# 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

- If you want **secure networking between devices and clusters**:
  - Start with **[Network](/network)**.

- If you want to **deploy Kubernetes clusters on decentralized infrastructure**:
  - Start with **[Cloud](/cloud)**.

- If you are a **hoster / farmer** interested in running nodes and earning SPORE:
  - Start with **[Hosters](/hosters)**.

- If you want to understand how **Virtual Data Centers** and the **AI Agent Framework** fit in:
  - Read the overviews for **[VDC](/vdc)** and **[AI Agent Framework](/ai-agent-framework)**.
