Nyx Blockchain
ℹ️
If you want to interact with the chain please check the interacting with Nyx section of the developer docs.
If you want to run a Validator node, check the Operator guides.
Nyx is a Cosmos SDK blockchain. It records the ledger of NYM transactions and executes the smart contracts for distributing NYM rewards.
The blockchain plays a supporting but fundamental role in the mixnet: the NYM token used to incentivise node operators is one of two native tokens of the chain (the other being NYX, used for Blockchain consensus), and the chain is where the Mixnet, Vesting, and zk-nym-related smart contracts are deployed.
