About Swarm

Swarm is a decentralized storage and communication network developed by the Ethereum Foundation as complementary infrastructure to Ethereum. Designed from the early days of Ethereum alongside Whisper (messaging) and the EVM, Swarm provides censorship-resistant, decentralized storage for Web3 applications. Node operators store data chunks and earn BZZ tokens for providing storage capacity and bandwidth. Applications upload data to Swarm and pay BZZ for storage, creating an economic incentive for decentralized data preservation. Swarm's design prioritizes data availability through erasure coding and redundant storage across many nodes.

2021
BZZ token becomes available on major exchanges after the Coinlist launch.
2022
Swarm expands node operator ecosystem and improves data availability and retrieval performance.
2023
The Swarm Foundation continues development with improvements to storage proofs and data integrity systems.

How to Swap BZZ

Swapping Swarm (BZZ) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since BZZ is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select BZZ as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send BZZ to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.
