**[📢 Nym Partners With Near Foundation, Bringing #Web3 Privacy to Users and #Validators](https://blog.nymtech.net/press-release-nym-partners-with-near-foundation-bringing-web3-privacy-to-users-and-validators-844966df7f0b)** **[NYM](https://nymtech.net/)** — is a pioneering leader in privacy protection and blockchain technology. [NYM](https://nymtech.net/) #develops advanced technologies that hide sensitive data and increase digital privacy 🛡  ✨ This collaboration is set to bring end-to-end encryption and enhanced privacy protection to the #NEAR ecosystem, ultimately ensuring a more secure and private #Web3 experience for users and validators alike ✨ 💥**NYM mixnet** will be integrated into the **NEAR Protocol** to encrypt and mask traffic across the entire ecosystem. Masking out-of-chain metadata traffic not only protects transaction data in transit but also makes it much more difficult for attackers to de-anonymize users through their public IP addresses ❗️ **NYM Technologies'** partnership with the **NEAR Foundation** is not a new #development. The #NEAR ecosystem provided early support to #Nym, with Nym's participation in the Open Web Collective in 2021, a #Web3 incubator sponsored by the **NEAR Foundation.** **[Telegram](https://t.me/nearprotocoluachannel) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/nearuaguild) | [Medium](https://medium.com/near-protocol-ua) | [Chat](https://t.me/nearprotocolua/1)**
