Using only on-chain privacy like zk-snarks is like building a house on sand. Your metadata is exposed: IP address ISP Usage patterns WIFI router Nym's SDK allows seamless intergration for Dapps and wallets for protection.⤵️
Even a private transaction can reveal who sent it as access layer traffic can leak network metadata. Nym's SDK runs the mixnet in the browser with no install and no config, so wallets and dapps can tunnel their traffic through it and hide who's sending.

Anonymity is a superpower that everyone should have. Do you agree?

Just because you have nothing to hide does not mean that you have nothing to protect. What are you protecting with your privacy?

A mixnet is only as strong as the network behind it. The more independent nodes there are, the more possible routes your traffic can take. That is why we say, "privacy loves friends". And it's not just about the number of nodes↓

We take your privacy seriously. We don't need to know who you are. Traditional VPNs can link your payment information to your VPN subscription. NYM uses zk-nyms, a zero-knowledge proof system that makes your payment identity unlinkable to your VPN usage. Here's why that matters. ↓
