In the media

The Record: "Swiss government looks to undercut privacy tech, stoking fears of mass surveillance"

"There is a great worrying paradox, when the need for privacy tech is becoming so important to protect citizens to have a state that actively destroys its own local privacy industry." – Alexis Roussel

The Metro: “This ‘invisible’ data trail can reveal your location, health status and even sexuality to scammers”

“Metadata is the raw material of mass surveillance, and artificial intelligence [AI] systems are making it more and more refined.” – Harry Halpin

Utopia in Beta: “Jaya Brekke on Mixnets and digital privacy's inflection point"

“[P]rivacy isn’t about having ‘something to hide,’ but about preserving the basic integrity of how we make decisions and relate to one another offline within digital environments.”

btc++ Insider Edition: “Interview with Claudia Diaz”

“[In Tor you have 3 jumps] but no delay, no mixing [...] As fast as it gets the packet, [Tor] sends it forward. [NymVPN] treats every packet independently. In Tor, you build a circuit, and all the packets go through the same circuit. [With Nym], every packet is a different path.” – Claudia Diaz

NymVPN

Private crypto payments

Using NymVPN for privacy is great, but a full anonymity stack requires anonymous payments. That’s why we’re integrating as many crypto payments and privacy coins as possible so that your payments for NymVPN can be anonymous even to Nym. In addition to Monero and Zcash, you can now pay using Litecoin and Dash.

New app releases

There have been two NymVPN releases since July. Update your apps to the latest v2025.14 to see improvements to UI messaging, connection, and overall app stability. New apps for MacOS and iOS will follow soon to resolve an important daemon issue.

nym.com localization

The infrastructure for localizing nym.com into 10 languages is now live! For our Ukrainian community, you can check your fully localized site here. The web dev team will be rolling out more languages in the coming weeks, so stay tuned to read the world of Nym in your mother tongue as Nym goes truly global.

What’s coming next?

Stay up to date with the public roadmap for NymVPN developments. Here’s what in the immediate pipeline:

Completing the localization of the NymVPN apps and nym.com in 10+ languages
Rollout of the second phase of NymVPN’s censorship resistance program
In-app payments for all apps following the new iOS feature

Nym network

Nym network in numbers

Nym Binance Bridge is live

The new Nym Binance Bridge has gone live, now permitting interoperability for the NYM token via Binance Smart Chain. This is the first step toward a fuller integration of NYM with Binance, so stay tuned for some exciting news soon!

Community governance: Lower stake saturation

NIP-2 has now been implemented, improving network competition and decentralization, and almost doubling the APY for top performing Nym gateways. Read more here about what this means for node operators, your stake, and node saturation. If you haven’t yet, check out the new Nym Governator tool supporting Nym network governance.

New Delegations Program

A new Delegations Program has launched following NIP-2 to onboard new Nym node operators. Apply here as we are always looking for good operators to join the ecosystem, and more locations to expand access and decentralization across the world.
