Description
Swarm provides decentralised infrastructure for storing and transferring data through a distributed peer-to-peer network. Its stack includes the Bee client, Bee API, Bee-js library, Swarm-CLI, and desktop tooling, enabling developers and node operators to build, host, upload, and retrieve censorship-resistant dapps and content. The network uses the BZZ token for storage services and node-operator incentives, while the Swarm Foundation supports ecosystem development through grants and community initiatives.Grant Funding
