I'm excited to see a high-profile project like this in Nim :)

Any challenges with getting Nim on mobile? Do you compile to objective-C for iOS devices?

For now, we are still in research phase so we compile to C then machine code on our dev desktops.

In the future we will probably stay with C or use C++ (for zero cost exceptions).

We might not need Objective-C because the UI/UX part is taken care of by Status React[1] which is written in ClojureScript (and it's currently using Go as an Ethereum/Web3 backend).

The options to compile to Objective-C or JS are still there and that is very nice.
