What is it? Any context about why I should care that you might be willing to include?

It encrypts and routes your entire internet traffic (email, messenger, …) through a multi-layered network which they call “mixnet”. That makes your communications private and hides your metadata (your IP address, who you talk to, when and where, etc.).

For context -

“Nym provides strong network-level privacy against sophisticated end-to-end attackers, and anonymous transactions using blinded, re-randomizable, decentralized credentials.”

Yes, we should also mention that it’s still in early stage and experimental to some degree. I am just trying the Android app and it doesn’t appear to work as intended. First I could see my real IP, and after I shut it down it crashes on start.

All good things take time …
