### Why? ### The Current Problem
The current centralized state of the internet poses significant security risks, with compromised routers and growing cyber threats (trillions of USD per year now), making everyone vulnerable to hacking. Industry responses involve disabling original features, hindering true peer-to-peer connectivity and personal server capabilities. Workarounds and system hacks have become the norm.

### What? ### Introducing Mycelium
Mycelium is an overlay network layer designed to enhance the existing internet infrastructure while remaining compatible with all current applications. It empowers true peer-to-peer communication. By installing a Network Agent on your device, you gain the ability to securely connect with any other participant on this network. Mycelium intelligently reroutes traffic to maintain connectivity taking location of you and your peer into consideration.
