The Nym Token (NYM) is the native utility token for the Nym platform, a privacy-centric platform that aims to offer users enhanced digital anonymity online. NYM tokens are used for incentivization and staking within the platform. Node operators and other participants are rewarded with NYM tokens for maintaining the network, and a staking mechanism is employed to ensure their commitment. The token was created by a team led by Harry Halpin, the CEO and Chairman of the Scientific board, and Claudia Diaz, the chief scientist at Nym.
