The Forest That Protects the Public Good: Nym for Libp2p privacy (part2)
2025-06-12 , Cinema 9 (Workshops)

The public and private are not opposites, they are complementary: privacy is needed to sustain the security and integrity of people as well as infrastructure that serve the public good. This workshop will demo working code for running Libp2p traffic through Nym, built with the Nym Rust SDK.


The public and private are not opposites, they are complementary: privacy is needed to sustain the security and integrity of people as well as infrastructure that serve the public good. This workshop presents the cypherpunk principle for understanding the public and private, namely “transparency for the powerful, privacy for the rest of us” - showing how to operationalise this in the context of decentralised infrastructures. The workshop presents the Nym Noise Generating Network an anonymous transport protocol for libp2p, a core module for decentralised networking, used by Celestia, Ethereum consensus clients and many more. Currently, we are working with the Celestia team to implement Nym for Libp2p. This workshop will demo working code for running Libp2p traffic through the Nym NGN, built with the Nym Rust SDK.

Jaya Klara Brekke has a background in political economy and digital geography and has been working on questions of power in emerging technologies for the past fifteen years. She is Chief Strategy Officer at Nym, a decentralized, anonymous transport layer for the internet.
