Description

Ethersphere is the organization behind the Swarm project, which is supported by the Swarm Foundation (SF), a Swiss-based non-profit established in 2021. Swarm is an open-source, censorship-resistant platform that provides decentralized storage and communication infrastructure for a sovereign digital society. It operates as a system of peer-to-peer networked nodes, designed to be the base layer for a fair data economy and Web3. The network's native token, BZZ, facilitates the economy by allowing users to pay for storage and compensating node operators for providing the service. The Swarm Foundation, along with the Swarm Association, fosters the ecosystem's growth through grants and other initiatives, promoting digital freedom and the development of free open-source software.
