SWARM FUND, Cooperative ownership platform for real assets

Hİ Steemians! Today I wanna tell you about this great project called Swarm Fund. I hope this will be useful article for the ones who are interested in cryptocurrencies.

So what is Swarm and what will it be use for?

Swarm Fund was built as a response to the tendency of finance to go into internal hype cycles that make the rich richer without delivering real value.

Vision

To allow anyone, anywhere in the world, to participate in value creation in the crypto asset category and to seize the opportunity to stay in the forest.

Mission

To democratize investments, by applying liquid democracy to empower investors in a way that has never been done by the financial world before.

Crypto Token Holders:

The investment landscape for crypto coin holders is largely limited in choice to either a selection of established crypto currencies, e.g Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple and more, or a selection of more recently issued tokens, e.g altcoins. As much as the overall crypto asset developments are extremely positive, both asset categories have significant challenges associated with them from an investment perspective.

Swarm Token:

''Swarm seeks to not only create interesting software, but also a community of those interested in sharing their project opportunities with other Swarm participants.''

Basic structure of the Swarm Token:

SWARM PLATFORM MODEL:

The Swarm platform will be composed of three primary layers: Core, Services, and Application.

Layer 1: Swarm Core

The Core layer provides the foundational system components and smart contracts for Swarm use: network governance token management with consensus via liquid democracy, and a management interface. This also includes system replications of the preferred legal frameworks, reputational engine, decentralized collaboration, as well as foundational processes around security & data transparency.

Layer 2: Swarm Services

The Swarm Services layer will offer additional services on top of Swarm Core. These services are meant to make it extremely easy for any participants to build investment applications on top of Swarm and serve the marketplace in the most creative way. While applications and participants are welcome to interact with Swarm on the Core level, we will be offering Swarm Services to accelerate their go-to-market process and reduce operational costs. Swarm Services will be offered using a license-fee model.

Layer 3: Swarm Applications

On the highest layer, on top of the Swarm Services layer or directly operating on the Swarm Core, is the Swarm Applications layer. These applications are both front-end as well as in some cases application back-ends that are specific to target investment use cases and/or target segments. Some of these applications may be built by Swarm, while others will be built by third parties. Our vision for Swarm is to have a wide variety of investment applications built on the same platform technology and liquidity pool. These applications will likely charge additional fees or use alternative business models such as market making, information selling, or revenue/profit sharing. As further described in the following section, many of such Swarm
applications may include the release of their own utility tokens as a core component of their business model.
