Mysterium

MYST is the utility token at the heart of Mysterium Network. This cryptocurrency acts like digital fuel, powering various functions and applications while keeping the network secure and decentralized.

If you’re using the dVPN as a consumer, you pay with MYST token. If you’re a node (provider of the VPN service) you receive MYST. When you first sign up for the network, users need a little MYST to receive and verify their unique identity. Once you receive your unique ID/address, you can start to receive and send payments. Mysterium has designed its own unique P2P payments infrastructure, the Hermes protocol, to facilitate these fast, anonymous and censorship-resistant micropayments.

MYST is an ERC-20 token with addition of ERC-2612 (the `permit` function), which was introduced with the DAI token and popularized by the Uniswap
