What is Nym?

Nym solves a large-scale problem of the internet: that traffic patterns are visible to anyone observing the network.

Even when content is encrypted, metadata and patterns of communication reveal sensitive information about people and systems. Nym protects internet traffic by routing it through a decentralised mixnet that can be accessed anonymously using zk-nyms.

Use Nym tools to protect yourself, your communications, blockchains and apps from surveillance and unauthorised data collection.

Why is it important to use Nym?
