What is Swarm City?

Swarm City is a community developing a decentralized app (DApp) that allows any peer-to-peer (P2P) service exchange, meaning no middleman, no central servers, and no unnecessary restrictions.

The first service to be developed is a #needaride service, aka ridesharing, available in the Boardwalk release. The next service will most likely be #SwarmBnb, aka airbnb, and many other hashtags will follow.

We make the sharing-economy become true!

Past

• The project emerged from a grassroots effort to create an alternative for rideshare drivers who were stuck in the middle of regulators and greedy corporate middlemen. We had tokensale to fund our project
• Arcade City whitepaper
• Swarm City was formed as a result of a brandfork, the Ethereum development team and the project cofounders separated from the original project, known as Arcade City
• Getting organized
• New Year, New Name, Same Teams  

Present

• Decentralized App built on the Ethereum blockchain, check the code
• The First Release Terminal - create a digital wallet, convert ARC to SWT, send & receive SWT
• Token exchange whitepaper
• Beta testing on every sprint release
• Official press releases Swarm City Times
• Buy SWT on Changelly
• Buy SWT on Bittrex

Future

• Second Release Boardwalk coming soon
• Project roadmap - even bigger community
• Storefront - more services will become available 

Mission

We are on the leading edge of a new technological era, an era that is disrupting the economics of human interactions in regards to trade of services. Swarm City is developing a truly Decentralized App (DApp), enabled by the SWT, running on the Ethereum blockchain to interconnect world industries and enable open peer to peer exchanges.

It is our mission to provide an open marketplace of services, currency tokens, and encrypted communication tools to offer direct access between buyers and sellers worldwide and in your community.

How it works

Users can interact on a private and secure messaging channel (similar to twitter but with sophisticated features), exchange Swarm City Tokens (SWT), a cryptocurrency minted to exchange between users, and browse other Ethereum apps offered on the platform.

Once a service offered in a so called hashtag gets a critical mass, there will be a full-featured and dedicated frontend developed for it, so that the best user experience can be offered.

Swarm City also has a built in reputation system which lets you know who you can trust. Every user and app builds reputation over time as they transact with others on the platform.
