- **MycoVerse** = the universe in which our decentalized sovereign apps exist.
- **MycoWizard** = our personal AI assistent who deploys, monitors and manages our applications inside the MycoVerse.
- **Mycelium** = our network which connects any app to any participant in the MycoVerse.
- **FungiStor** = the content delivery & storage system, data can never be lost and distributed freely.
- **MycoSphere** = a group of people collaborating, communicating together, serves as a circle of trust
- **MycoApp** = an application as deployed in the MycoVerse
- **MycoNaut** = the person being active inside the MycoVerse

### Requirements

1. **Decentralized**: No single authority controls the network, enhancing security, censorship resistance, and user autonomy.
2. **Safe**: We should not have to worry about our safety.
3. **Peer-to-Peer**: Infrastructure is distributed across nodes contributed by individuals or organizations, removing dependency on centralized data centers.
4. **Incentivized**: Participants are rewarded for contributing resources (bandwidth, storage, computing) to the network, fostering growth and sustainability.
5. **Interoperable**: Open protocols and standards ensure that different networks and systems can work seamlessly together.
