What is NYM?     

NYM is a project that wants to improve privacy, so they built two ways of staking on two different blockchains: you can run a mix node which will help the network decomposing packages from different hosts, so that in the end the origin and target cannot be traceable anymore. Or, you can run a validator which will help the network validating the transactions, similar with any other validator from other Blockchains. However, validator process is still in testnet right now.  Check more about it here.
