Nodes in the Mysterium Network can be used for a variety of safe and legitimate purposes.

Business and research use cases

Our business and research partners rely on the network for:

  • Market research and competitive analysis

  • SEO and website performance monitoring

  • Aggregating flight prices, travel deals, and other public data

  • Cybersecurity testing and research

Everyday user use cases

We also work with VPN services so that regular people can connect to your node. They may use it to:

  • Access local content like streaming services or social media

  • Read websites such as Wikipedia in regions where it is blocked

  • Enhance their privacy when browsing online

  • Play online games

What data does MystNodes collect?

MystNodes does not collect any user data from people who connect through your node. The only information we need from you as a node runner is:

  • Your email

  • Your IP address

  • Your payout wallet address

This limited data is only used to link your node to the network and process your earnings.
