-- Mycelium is the Network Layer
-- 3Nodes are the nodes running Zero-OS which is our own operating System providing compute, storage and network capacity
-
-### 3Nodes
-
-The network of nodes which make up the cloud. Each node provides compute, storage and network capacity.
-
-![](img/3node.png)
-
-A cloud needs hardware/servers to function. Servers of all shapes and sizes can be added. The production of Cloud Capacity is called Farming and parties who add these servers to the grid are called Farmers.
-
-Farmers download the Zero-OS operating system and boot their servers. Once booted, these servers become 3Nodes. The 3Nodes will register themselves in a blockchain. Once registered, the capacity of the 3Nodes will become available. This enables a peer2peer environment for people or companies to reserve their Internet Capacity directly from the hardware but yet allowing full control by commercial parties if that would be required.

+# Hero as Virtual System Administrator and more
+
+![](img/3bot_virtualsysadmin.png)
+
+Every individual has a personal Hero—a virtual assistant that manages your digital life and serves as your system administrator for AI or Edge Cloud workloads.
+
+These Heroes communicate with each other over the private Mycelium network, which offers a secure message bus for scalable and secure communication.
+
+A Hero can store an unlimited amount of information, and only your Hero has access to this data, deciding how and when it can be shared with other Heroes or AI systems.
+
+Active 24/7, your Hero continuously monitors your IT infrastructure. If something goes wrong, the Hero will automatically resolve the issue, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted service.
+
+
+### Natural Evolution
+
+![](img/hero_archit.png)
+
+
+
+We believe this represents the natural evolution away from reliance on centralized services.
+
+With millions of Heroes working together, can form a collective global intelligence, leveraging various tools to interact with existing services on behalf of their users within all safety of our own sovereignity.

+
+#### Mycelium Routers
+
+Mycelium is an end-to-end encrypted overlay meshed wireless network with agents available for any desktop and mobile operating system.
+
+We have also created a dedicated Mycelium Router. Mycelium Routers seamlessly integrate with our Mycelium network technology, efficiently selecting the shortest path between all participants.
+
+These Mycelium Routers are compatible not only with Satelite, Wi-Fi but also with 4G and 5G networks, ensuring versatile connectivity options.
+
+The Mycelium Routers can be installed in locations with substantial network capacity, allowing everyone to bridge between the current Internet and the overlay Mycelium network.
+
+#### Web Gateways
+
+The Web Gateway serves as a mechanism to connect the private (overlay) networks (Mycelium) to the open Internet.
+
+By not providing an open and direct path into the private network, many malicious phishing and hacking attempts are stopped at the Web Gateway level for container applications.
+
+The Web Gateways provide HTTP(S) and, in the future, other web services, which get forwarded to the relevant service exposing itself over Mycelium. This setup offers multiple access points to various backend services.

