How Swarm works

How It Works

Swarm delivers a decentralized cloud purpose-built for AI, leveraging a unique combination of blockchain technology and idle compute resources across the globe.

Key Features of the Swarm Network:

  • Global Compute Pool: Swarm taps into underutilized GPUs, CPUs, and storage, integrating them into a cohesive network.

  • Super-Nodes: High-capacity nodes are strategically located at telco data centers, submarine cable landing stations, independent data centers, crypto mining rigs, and consumer GPUs, creating a powerful, distributed infrastructure.

  • Blockchain Secured: Resources and transactions are managed securely through blockchain, ensuring trustless governance, transparent operations, and decentralized control.

  • Pay-Per-Use Model: Users only pay for what they use, enabling cost-effective scalability without long-term contracts or upfront commitments.

By combining these elements, Swarm provides a serverless, infinitely scalable cloud optimized for AI workloads. It’s a solution designed not just for today’s needs but for the demands of the next decade.
