There are four ways to strengthen the NymVPN network, and the first one is simply using it.
Use NymVPN: privacy loves company
By using NymVPN, you help to enhance the network's security. Your additional traffic helps dilute and complicate traffic analysis for potential adversaries. In essence, privacy loves company: the more people use the network, the stronger everyone's privacy becomes.
Delegate NYM tokens
You can delegate NYM tokens to operators you trust, helping ensure top-quality service across the network. Download the Nym Wallet app to make delegations.
Run a node
You can install the node binaries and become a node operator yourself, adding your own infrastructure to the decentralized network. Visit the operators documentation to get started.
Join the Nym Squad League
The Nym Squad League is Nym's community contributor program. Submit your contributions, whether that's translations, building apps on Nym, or managing and promoting Nym internationally. You can apply for grants or complete regular missions to earn NYM.
