**Decentralized Infrastructure Technology for Everyone, Everywhere**
|
||||
|
||||
Mycelium is a comprehensive DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) system designed to scale to planetary level, capable of providing resilient services with end-to-end encryption, and enabling any machine and human to communicate efficiently over optimal paths.
|
||||
|
||||
Mycelium is Compatible with Kubernetes, Docker, VMs, Web2, Web3 – and building towards Web4.
|
||||
|
||||
## Terminology Clarification
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mycelium Tech**: The core technology stack (ZOS, QSS, Mycelium Network)
|
||||
- **ThreeFold Grid**: The decentralized infrastructure offering built on Mycelium Tech
|
||||
- **GeoMind**: The commercial tech company operating tier-S/H datacenters with Mycelium
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Decentralized Infrastructure Matters
|
||||
|
||||
Traditional internet infrastructure is burdened with inefficiencies, risks, and growing dependency on centralization.
|
||||
|
||||
### **The Challenges We Face**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Centralization Risks**: Digital infrastructure is controlled by a few corporations, compromising autonomy and creating single points of failure.
|
||||
- **Economic Inefficiency**: Current infrastructure models extract value from local economies, funneling resources to centralized providers.
|
||||
- **Outdated Protocols**: TCP/IP, the internet's core protocol, was never designed for modern needs like dynamic networks, security, and session management.
|
||||
- **Geographic Inefficiency**: Over 70% of the world relies on distant infrastructure, making access expensive, unreliable, and dependent on fragile global systems.
|
||||
- **Limited Access**: Over 50% of the world lacks decent internet access, widening opportunity gaps.
|
||||
|
||||
Mycelium addresses these challenges through a complete, integrated technology stack designed from first principles.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Mycelium Provides
|
||||
|
||||
Mycelium is unique in its ability to deliver an integrated platform covering all three fundamental layers of internet infrastructure:
|
||||
|
||||
### **Compute Layer** - ZOS
|
||||
- Autonomous, stateless operating system
|
||||
- MyImage architecture (up to 100x faster deployment)
|
||||
- Deterministic, cryptographically verified deployment
|
||||
- Supports Kubernetes, containers, VMs, and Linux workloads
|
||||
- Self-healing with no manual maintenance required
|
||||
|
||||
### **Storage Layer** - Quantum Safe Storage (QSS)
|
||||
- Mathematical encoding with forward error correction
|
||||
- 20% overhead vs 400% for traditional replication
|
||||
- Zero-knowledge design: storage nodes can't access data
|
||||
- Petabyte-to-zetabyte scalability
|
||||
- Self-healing bitrot protection
|
||||
|
||||
### **Network Layer** - Mycelium Network
|
||||
- End-to-end encrypted IPv6 overlay
|
||||
- Shortest-path optimization
|
||||
- Multi-protocol support (TCP, QUIC, UDP, satellite, wireless)
|
||||
- Peer-to-peer architecture with no central points of failure
|
||||
- Distributed secure name services
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Differentiators
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Mycelium | Traditional Cloud |
|
||||
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| **Architecture** | Distributed peer-to-peer, no central control | Centralized control planes |
|
||||
| **Deployment** | Stateless network boot, zero-install | Local image installation |
|
||||
| **Storage Efficiency** | 20% overhead | 300-400% overhead |
|
||||
| **Security** | End-to-end encrypted, zero-knowledge design | Perimeter-based, trust intermediaries |
|
||||
| **Energy** | Up to 10x more efficient | Higher consumption |
|
||||
| **Autonomy** | Self-healing, autonomous agents | Requires active management |
|
||||
| **Geographic Awareness** | Shortest path routing, location-aware | Static routing, no geographic optimization |
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Status
|
||||
|
||||
- **Deployed**: 20+ countries, 30,000+ vCPU
|
||||
- **Proof of Concept**: Technology validated in production
|
||||
- **Commercialization**: Beginning phase with enterprise roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
## Technology Maturity
|
||||
|
||||
- **All our core cloud technology**: Production
|
||||
- **Quantum Safe Storage**: Production (6+ years)
|
||||
- **Mycelium Network**: Beta
|
||||
- **Deterministic Deployment**: OEM only
|
||||
- **FungiStor**: H1 2026
|
||||
|
||||
Mycelium represents not just an upgrade to existing infrastructure, but a fundamental rethinking of how internet infrastructure should be built—distributed, autonomous, secure, and efficient.
