Welcome to the Nym Community!

Key objectives

• Bring the noise! It’s simple: use NymVPN, flood the net with real and cover traffic, and be private together (for some NYM rewards, of course)
• Help and amplify the NymVPN launch
• Strengthen and optimize the Nym network
• Build tools and apps for the Nym ecosystem

Squad Wealth Fund ~1 million NYM

This is the estimated size of the fund by the end of the Fall Season. It is based on the funds carried over from the Summer Season, the current Nym network APY and the amount of NYM tokens staked as part of the Nym Delegations Program. Read more about the Squad Wealth Fund here.

What’s new this season

• Grants: Anyone can now apply for grants, and most NSL grants no longer require Nymja/Shinobi rank. Specific builder grants: You can still propose your own ideas, but starting this season the NSL is also putting out specific calls for builders: operator tooling, reviving NymConnect, and more (see grants below).
• Buddy system: The NSL can be a lot to take in at first. Seasoned contributors will now help you get started. A more detailed list of all new NSL terms is available in the NSL Summer Season report.

Key missions and grants

Make sure to check out the full Mission Board for what’s needed this season. But here are some highlights to pay attention to:

1. Make some noise - Generate mixnet traffic: Stay connected to the mixnet the longest through the NymVPN Anonymous Mode to get rewards for all the traffic you generate through the mixnet.
2. Referral program: How can you refer someone? It’s simple! If your friend is interested in joining NSL, simply fill out the registration form to generate your unique referral link.
3. Build with Nym: If you are building a self-sufficient project that can be built without a lot of active support from the Nym Dev team using the mixnet, read through the proposals to register now.

These are just examples - there are many ways you can contribute! See the full list of missions and grants here.
