Squad Wealth Fund balance :eyes: 1,400,000 $NYM

Nym Squad League YEAR 2 is kicking off with a bang: NymVPN is finally live for subscriptions! That means real privacy, out in the wild, for anyone who wants it.

Nym has always been about adoption and utility and this is a milestone made possible by you. The community has always been the heart of Nym, and now more than ever, your support is what will take us to the next level. Let’s make this season count :heart_hands:

:love_letter: Mission board is out, NSL homepage is in!

Based on your valuable feedback over the past year, we’ve redesigned the Nym Squad League mission board to make it much simpler for newcomers to join.

The new NSL homepage will live on this link (forever): https://nymtech.notion.site/nymsquadleague

You can find a new FAQ section, a page dedicated to news & updates, and a visual overhaul. We’d love to hear your comments in the coming days.

Just like last season, there are over 50,000 $NYM rewards for earning points on the Nymster leaderboard and a separate reward pool for grants :fireworks:

If you have something specific in mind that’s not on the mission board, propose it on the forum as covert mission! You can see the rewards distributed for the previous season’s contributions here.


Key details :clipboard:

  • Starts: April 15, 2025
  • Ends: June 30, 2025
  • Submission deadline: June 25, 2025

What’s new? :sparkles:

Goodbye Nymja & Shinobi :broken_heart:

( Well, not really! ) When NSL launched, we introduced a rank system: Nymster, Nymja, and Shinobi. These ranks came with perks, like only Nymja and Shinobi being eligible for grants.

Over time, we changed the rules to make grants open to everyone, and with that, the ranks lost their original purpose.

We’ll keep the titles ( @Nymster, @Nymja and @Shinobi ) on Discord and elsewhere for recognition and fun, but they’ll no longer affect decisions, rewards, or anything else. No more promotions either.

Introducing the NSL Council

To help things move faster and more smoothly, we’re setting up a new NSL Council.

The council will meet on a weekly or biweekly basis to make key decisions, mostly about grant proposals, reward amounts, and other program updates.

The council will consist of members of the Nym team, and community contributors can apply to join it. If you’re a proven and active NSL contributor who wants to represent the community and have a say in how things run, this is your chance!

Applications open this week. Keep an eye on our channels if you’re interested!

Monthly Payments

NSL originally used quarterly payments, aligned with the seasonal schedule. But this has proven suboptimal for two reasons:

  • Rewards of up to 400–500k NYM were distributed all at once. While the community has been great about not dumping tokens, some people raised concerns about the volume.

  • More importantly, some contributors had to wait a long time to receive their rewards.

To fix this, NSL will now move to monthly payments. This means faster payouts and a more balanced distribution of payments over the year.

Note: for ongoing grants such as decentralized community management and translations, you will have to report your progress on a monthly basis to receive payment with the same cadence. If you prefer to report once a quarter, you can do so and continue receiving your grant payments on quarterly basis.

Revamped Season Reports

From now on, all NSL season reports will be posted directly on the forum, instead of shared as PDFs (including the latest one below).

Summary

With NymVPN officially on the market, the community stepped up like never before: building, translating, educating, visualizing, and spreading the word across continents. This report is a snapshot of that momentum: a season packed with meaningful contributions and major milestones!

:boom: 53+ contributions

:chart_with_upwards_trend: 943k NYM in staking rewards

:earth_africa: Global outreach across 9 events and 5 languages
