:repeat: Quick Summary of the Community Call with Sudo & Hux!
:date: Date: June 19, 2025
:bust_in_silhouette:
• @sudonym (Head of Community)
• Hux (UX and Product Strategy)

:fire: Key Highlights
• :microphone: Informal session: open Q&A, updates from Berlin, and the new NymVPN release.
• :globe_with_meridians: Nym actively participated in Berlin Blockchain Week & ZK Research Days → presented Mixnet-based apps.
• :handshake: Strong community support: users appreciate NymVPN and its anonymous seed-phrase login.

:hammer_and_wrench: Current Focus of Nym
• Improving NymVPN UX (v2025.10 “Watermelon” release fixed major Android issues).
• Large-scale marketing only after resolving remaining UX blockers.
• Priority: stability and usability first → then user growth.

:arrows_counterclockwise: NSL (Nym Squad League): Next 6–12 Months
• :jigsaw: Continued localization (website, Help Center, app) → done largely by the community.
• :brain: NSL Council activation: decisions now made collectively (vs centralized model).
• :mega: Official hackathon planned — after SDK updates are complete.
• :dart: NSL’s mission: support real Mixnet use cases (e.g., NymChat, NymConnect).

:speech_balloon: Community & Participation
• NSL Council includes both team and community members.
• Developer engagement will increase as SDKs mature.
• Focus on human-centered tools — not just tech, but accessible solutions.
• Community leads Telegram channels, localization, and projects (e.g., NymHub).

:closed_lock_with_key: Privacy as a Core Principle
• Emphasis on philosophy: not “masks & hacks” but friendly tools that empower people.
• Fish school metaphor → decentralization & anonymity through collective resilience.

:chart_with_downwards_trend: State of the NYM Token
• Token price at an all-time low, but:

  • Structural changes in reward system are planned.
  • More VPN subscriptions → creates buy pressure.
  • Nym ≠ just a token, but token stability remains key to the ecosystem.

:construction: Technical Roadmap
• Explorer improvements: node saturation indicators & staking recommendations.
• NymConnect revival and NymChat production launch under discussion.
• UX and onboarding will be central to future hackathons.

:pushpin: Miscellaneous
• :mega: Background suggestions for next call are still open. (Choose the background for our next community call 🏞️ - #4 by Beyond)
• :trophy: Twitter VPN giveaway winners to be announced soon.
• :tv: AMA with Claudia now available (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8nARxKZm5c&feature=youtu.be).

P.S. Sudo confused King Kong with Godzilla. Should we be worried?
