Nym Node

Nym Node

NYM NODE is a tool for running a node within the Nym network. Nym Nodes containing functionality such as mixnode, entry-gateway and exit-gateway are fundamental components of Nym Mixnet architecture. Nym Nodes are ran by decentralised node operators.

To setup any type of Nym Node, start with either building Nym's platform from source or download pre-compiled binaries on the configured server (VPS) where you want to run the node. Your Nym Node will need to be bonded before it can be run. We recommend most users use the Nym desktop wallet for this.

Follow preliminary steps page before you configure and run a nym-node!

Steps for Nym Node Operators

Once VPS and Nym wallet are configured, binaries ready, the operators of nym-node need to:

  1. Setup the node

  2. Configure the node and optionally automation, Wireguard, WSS, reversed proxy ...

  3. Run the node or the service

  4. Bond the node to the Nym API, using Nym wallet

Make sure to follow the steps thoroughly, in case you find any point difficult don't hesitate to ask in our Operators channel (opens in a new tab).