+# Government, Commercial hosters, Telco and Enterprise Roadmap
+
+We are working on our Government, Commercial hosters, Telco and Enterprise Release of our Technology.
+
+> 90% of the work has been done as part of our base offering but we need additional features for enterprise
+
+## Enterprise User Interface
+
+The current user interface is designed for an open-source tech audience. For enterprise use, we need a different approach to meet the unique needs of enterprise environments:
+
+- **Private or Hybrid Context**: All operations should be conducted within a private or hybrid cloud context to ensure security and compliance.
+- **Enhanced Monitoring**: We need more comprehensive monitoring dashboard screens to provide real-time insights and analytics.
+- **Identity Management Integration**: Integration with enterprise-grade Identity Management solutions, such as LDAP, Active Directory, and SSO (Single Sign-On), is essential.
+- **Enterprise-Friendly UI**: The user interface needs to be redesigned to be more intuitive and tailored to enterprise users, focusing on usability and efficiency.
+- **Token Irrelevance**: Tokens are not a priority in this context and should be de-emphasized in the solution.
+
+## Windows Support
+
+The virtual Machine technology we use does support windows, but we need to do some further integration.
+
+## High Performance Network Integration
+
+- **Local Network Integration**: Zero-OS is designed to support a wide range of technologies, though additional integration work is required to optimize performance.
+- **High-Speed Backbones**: We aim to support high-speed Ethernet and RDMA (Infiniband) based backbones.
+- **Instrumentation Enhancements**: Additional instrumentation needs to be incorporated into Zero-OS to achieve optimal performance.
+- **Target Performance**: Our goal is to achieve network speeds exceeding 100 Gbps.
+- **Custom Integration**: We offer integration with selected network equipment from our customers, accommodating custom integration requirements.
+
+## High Performance Storage Block Device Integration
+
+Next to the existing already integrated storage backends we want to support a high performance redundant storage block device.
+
+- High performance redundant storage network
+- Supports our high speed backbone as defined above
+- Scalable to thousands of machines per cluster.
+- Replication capability between zones.
+- **Custom Integration**: We offer integration with selected storage equipment from our customers, accommodating custom integration requirements.
+
+## Service Level Management
+
+- The system will have hooks and visualization for achievement of Service levels.
+- This will allow a commercial service provider to get to higher revenue and better uptime management.
+
+## Support for Liquid Cooling tanks
+
+- Do a test setup in liquid cooling rack or node, we can use our selfhealing capabilities to manage better.
+- Is Integration effort, not really code changes

+# The Cloud: Beyond Cost – A Business Perspective
+
+## Introduction
+
+The transition to cloud computing isn't solely driven by cost savings.
+
+ While affordability is a factor, the primary appeal of cloud services lies in their reliability, scalability, and performance. 
+ 
+ This parallels the concept of insurance, where customers are willing to pay a premium for the assurance of superior service and uptime. 
+ 
+ In the decentralized infrastructure (DePIN) space, establishing trust and reliability is super important, but not enough available in current offerings.
+
+## Cost vs. Quality
+
+### Reliability and Uptime
+
+Customers often prefer to pay a higher price for cloud services that guarantee better uptime and reliability. 
+
+For example, paying $10 per terabyte for a service with stellar uptime and customer support is more appealing than a $5 per terabyte service with frequent downtimes and minimal support. The value proposition lies in uninterrupted access to data and services, which is critical for business operations.
+
+### Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
+
+Service Level Agreements (SLAs) play a crucial role in this decision-making process.
+
+ SLAs provide a clear, contractual guarantee of the service levels customers can expect. Companies offering robust SLAs with high uptime guarantees, fast response times, and comprehensive support are more attractive, even at a higher cost.
+
+## Decentralized Infrastructure (DePIN) and Trust
+
+### Challenges in DePIN
+
+One of the significant challenges in DePIN is ensuring that customers can trust decentralized hosters. 
+
+Unlike traditional centralized providers, decentralized hosters need to establish credibility and reliability in a market that is inherently less controlled.
+
+### Farming Pools and Legal Decentralization
+
+#### Formation of Farming Pools
+
+Hosters can group together in farming pools, creating a collaborative environment where resources and responsibilities are shared. These pools can offer combined storage and computational power, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
+
+#### Security Token Offerings (STOs)
+
+To fund these farming pools, we can utilize Security Token Offerings (STOs). Investors can buy tokens, representing shares in these pools, thus promoting legal decentralization. This model not only democratizes investment but also ensures that the operations of these pools are transparent and regulated.
+
+### Transparency and Legal Assurance
+
+#### Open SLAs
+
+Each farming pool must be explicit about the SLAs they can deliver. Transparency in service commitments ensures that customers know what performance and reliability to expect. This openness is critical in building trust in a decentralized environment.
+
+#### Legal Blockchain Contracts
+
+Blockchain contracts must be legally binding in the real world. These contracts should clearly define the terms of service, dispute resolution mechanisms, and compliance with relevant regulations. Legal enforceability ensures that customers can trust the decentralized hosters to honor their commitments.
