Privacy at every layer, starting with your wallet

August 27, 20254 mins read

At Nym, we believe privacy needs to be protected at every layer: not just something you enable on one app but something that must flow from your payments to your traffic, and everything in between. That’s why we’re excited to announce: you can pay for NymVPN using Monero (XMR), one of the most robust privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies in existence.

Paying privately is a foundational step toward browsing privately. And with Monero, it starts from your wallet.

Monero + NymVPN: Privacy all the way down

When you pay for NymVPN with Monero, here's what happens behind the scenes:

Nym generates a unique XMR address for your payment

You receive an anonymous access credential (zk-nym) to activate NymVPN
Simply add it to your NymVPN app, and start browsing with full network-level privacy"

No account needed. No email required. No payment history leaked. No compromise.

What is Monero?

Monero (XMR) is a privacy coin launched in 2014, specifically engineered to prevent financial surveillance and metadata leaks.

Unlike most cryptocurrencies — including Bitcoin and Ethereum — Monero transactions are completely opaque by default. It uses three key technologies to achieve this:

Stealth Addresses: Your wallet address is never visible on the blockchain
Ring Signatures: Your transaction is cryptographically mixed with others, hiding the sender
Confidential Transactions (RingCT): The amount sent is encrypted and untraceable

With Monero, there’s no need to toggle privacy “on” — it’s always on.

This makes XMR the go-to currency for users who need true financial anonymity, whether they’re journalists, activists, or just regular users who value their freedom from surveillance capitalism.

Why payment privacy matters

We often talk about how Nym protects your traffic metadata: who you connect to, when, and how often. But what about the payment metadata that comes before you even use NymVPN?

Traditional methods like credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, even Bitcoin all leave traces. Even if the transaction itself is pseudonymous, metadata like transaction history, wallet addresses, or linked exchanges can be used to re-identify users and track service usage.

That’s why privacy coins like Monero are so important.

With Monero, not only is your identity protected, but your entire transaction graph disappears — it’s not possible to link payments, track users across services, or even identify amounts transacted.

Nym supports privacy coins

Adding Monero support isn’t a one-off. It’s part of our long-term mission to support payment systems that align with Nym’s values:

Decentralized: No intermediaries or permission required
Private-by-default: Not opt-in, not “enhanced”—default
Resistant to surveillance: Shield users from state and corporate tracking
Accessible worldwide: No banks, credit cards, or government IDs needed

This makes Monero ideal for people in hostile regimes, or anyone who wants to ensure their access to privacy tools like NymVPN doesn’t leave a trail behind.
