We challenge you to uncensor the world.

We live in a world where the free flow of information is no longer a given. Let’s return to the initial promise of the internet by building Mysterium Network applications that can’t be censored.

$10,000 in cash prizes and experiences up for grabs.

iOS Challenge

First, check out our reference implementation on Android. Second – do the same, but for iOS. You will be judged on how easy the application is to use and how cohesively design elements work together.

Browser Plugin Challenge

Are you brave enough to tackle this one? Winning applications will not just contest, but combine current solutions in the market to give consumers a no-brainer privacy solution. Our current framework does not allow easy discovery of nodes and identification of the right node for proxying traffic, a winning solution will also solve this problem.

Android TV Challenge

Bring Mysterium Network to the big screen. This challenge seeks a layout adaptation of MysteriumVPN for television. Build an intuitive and polished Android TV Application so that users can flix and chill, forgetting they’ve got a VPN running in the background. Auto connectors should work conveniently with television controls

Or you can simply fork and adapt our android mobile app and make it work for Android TVs. 

Bitcoin’s Lightning Network Challenge

Help us make lighting network payments available on Mysterium Network so that VPN users can pay nodes in bitcoin as they go. Mysterium Accountant uses HTLC contracts which are compatible with ones used on Lightning Network. For this challenge a well thought through technical paper or minimal prototype could be enough to win.
