You might want to reconsider your name:

Also https://yggdrasil-network.github.io — but tbf both the linux distro, as well as the overlay network are niches. Pretty sure there are much more well known projects with the same name.
What surprised me was that Yggdrasil Linux is apparently still alive, though there's been little Github activity and none since April 2022:

Still, the name is fairly likely to cause confusion.

Also it kind of sounds like a birth control drug to me. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, insurrection, and trouble pronouncing things.
Vaguely, yes, though the origin is more aboreal and mythological, likely accounting for its popularity as a product/project name:
