# LyuNet > LyuNet is a privacy-first distributed mesh network and unified settlement layer: list a node, pay in LYU, and turn idle bandwidth and compute into discoverable services. Connecting scattered resources with scattered demand LYU is an in-platform settlement unit only; it is not listed on external exchanges, not an investment, and not an on-chain token. ## Pages - [LyuNet — Distributed Mesh Network, Built & Shared Together](https://www.wecoo.cc/): LyuNet is a privacy-first distributed mesh network and unified settlement layer: list a node, pay in LYU, and turn idle bandwidth and compute into discoverable services. - [About LyuNet — Privacy-first P2P Network and Settlement](https://www.wecoo.cc/about): Learn about LyuNet: a privacy-first P2P mesh, decentralized catalog, and LYU ledger that connects scattered compute, bandwidth, and demand. ## Docs and software - [Docs](https://github.com/lyunet/lyunet/tree/master/docs): See the project repo for deployment, configuration, and API docs. - [API — platform and catalog API docs.](https://github.com/lyunet/lyunet/blob/master/docs/core/API_DOCUMENTATION_AND_OPENAPI.md): Docs follow the codebase; get the latest from the repo. - [Download](https://github.com/lyunet/lyunet/releases): Pick node type and platform; get builds from GitHub Releases. - [Platform & node owner — console, admin, and official site design.](https://github.com/lyunet/lyunet/blob/master/docs/platform/PLATFORM_AND_NODE_OWNER_DESIGN_AND_IMPLEMENTATION.md): Connecting scattered demand with scattered resources—so idle bandwidth and compute can be found, used, and paid for. ## Optional - [Full product description (Markdown)](https://www.wecoo.cc/llms-full.en.txt): Privacy-first P2P network and unified settlement platform - [简体中文简报](https://www.wecoo.cc/llms.txt): 简体中文简报
