Mysterium (MYST)

Mysterium is a cryptocurrency and a decentralized open-source platform designed to democratize the world of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). In their site, Mysterium describes itself as an open source network that allows nodes to rent unused network traffic while offering a secure connection to those in need. But the vision of the Mysterium Foundation for the network is even bigger. The foundation targets to make Mysterium a big marketplace where both clients can easily buy VPN services from network providers. The mandate of the development team revolves around peer2peer operations, smart contracts, state channels, and blockchain operations. This is why they have settled on a progressively improving model to deliver greater value to users and outdo competitors. The Mysterium project was founded by Robertas Visinkis, Paulius Mozulas, and Valdas Petrulis who wanted to promote a trustworthy and sustainable network that guarantees seamless access and protection for internet users. To make the goal a reality, Robertas and his team created the Mysterium Foundation that foresees the development of the network. Mysterium Network also partnered with other parties such as Bitcoin Suissie, TokenMarket, and MME to promote faster development. The price of Mysterium dropped by more than 2000% between June 2018 and August 2018. Though this was the trend reported in the market by most cryptocurrencies, the Mysterium foundation has demonstrated its commitment to growing the value of the platform through new features development.
