The NYM mixnet’s Finney testnet has caught up with Tor in the number of nodes. At the time of publication, Finney runs 8,080 nodes<\/a>, while 8,191 nodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With support from the non-profit Cosmos Interchain Foundation, Finney has been joined by several major Tendermint validators: Dokia Capital, P2P.org, Hashquark, HuobiPool and Figment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be part of the Nym project. Protecting user data at the protocol level using privacy-preserving technologies is an important step on the path to a free internet that belongs to users,\u201d says Andres Solanot of Figment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Nym representatives, Tor operates on donations and grants<\/a>. Tor operators have no economic incentives \u2014 they cover the costs of running the system themselves. Operators of the Nym network receive rewards in the network’s native tokens.<\/p>\n

The NYM mixnet \u2014 a decentralized infrastructure that provides confidentiality for data of applications and services. The Nym network supports crypto wallets, DeFi protocols, messaging apps and IoT devices.<\/p>\n
