Decentralized VPN powered by blockchain; open sourced network allowing anyone to rent their unused network traffic, while providing a secure connection for those in need. We are on a quest to help reclaim our privacy.
Mysterium foundation is developing Mysterium Network – an open source software, powering a decentralized network of VPN Nodes.
Mysterium Network acts as a marketplace, its Open Source software allows anyone to join the network both as a provider – selling unused network traffic or as a customer – buying VPN service from other Mysterium Network providers.
Mysterium Network is based on a complex architecture revolving around P2P, Blockchain, Smart Contracts, State Channels, etc. The protocol will enable the creation of completely decentralized VPN network, powered by decentralized micro payments.
What is Mysterium Network?
Mysterium Network aims to be fully decentralized, peer to peer based and serverless VPN node network, designed to provide privacy restoring techniques to its users and financial incentivization to its node operators (providers).
How Mysterium Network is different from other VPN providers?
Mysterium Network will work by utilizing blockchain technology such as Ethereum, smart contracts advancing their features with state-channels and evolving mechanisms of promises, combined with censorship evasion protocols developed by the community acting as applications of the network.
What if someone misuses my VPN Node network?
Mysterium will deploy technological and legal means to make sure node operators are safe:
I’st we will focus on protecting node operators from legal perspective,
II’nd we will implement an ingrained reputation & trust mechanisms (based on Registered Identities defined in whitepaper)
and finally we will develop a traffic routing mechanism which would combine splitting request data through different nodes and changing the end-to-end circuit between requests.
How much will Mysterium cost per month or per mb of bandwidth for the end user?
Cost ot Mysterium services will be defined by the node operators. Since this will create a phenomenon known as ‘perfect competition’ – we expect prices to be significantly lower than of current VPN providers.
