What is Swarm City?

Swarm City was born out of the ashes of the would be ridesharing company "Arcade City" attempting to take on Uber. Originally 1811 members volunteered to help assist in the project through a facebook group. The vision was to create a decentralised version of Uber on the blockchain. The founding members were guided by the principles of Swarmwise (The tactical manual to changing the world) to create a community of members named "The Swarm".

Since then, the project has evolved into something much larger. After years of trial and error we managed to spread our vision far and wide enough to find a group of talented programmed currently known as "The Dev Team" who work from Atwerp, Belgium.

The Dev Team are a group of talented ethereum programmers who have been able to program us a functioning payment system with ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum platform; known as $SWT (Swarm City Tokens).

Swarm City is a decentralised commerce meta-platform which utilises Swarm City Tokens or (SWT) are used as the currency inside the app to purchase goods & services in a decentralised fashion (P2P) without middlemen.

Community members are currently trialing out the "Boardwalk" which utilises hashtags (which are similar to interest groups). The first hashtag that has been set up is named #pioneer. People are currently requesting goods and services which they require and offering an amount of SWT in return for the completion of the offer.

The next stage is the Storefront, where people will be able to plug their apps into our project and transact without interference of middlemen. This will hopefully introduce better graphical user interfaces and improvements to the functionality of the boardwalk. It will also likely attract app developers who wish to offer their products and services under our platform.
