How it all works

Swarm is built on a modified version of the Waves blockchain, incorporating several key enhancements and custom features:

1

Block Time:

15 seconds, which is 4 times faster than original Waves, our legacy network

2

Address Prefix:

37xxxx… , easily distinguishable for SWRM addresses compared to 3pxxx… for Waves

3

Activated Features:

16 forward thinking features, activated by default at genesis

About Swarm ($SWRM)

The blockchain industry continues to evolve rapidly, with new platforms emerging to address the limitations of existing networks. Swarm ($SWRM) enters this landscape as a purpose-built blockchain that combines the proven foundation of the Waves ecosystem with custom enhancements designed to meet the demands of modern decentralized applications (dApps) and financial protocols.

Our whitepaper details the technical specifications, economic model, and strategic vision of the Swarm network, offering insights into how it aims to position itself as a leading blockchain platform in the years to come.

Cross-chain Connectivity

Swarm introduces an innovative approach to cross-chain connectivity, while also leveraging secure telegram bots as intermediaries for token transfers between networks.

Liquidity and Profit

Swarm places a strong emphasis on liquidity provision and sustainable profit generation to support the ecosystem's growth and stability.

Why us

Consensus Mechanism and Node Operation

Swarm employs a permissioned Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism during its initial phase, with plans to gradually transition to a more decentralized model over time.

Key aspects of the consensus and node operation include:

Initial Node Operators:

Approximately 10 trusted node operators, each subject to KYC procedures

Minimum Liquidity Contribution:

2,500 USD per operator, representing a 2.5% stake in the network

Gradual Decentralization:

A phased approach to increasing the number of node operators and reducing centralization

Source Code Access:

Initially closed-source, with nodes and explorer publicly accessible
