 # 🚀 What is NymVPN
 
 NymVPN is a privacy-focused, decentralized VPN application that goes beyond traditional VPNs by leveraging:
+
 - 🔀 [Mixnet](https://nym.com/mixnet) Technology: Anonymous 5-hop routing through Nym's decentralized network
 - ⚡ WireGuard + AmneziaWG: Fast, secure tunneling with built-in censorship resistance
 - 🛡️ Metadata Protection: Unlike traditional VPNs, protects both content AND traffic patterns (in mixnet mode)
 - 🔐 Zero-Knowledge Credentials: Private authentication using zero-knowledge [zk-nyms](https://nym.com/zk-nyms)
 - 🌍 No Single Point of Failure: Fully decentralized infrastructure

 🎯 Dual-Mode Privacy Architecture
@@ -51,24 +50,25 @@ NymVPN is a privacy-focused, decentralized VPN application that goes beyond trad
 - Cross-platform: Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, CLI
 
 ⚙️ Power User Features
+
 - Split Tunneling: Choose per-app routing (mixnet vs WireGuard) (_coming soon_)
 - Custom Entry/Exit Selection: Choose your preferred node operators
 - Kill Switch: Automatic connection protection with data leak prevention
 - Multi-language Support: 10+ localizations with crowdsourced language support
 
 🛡️ Advanced Privacy and Security
+
 - Multi-hop by Default: No server views both your IP address and online activity
 - zk-nyms: Private zero-knowledge credential system to unlink payments data from online activity
 - No Centralized Logging: Cryptographically impossible to track users
 - Advanced Cryptographic Stack: Cure25519, AES, ChaCha20-Poly1305, BLAKE2/BLAKE3, Lioness Wide Block Cipher, Pointcheval-Sanders Signatures, Pedersen Commitments, NIZK Proofs, BLS12-381 Curve, post-quantum readiness (_coming soon_)
 - Independent Security Audits: JP Aumasson (2021), Oak Security (2022), Cryspen (2023-2024), Cure53 (2024)
 
 🌐 Censorship Resistance Technologies
+
 - AmneziaWG Integration: Bypass barriers to information access with AmneziaWG (censorship-resistance WireGuard fork)
 - Adaptive Protocols: Pluggable transport, QUIC (_coming soon_)
