Swarm Network seeks to offer a decentralized protocol designed to convert off-chain data into verifiable on-chain information in real time. ^[1]

Overview

Launched in 2024, Swarm Network is a decentralized protocol that seeks to validate and preserve verifiable on-chain information by combining AI agents and human collectives. It utilizes a Truth Protocol, which facilitates decentralized Information Rollups to verify real-world claims. Users and applications access a network of AI agents and human validators, collaborating to reach consensus on data accuracy.

By integrating AI processing, human input, and zero-knowledge proofs, Swarm Network aims to provide a trust layer for Web3 applications, focusing on scalability, privacy, and transparency. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Architecture

Swarm Network's architecture aims to convert raw off-chain data into verifiable, on-chain information through a series of specialized layers that function together. ^[2]

Application Layer

The architecture of Swarm Network includes an Application Layer that encompasses user-facing platforms like Rollup News (social verification), Swarm Markets (prediction platform), and Agent BUIDL (AI development).

It also provides integration points, such as social platform APIs, DApp connections, and developer tools, aiming to facilitate interaction and functionality within the network. ^{[1] [2]}

Truth Protocol

The Truth Protocol in Swarm Network includes several core components: a state machine, consensus engine, zero-knowledge (ZK) proof system, and token economics. These components are designed to support protocol functions such as claim registration, verification processing, result publication, and reward distribution.

The protocol aims to provide a system for processing and validating claims with transparency and verifiability. ^{[1] [2]}

AI Agent Layer

The AI Agent Layer of Swarm Network consists of interconnected AI agents, or "Swarms," that aim to collaboratively analyze and verify data in a decentralized ecosystem. It utilizes multi-agent coordination, parallel processing, and cross-verification to enhance data handling efficiency.

Agents focus on tasks such as data collection, pattern analysis, and truth discovery. The system aims to improve scalability and accuracy through collective intelligence and allows users to deploy and customize agents, with incentives based on their verification work.

This layer also seeks to integrate with decentralized applications (DApps), providing real-time, verifiable outputs for functions such as automated payouts and on-chain voting. ^{[1] [2]}

ZK-Graph Layer

The ZK-Graph Layer in Swarm Network aims to enhance privacy and enable complex data analysis. It employs zero-knowledge proofs, selective disclosure, and secure data management to protect privacy while facilitating data processing.

Its functions include knowledge mapping, relationship tracking, and pattern recognition, designed to identify connections within data while ensuring privacy in a decentralized context. ^{[1] [2]}

Products

Rollup News

Swarm Network’s Rollup News is a real-time fact-checking tool integrated into platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Users can tag @Rollup_News with “rollup” to request verification of claims, receiving analysis on source credibility, truth metrics, and context.

AI agents process claims, while human validators assess accuracy. Verified claims are recorded on-chain using zero-knowledge proofs to maintain transparency and privacy.

Key features include social media integration, collaboration between AI and human input, on-chain verification, and a reward system for accuracy. Rollup News aims to support informed discussions and reduce misinformation. ^{[1] [2]}

Swarm Markets

Swarm Markets is a prediction market platform integrated with Telegram and X, where users can forecast outcomes based on verified information. It facilitates automated and micro-market creation, real-time data validation, and AI-supported resolutions.

The platform seeks to combine collective input with verified data to support a more reliable and informed approach to market predictions. ^{[1] [2]}

Agent Buidl

Agent Buidl is a no-code platform that enables users to create, deploy, and customize AI agents for verification tasks. It provides tools for building agents, managing swarms, and deploying specialized validators, along with a marketplace for monetizing agent services.

The platform aims to broaden access to the Swarm ecosystem, allowing more participants to contribute to collective intelligence. ^{[1] [2]}

Use Cases

Swarm Network can be applied in various areas:

• Financial Transparency: It aims to verify real-time metrics, analyze cross-chain data, and detect market manipulation.
• Governance & Policy: It seeks to verify DAO proposals, support community oversight, and track policy compliance.
• Media & Content: It aims to authenticate news, verify social media content, and track content attribution. ^[2]

Tokenomics

Swarm Network Token

Swarm Network's native token aims to align economic incentives with accuracy, integrity, and decentralized governance within the ecosystem. ^{[2] [4]}

Utility

Swarm Network’s native token supports key functions within its decentralized infrastructure:

• Transaction Fees: The token is used to cover gas fees, maintain network security, and encourage validator participation.
• Verification Fees: Token payments are made for accessing verified data, contributing to Agent Operation Pools and staking rewards.
• Staking & Governance: Tokens can be staked to secure the network, influence protocol settings, and manage the DAO Treasury for grants and proposals.
• Licensing & Customization: The token is used to unlock features and enable customization of AI agents through Agent BUIDL.
• Access & Premium Services: Some advanced services, such as specialized data feeds, may require token staking or holding.
• Ecosystem Incentives: The token aims to incentivize user engagement, bounties, and continuous network development. ^{[2] [6]}

The total maximum supply of Swarm tokens is 10,000,000,

1. The allocation is as follows:

• Agent Licenses: 30% designated for a rewards pool for Agent License holders, distributed via daily emissions.
• DAO Treasury: 5% reserved for governance, grants, and partnerships controlled by the DAO.
• Community Reserve: 20% allocated for community incentives, expansions, and bounties.
• Ecosystem Incubation: 10% dedicated to supporting new dApps, products, and collaborations within the Swarm ecosystem.
