Infrastructure

The Nym Network runs on decentralized infrastructure: a set of independently operated nodes coordinated by the Nyx blockchain, where no single party controls routing, key management, or credential issuance.

In this section

  • Nyx Blockchain: the Cosmos SDK chain that maintains the node registry, manages token economics, and hosts the smart contracts for credentials and rewards
  • Nym Nodes: the unified nym-node binary that operates as Entry Gateways, Mix Nodes, or Exit Gateways depending on network demand
