Swarm is a decentralized data storage and distribution network built on Ethereum.
What is Swarm?
Swarm is a decentralized, distributed data storage and retrieval network built on Ethereum, powering open, serverless, and permissionless apps. Its peer-to-peer architecture provides fault-tolerant redundant storage with local replication, ensuring data availability even in the face of node dropouts. Swarm offers privacy-first cryptographic support, DDOS resistance that grows with every additional node, and credible neutrality by design. Swarm works with other Ethereum-native protocols offering payments and domain name services, and provides a full base-layer stack including the Bee client, Bee.js, Swarm-CLI, and the Bee API for developers building decentralized applications.
