Nym Wallet Preparation

Mainnet

Head to our website (opens in a new tab) and download the Nym wallet for your operating system. If pre-compiled binaries for your operating system aren't available, you can build the wallet yourself with instructions here (opens in a new tab).

If you don't already have one, please create a Nym address using the wallet, and fund it with NYM tokens. The minimum amount required to bond a node is 100 NYM, but make sure you have a bit more to account for gas costs.

NYM can be purchased via Bity (opens in a new tab) from the wallet itself with BTC or fiat, and is currently present on several exchanges (opens in a new tab).

Remember that you can only use Cosmos NYM tokens to bond your node. You cannot use ERC20 representations of NYM to run a node.

Sandbox testnet

Make sure to download a wallet and create an account as outlined above. Then head to our Sandbox Testnet page and request testnet NYM tokens.
