# Overview

## What is Lumerin Protocol and the proxy-router's role in helping to solve this problem?

* In the Yellowstone compute model paper, the author describes the "Router" as a software application that has MOR address and negotiates the 2-sided market between Users and Providers.  
* The Morpheus Router is highly parallel to the function the Lumerin Protocol Proxy Router provides in the Hashpower marketplace which brokers a 2-sided marketplace between Hashpower Sellers and Hashpower Buyers
* There is a natural fit for the Lumerin based Smart Contract marketplace,  and secure-tcp routing of data between providers, validators and users.

## What problem is Morpheus trying to solve?

  * Key items from the [FAQ](https://github.com/MorpheusAIs/Docs/blob/main/!KEYDOCS%20README%20FIRST!/FAQs.md#whitepaper-tldr): 
    1. Access to AI has become fundamental to modern life.
    2. Large centralized companies currently gatekeep access to AI, they actively restrict access & use censorship.
    3. Having a personal AI that is open source, decentralized, and permissionless fixes this.
    4. Morpheus provides users a decentralized, permissionless, personal AI.
    5. Decentralized, permissionless financial rails is also required for true AI freedom.
    6. Morpheus uses crypto-based financial rails to reward AI & Smart Agent providers.
    7. Follow the white rabbit. Free your mind.
