Making Blockchain Anarchist Again
summary
Claims a working decentralized mixnet that mixes individual packets, adds delay and noise, and routes them independently to foil metadata correlation and large adversaries, with 700 nodes worldwide, threshold-based validators and a rerandomizable anonymous credential system called ZK Nyms. Ships a cross-platform Nym VPN beta (Windows Linux Mac iOS Android) that requires a redeem code from the mailing list, disconnects payments from sessions, pays operators in NIM token, plans Polkadot/Substrate integration by end of 2024 and post-quantum crypto by November.
