## What is Mysterium Network? 

[Mysterium Network](https://www.mysterium.network/) is an open-source ecosystem of protocols, tools, and Web3 infrastructure making the internet borderless and accessible for all. The network gives both users and builders the tools they need to safeguard their online anonymity and equal access to information. Mysterium held a token sale through which it raised $14 million CHF.

Mysterium is powered by its permissionless, peer-to-peer network. Anyone can turn their device into a node and rent their spare internet resources, such as bandwidth or IP address, in exchange for cryptocurrency. The network is tamper-proof, anonymous, and encrypted like Tor, but with superior usability, stability and speed.

Mysterium’s B2B Network-as-a-Service lays the groundwork for all kinds of enterprise-level services to be built, including the project's flagship product, the [Mysterium VPN](https://www.mysteriumvpn.com/), available for Android, Windows, Mac and Linux (iOS in 2022). Developers and entrepreneurs can build private, censorship-resistant tools, and businesses can make their products globally accessible and secure. The technology is fully compatible with both Web2 and Web3 platforms and can be integrated with VPNs, proxy services, DeFi wallets, browsers, search engines, data scraping solutions, and streaming apps, building censorship-resistance into the apps we already use. 

## What is MYST?

MYST is the utility token at the heart of Mysterium Network. MYST is used for frictionless P2P micropayments within the network. If you’re using the VPN, you can pay with MYST token. If you’re a node (provider of the VPN service) you receive MYST. Mysterium has designed its own unique micropayments infrastructure, the Hermes protocol, to facilitate these fast, anonymous, and censorship-resistant transactions.

In 2022, Mysterium will be among the first to integrate the IQ Protocol, developed by PARSIQ. The protocol powers the Mysterium Delegation Pool, a completely risk-free, collateral-free solution that allows holders to stake MYST and earn rewards in DAI stablecoin. Node runners stake MYST to run a node. Nodes can rent MYST from the delegation pool without any upfront capital, and a portion of their earnings can be used as repayment. This DeFi mechanism rewards stakers, growing their stake proportionate to pool size and network traffic.

MYST is an ERC-20 token with the addition of ERC-2612 (the permit function), which was introduced with the DAI token and popularized by the Uniswap team.

Peercoin, also known as PPC or Peer-to-Peer Coin, was created by Sunny King and his team and launched in August 2012. It is the first blockchain to implement Proof-of-Stake consensus.

The primary inspiration behind the creation of Peercoin was to address a number of perceived shortcomings of Bitcoin, including energy efficiency, security and sustainability, decentralization and long-term viability.

Essentially it was designed as an enhanced replacement for Bitcoin. As such, it was originally forked from Bitcoin and uses the same UTXO style blockchain. However, Peercoin's code was modified to introduce Proof-of-Stake as its primary consensus protocol. The next section explains how this makes for a better blockchain.

Given that Peercoin uses most of the same code, it can easily port new features from Bitcoin and utilize any of the supporting infrastructure, including tech advancements like Taproot or Lightning Network. Peercoin is the only Proof-of-Stake blockchain that uses modern Bitcoin code, making it the perfect drop-in replacement.

Peercoin also has a dedicated community, is actively developed, fairly distributed, has low barriers of participation, can do everything that Bitcoin does, minus the 13 TWh of energy usage, and it's not a scam.

YFDAI is an entire permission less DeFi ecosystem that combines Staking & Farming services and soon, Lending/Borrowing services, SafePredict, and Insurance together with their own DEX called SafeSwap and their own LaunchPad where legitimate projects in the DeFi space can launch their new vetted projects with contract audits, locked liquidity and locked dev tokens in time release smart contracts.  Whereas other DeFi protocols rely upon minting new tokens to sustain their staking and farming rewards, YFDAI has allocated tokens for these products which will be replenished with fees generated by the ecosystem. YFDAI also has a deflationary burn mechanism built into the platform that will ultimately reduce the total supply to just 13,950 tokens.

YFDAI’s mission is to clean up the DeFi space by de-risking the purchase of new projects by performing due diligence vetting and requiring adherence to the same protocols that YFDAI itself adhered to on their launch.  YFDAI’s motto is ‘no more exit scams or rug pulls.’

High Performance Blockchain is the first permissionless public blockchain to innovate with hardware acceleration and provably random numbers:

acceleration delivers fast, ultra low-fee, on-chain transactions

provably random numbers support 100% fairness

HPB (the coin) is used to pay transaction gas fees and to reward node operators.
