Frequently asked questions
Swarm provides various base layer services for web3, including distributed storage, content distribution, node-to-node messaging, media streaming, decentralized database services, and scalable state-channel infrastructure.
Swarm ensures fault tolerance through cross-node replication and erasure coding. Cross-node replication ensures that data is replicated across multiple nodes, so even if one node goes offline, the data remains available. Erasure coding breaks data into smaller fragments and distributes them across multiple nodes, allowing for data recovery even if some nodes become unavailable. This redundancy ensures continued data delivery and zero downtime. Additionally, Swarm is designed to be DDoS resistant by leveraging decentralized peer-to-peer networks that mitigate DDoS attack vectors.
