Security audits of the Nym network and apps 2023-2024 🔐
In the leadup to the commercial launch of NymVPN to the world, the Nym network and apps have undergone two thorough and independent security audits in the last two years.
The goal has been to make sure Nym’s technology, cryptography, and network are in top shape for when NymVPN lands in customers’ hands.
Like Nym’s open source code, these audits are made public as well as the Nym team’s responses explaining the measures taken to address relevant issues. ⬇️

🔍 Web3’s Metadata Problem – Community Call 🌐
Last time, we talked with Casey about how VPNs aren’t always what they seem—with backdoors, surveillance risks, and privacy trade-offs baked into many mainstream options. Now, we’re shifting the focus to Web3’s biggest blind spot: metadata exposure!
ICYMI: Community call with Casey Ford: 🌑 Disrupting the VPN market recap
Most blockchains expose user activity by default, raising serious privacy concerns. What does this mean for us, and how can we fix it? We'll be talking about:
🕵️ Web3's major metadata problem
📊 Blockchains exposing metadata by design
🔍 Who’s tracking your transactions, and why does it matter?
💡 How the Nym mixnet solves metadata leakage
... and much more!
Join in with Sudo LIVE tomorrow to get involved in the Q&A and claim your POAPs!
