Smart Contracts

The Nyx blockchain is based on CosmWasm. It allows users to code smart contracts in a safe subset of the Rust programming language, easily export them to WebAssembly, and upload them to the blockchain. Information about the chain can be found on the Nyx blockchain explorer.

There are currently two smart contracts on the Nyx chain:

• the Mixnet contract which manages the network topology of the mixnet, tracking delegations and rewarding.
• the Vesting contract which manages NYM token vesting functionality.

Users will soon be able to create and upload their own CosmWasm smart contracts to Nyx and take advantage of applications such as the Coconut Credential Scheme - more to be announced regarding this very soon.
