Swarm<br />

Swarm is a distributed storage platform and content distribution service, a native base layer service of the <strong>Ethereum</strong><br />

web 3 stack. The primary objective of Swarm is to provide a sufficiently decentralized and redundant store of<br />

<strong>Ethereum</strong>’s public record, in particular to store and distribute dapp code and data as well as block chain data.<br />

From an economic point of view, it allows participants to efficiently pool their storage and bandwidth resources in<br />

order to provide the aforementioned services to all participants.<br />

From the end user’s perspective, Swarm is not that different from WWW, except that uploads are not to a specific<br />

server. The objective is to peer-to-peer storage and serving solution that is DDOS-resistant, zero-downtime, faulttolerant<br />

and censorship-resistant as well as self-sustaining due to a built-in incentive system which uses peer to<br />

peer accounting and allows trading resources for payment. Swarm is designed to deeply integrate with the devp2p<br />

multiprotocol network layer of <strong>Ethereum</strong> as well as with the <strong>Ethereum</strong> blockchain for domain name resolution,<br />

service payments and content availability insurance.<br />
