π³οΈ Two Major Proposals Are Live β NIP-1 and NIP-2 Could Shape the Future of Nym Governance and Node Operations π³οΈ
π NIP-1 introduces a formal governance process for the Nym network:
A transparent and structured way to propose, discuss, and decide on network improvements β including those related to protocol and token economics.
This sets the stage for more decentralized and community-driven decision-making.
β οΈ NIP-2 brings immediate and significant impact for node operators:
It proposes to reduce the stake saturation cap (to 500k or 250k NYM),
And increase rotation in the active set, affecting how gateways are selected and rewarded.
This could shift delegation dynamics and reward distribution across the network.
π§ These are foundational proposals. If you run a node, your vote will shape the future.

From protection to surveillance: The UKβs Online Safety Act under fire π₯²
On 25 July 2025, the United Kingdom unleashed the Online Safety Act 2023, officially enforced by Ofcom. This marks a major escalation in state control over digital life. The Act embeds sweeping mandates β age verification, content scanning, and new enforcement powers up to site-blocking and executive criminal liability β that systematically undermine privacy, free speech, and access to legal information.
This isnβt just regulation β itβs a new turn in the surveillance-industrial complex.
Thankfully, decentralized VPNs like NymVPN can help you protect metadata like your IP address and allow you access information globally.
