Who we are

The people behind the protocol

Mycelium is not a company. Not a startup. Not a product. It is a protocol, created by people who live in a sustainable community and share what they have learned in practice.

What we are

We are members of a sustainable community. We live in a model that works differently from the market. We share our resources with each other – time, skills, space, knowledge. We have been doing this for years.

We created the Mycelium protocol ourselves – not as a theory, but as a description of what we do. We wrote down the principles, the structure and the practices we use.

A shared resource, not property

The initial resource with which the platform started – time, technology, infrastructure – was invested by the founders. They took a risk: the community could grow, but it could also fall apart. If it had fallen apart, they would have lost what they had invested.

Today that resource is a shared resource of the community. It is not owned by anyone – neither by the founders nor by the members. Everyone who gains access to it makes a contribution – financial or through a real resource – which restores the risk taken by the founders.

Once you are in, the founders participate in exchange under the same rules as any other member – through SV. There are no privileges, no hierarchy, no owner from outside.

There are two equal paths for contribution. A financial contribution of €50 or a contribution through a real resource (50 SV). Both lead to full membership with equal rights.

What we are not

Why we created Mycelium

Because we have lived in both models. We know the market one – with its advantages and its failures. And we know the community one – with its requirements and its results.

We know that the alternative is possible. But we also know that it does not happen automatically. It requires abilities that not everyone has – and which do not develop on their own.

What we expect from you

One thing – to continue, if you are ready.

This showcase is public and remains public. You can read, compare, leave. We will not chase you with emails and advertising.

If you find meaning in what you read, and want to continue – become a member. If not – that is perfectly fine too.
