You can consult the [Mycelium hosted public nodes](../experts/04_additional-information.md) to find more peers.
For example, if you want to add the node with the IPv4 address `5.78.122.16` with the tcp port `9651`, simply add the following line then start or restart the app.
```
tcp://5.78.122.16:9651
```
## Mycelium Address
When you use the Mycelium app, you are assigned a unique Mycelium address.
To copy the Mycelium address, click on the button on the right of the address.

## Deploy on the Grid with Mycelium
Once you've installed Mycelium, you can deploy on the ThreeFold Grid and connect to your workload using Mycelium.
As a starter, you can explore the ThreeFold Grid and deploy apps on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/dashboard/dashboard.html) using Mycelium to connect.
