Nym in Fall 2026: From Ledger partnership to Zcash integrations
Everything Nym has shipped and shaped this Fall, from a Ledger hardware partnership to network-level privacy for Zcash.
Share
The big news first: NymVPN is coming to Ledger. Every new Ledger Atom will ship with NymVPN pre-installed, pairing hardware security for your keys with network-level privacy for your metadata.
Connecting on NymVPN is now a single tap with four automatic ways to route, Android security got a serious upgrade, and app performance is smoother than ever.
The NymVPN Partners program is live, so anyone can earn 50% of every sale with nothing but a wallet. We're appdropping NymVPN to projects and communities in Asia. And our Zcash Community Grant wrapped up, bringing network-level privacy to Zcash wallets. More mixnet integrations cooking as we speak.
And even U.S. Senator Ron Wyden officially asked the NSA: Is Nym or Tor better for people's digital privacy?
Here's a rundown of everything we've been up to this Fall.
Building with you,
Nym

And for the first time, the roadmap is yours to steer: vote on the features you want most. Voting is anonymous, just like the app you're helping build.
The Partners program is live
Earn 50% of every sale by referring people to NymVPN. No account or email needed, just your wallet. Set it up in under five minutes and get paid in USDT, NYM, BNB, ZEC, or XMR.
Appdrops started with Lens
We kicked off our first NymVPN appdrop with Lens: every Lens, Orb, and Firefly user could claim a free month of NymVPN. More projects and communities are coming soon!
Zcash grant complete
Nym finished its Zcash Community Grant, bringing network-level metadata privacy to Zcash wallets. The work is live in Zingo and Zkool wallets, with an independent security review by Zcash cryptographer Daira-Emma Hopwood.
We also published an entropy analysis of running Zcash over the mixnet: by default it adds roughly 17 bits of anonymity, hiding each transaction in a crowd of over 100,000.
