NYM is a decentralized privacy project focused on providing strong network-level privacy for users and applications across multiple blockchains. Instead of just encrypting data payloads (like transactions), NYM uses a mixnet to obscure both the content and metadata of network traffic, making it hard for observers to trace communications or determine who is talking to whom. The network is underpinned by an open-source, permissionless model—anyone can run a NYM node or build apps that leverage the network’s privacy features.

Syntropy develops decentralized systems including a blockchain and Decentralized Autonomous Routing Protocol. We’ve prototyped custom networks using Polkadot SDK and Polygon Edge, analyzed EVM network scalability, performed performance testing and stress tests. Our work also includes deploying and testing and Polygon SDK, Avalanche, and Fantom, alongside security assessments of the earliest cross-chain solutions like ChainBridge and private network scripts.

This library is Ethereum's serialization scheme implemented in Rust and is crucial for building Ethereum consensus clients in Rust. It made possible fast, secure serialization and Merkleization of Ethereum consensus data in Rust. With SSZ, Ethereum 2.0 achieved scalable, verifiable state transitions, efficient light clients, and secure consensus through hash tree roots and compact proofs. This enabled high performance, trustless validation, and composable protocols powering Ethereum’s decentralized upgrades and innovations.

ZIGChain powers the next era of decentralized asset management by enabling fund managers to deploy on-chain strategies that unlock investment opportunities for everyone.

This audit has focused on:
- `x/dex` module that enables users to create pools, provide or withdraw liquidity, and swap tokens.
- `x/factory` module that allows users to create custom native tokens with granular access controls via the bank and metadata admin, while enforcing the max supply.
- `x/tokenwrapper` module that facilitates the bridging between ZIG tokens on Axelar (originating from Ethereum) and native ZIG tokens in ZIGChain. Tokens are wrapped or unwrapped accordingly when transferring or receiving from ZIGChain.
