universities. The system includes a mixnet providing network-level privacy, credentials ensuring application-level privacy, and the NYM token incentivizing system operators to ensure sustainability and scalability. In an era where digital privacy is paramount, Nym proudly introduces NymVPN, a groundbreaking solution that redefines online privacy and security. Unlike traditional VPNs, NymVPN is built on the Nym network, a fully decentralized infrastructure that eliminates any single point of failure or control, offering unparalleled privacy protections, including private payments via zk-nym credentials utilizing zero-knowledge technology to conceal financial trails. How does Nym ensure privacy? Nym is a comprehensive full-stack privacy system. Developers can integrate their existing applications with the Nym platform to protect users at the network level via the Nym mixnet and at the application layer via Nym private credentials. This combination enhances privacy across the broader blockchain industry: the Nym mixnet provides privacy at layer 0, offering metadata protection for layer 1 (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) and layer 2 (including most DeFi projects) blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. What is the Nym mixnet? The Nym mixnet is a decentralized network of computers arranged in three layers. Your communication traffic is sent through the mixnet, wrapped in multiple layers of encryption using the SPHINX packet format, making all data passing through the mixnet indistinguishable. In each layer, your internet traffic is mixed with others' traffic, obfuscating metadata such as IP address, timing, and destination. This ensures that your messages are lost in the crowd, protecting both the content and metadata of your communications. The concept of Privacy loves company underscores that the more data mixed together, the more private everyone's data becomes. What is NymVPN? NymVPN is the first truly private consumer product designed to protect your data and metadata from prying eyes. Built on the decentralized Nym network, it eliminates any single point of failure or control. NymVPN offers unmatched privacy protections, including private payments via zk-nym credentials that eliminate financial trails. NymVPN offers two modes to cater to different privacy needs: VPN Mode: A decentralized, secure 2-hop mode using the WireGuard protocol, optimized for speed with medium-level privacy. Mixnet Mode: Provides comprehensive pattern protection security, preventing metadata analysis for high privacy with medium performance.
