Swarm ($BZZ) is a decentralized storage and communication system on Ethereum.
Swarm is a system of peer-to-peer networked nodes that create a decentralised storage and communication service. The system is economically self-sustaining due to a built-in incentive system enforced through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
Swarm’s mission is to shape the future towards a self-sovereign global society and permis-sionless open markets by providing scalable base-layer infrastructure for the decentralised internet. Swarm’s vision is to extend the blockchain with peer-to-peer storage and communication to realise the world computer that can serve as an operating system and deployment environment for decentralised applications. Swarm provides continuity of service and resilience against network outages or targeted denial of service attacks. As a platform for permissionless publication, Swarm fosters freedom of information. With its exceptional privacy features like anonymous browsing, deniable storage, untraceable messaging and file representation formats that leak no metadata, Swarm responds to the growing demand for security on the web.
