When you step away from the macro-outlook and dive deeper into the local person’s day-to-day activity, you will find goods and services available at every corner. However, what is stifling the people in that city, town or village is that they lack a medium of exchange in times of crisis. https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/the-final-countdown-announcing-the-4th-round-of-swarm-grant-recipients/ Thu, 21 Oct 2021 04:00:00 +0000 https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/the-final-countdown-announcing-the-4th-round-of-swarm-grant-recipients/ As any other, the world computer needs three main components to function: CPU, software and storage. Ethereum’s smart contracts and dApps represent the processor and software of that world computer. On the other hand, Swarm’s mission was always to provide storage functionality and extend the Ethereum blockchain into a fully-fledged computational environment. After all, what good is a computer that can’t store and access data? Together, they form a world computer as envisioned from the start and which serves as the basis of Web3. https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/deep-dive-dapplets/ Tue, 12 Oct 2021 22:00:00 +0000 https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/deep-dive-dapplets/ Dapplets is an Augmented Web Infrastructure built specifically for decentralised Apps, aka dapplets. Through augmentation, it will be possible to curate information from different sources to embed over popular platforms without any censorship. Web content and the progression of social media over the last decade has grown rapidly and changed the way ordinary people digest information. When the internet gave rise to this new way of receiving content it was becoming ever more apparent that through censorship the platforms themselves were in control of what was seen, heard or created. https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/deep-dive-zoomerok/ Wed, 06 Oct 2021 22:00:00 +0000 https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/deep-dive-zoomerok/ Empowering digital freedom by giving users full control over their data. As Swarm’s ecosystem expands and projects approach their release dates, the following post will introduce one of the grantee projects that is bringing the world closer to making a fair data economy a reality. What is Zoomerok? Igor Shadurin, founder and developer of Zoomerok, shares part of his role in the growth of this ecosystem by elaborating on his experience of developing a fair data web service. https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/live-long-and-prosper-announcing-the-third-round-of-swarm-grant-recipients/ Thu, 26 Aug 2021 04:00:00 +0000 https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2021/live-long-and-prosper-announcing-the-third-round-of-swarm-grant-recipients/ This year has seen the Swarm project advancing at great pace towards launch, and Swarm Association is excited to announce a new round of grant recipients that will be taking the network to new places. The projects reflect the common endeavours towards a fair data economy and it is exciting to see this growing ecosystem establishing itself among enthusiasts. What kind of projects are eligible to apply for a Swarm grant? https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2020/come-together-swarm-beta-wave-grant-recipients/ Wed, 30 Dec 2020 16:00:00 +0000 https://blog.ethswarm.org/hive/2020/come-together-swarm-beta-wave-grant-recipients/ This year really has been something, huh? It’s been a year to remember. As much as there was good happening, it certainly had its downs and stress. Here is some exciting news for 2021 as we have the pleasure to announce new stars at the dawn of a new paradigm, a fair data economy. At Swarm Beta, we announced the second Swarm grants call which concluded at the end of October.
