Project Mycelium Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for Project Mycelium.

This site is organized around the core building blocks of the Mycelium stack:

  • Network – The Mycelium IPv6 overlay network for secure, encrypted connectivity.
  • Cloud – Mycelium Cloud for Kubernetes clusters on decentralized infrastructure.
  • VDC – Virtual Data Centers for full cloud environments you control.
  • AI Agent Framework – Mycelium Agents (coming 2026) for sovereign, distributed AI.
  • Hosters – Individuals and organizations who contribute capacity to the grid.

Use the top navigation to jump directly to any of these areas.

Who This Documentation Is For​

  • Developers who want to build on the Mycelium Network and Mycelium Cloud.
  • Organizations who need sovereign cloud, data residency, and compliance.
  • Hosters (formerly called "farmers" in legacy grid docs) who want to run nodes and earn rewards.

High-Level Architecture​

At a high level, Project Mycelium combines:

  1. Mycelium Network
    A cryptographic IPv6 overlay that connects devices, nodes, and clusters in a secure peer-to-peer mesh.

  2. Mycelium Cloud
    A platform to deploy Kubernetes clusters on Mycelium's decentralized infrastructure, using Mycelium Network for connectivity.

  3. Virtual Data Centers (VDCs)
    Composable environments built on top of Mycelium Cloud for applications, databases, internal services, and full personal/organizational clouds.

  4. AI Agent Framework
    A forthcoming framework that lets you run private, distributed AI agents inside environments you control.

  5. Hosters
    Node operators who provide compute, storage, and network capacity to the ecosystem and earn rewards for doing so.

Each section of this documentation dives into one of these layers.

Where to Start​
