Nym is a privacy platform that provides strong network-level privacy against sophisticated end-to-end attackers, and anonymous access control using blinded, re-randomizable, decentralized credentials. It protects privacy at the network layer by encrypting and relaying users' internet traffic through a multi-layered network called a mixnet. In each layer of the mixnet, mix nodes mix users' internet traffic with that of other users, making communications private and hiding metadata such as IP address, who they are talking to, when and where, and more.

Existing internet protocols leak sensitive data that can be used without users knowledge — Nym is developing the infrastructure to prevent this data leakage by protecting every packet’s metadata at the network and application layers.
