Mysterium Network - 2025 Company Profile, Funding & Competitors

Company Details

Mysterium claims to be developing an open source, a decentralized marketplace that enables individuals to purchase unused network bandwidth from service providers using digital tokens and a smart contract on ethereum. The platform would enable "providers" and "consumers" to engage in a bidding platform that allows individuals to subscribe to various network service providers and use the web at heightened levels of privacy. Unlike Tor, Mysterium would integrate a commercial angle that involves individuals being able to lease out their excess network bandwidth or being able to purchase it from another party. The marketplace component would lead to active competition amongst service providers, thereby ensuring the best prices for consumers seeking to hide their IP addresses. The founders claim to offer superior encryption in comparison with Tor and aim to go commercially live by 2020.
