Anyone has any links or good intro videos about what is Hydra-mode?

Reading through the article, it seems the domain name is not publicly exposed and a new domain (?) is created on-the-fly? I am not sure if I understand how it works. But every user who logs in with a inter-mediator would get his own domain and that's their strategy to keep shop open for now.

Probably just a reference of Greek mythology. You chop one head, two grow. An analogue of spawning multiple domains a site is taken down.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra

Later versions of the Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow two heads.

The crucial line in that article; amusingly enough, it almost reads like a changelog entry.
