Help test NymVPN payments
Set the flywheel in motion and get 3 months free NymVPN usage and a chance to mint a limited edition Neurocolour NFT
NymVPN is gearing up for commercial launch: today, the Nym team is releasing our novel payments mechanism for live community testing.
On the surface, the Nym payment system looks normal: pay in dollars, euros, BTC and more to use NymVPN. But beneath the surface, there are two major innovations powering this system: zk-nyms and a perpetual buyback mechanism. Combined, these ensure you stay private when using NymVPN and ensure that increase in the demand for NymVPN is reflected in demand for the NYM token.
You can help Nym bring this new system to life by testing NymVPN subscription payments live over the next weeks! In exchange for buying a 1-month subscription, you will receive:
- 3-months free usage of the app
- All testers can whitelist a Nym address to mint from a 1,000 piece limited edition NFT by Neurocolor
Here is how to do it and get your limited time rewards.*
*Terms and conditions: The test period lasts from 25 February – 12 March 2025. Nym reserves the right to end this offer at any time.
Step 1: Buy a 1 month NymVPN subscription
- Go to the payments testing page
- Create your NymVPN account, and make sure to save your mnemonic Access Code in a safe place!
- Purchase 1 month NymVPN subscription ($12.99 / Eur 11.99 / CHF 10.99) *
- NOTE: if you are paying with NYM tokens, make sure to copy the signature/ memo and include it in your payment! You can do this in the Nym wallet by clicking "More options" and paste it in the memo field.
- Once the purchase is complete, you will be directed to your accounts page where you can add your Nym address to be whitelisted for the Neurocolour NFT.
*Pro Tip: Pay with NYM to get an additional 50% discount for a limited time only.
Step 2: Submit your Nym address for NFT drop
In addition to 3-months free, the first 1000 people to purchase a 1-month NymVPN subscription can whitelist to mint a limited edition Neurocolor NFT.
To register for the NFT drop, simply go to your NymVPN account page and submit a Nym ( n1….) address to the whitelist for the limited NFT drop.
On your accounts page, you will see a field to add your NYM (n1…) address. Don’t have an n1 address? Get Keplr or the Nym wallet and generate one!
If you use Keplr to generate your Nym address:
- Open the built-in browser in your Keplr mobile wallet
- Visit chains.keplr.app and search for 'Nyx' to generate your Nym address.
- Copy this address under “claim NFT” into your NymVPN account page.
If you use the Nym wallet, create a new account and simply copy your new address from your wallet and paste into the form on your NymVPN accounts page.
Once you whitelisted your Nym address all you need to do is keep an eye out on our channels for the announcement of the NFT mint opening and mint the 1/1000 Neurocolor NFTs.

Step 3: mint your NFT - starting 13th of March!
- NymVPN is launching to market on the 13th of March, which is also when the NFT minting starts.
- As soon as the testing phase is over, you will be able to mint your NFT.
- The link will be shared across Nym socials and community channels.
Why NymVPN payments matter
A big part of what makes NymVPN much more than a VPN is that it is based on an entirely new payment mechanism designed to ensure your payment data cannot be linked to your usage. And payments are finally here! The Nym community is the frontline in making it real before the commercial launch on 13 March 2025.
In a nutshell, here’s how it works:
- All payments are converted to NYM tokens: When anyone purchases a Nym subscription in the currency of choice (whether fiat or crypto), the payment is first converted to NYM. This creates a perpetual token buyback mechanism linked to the real-world use of NymVPN.
- Zk-nym unlinkability for all: These NYMs are then used to issue zk-nym anonymous credentials so that people can use NymVPN without having their traffic linked to their payment histories or personal information.
