CryptoMondays, the world’s largest IRL community for crypto enthusiasts, is proud to celebrate its continued partnership with the Swarm Foundation, a leader in decentralized storage and communications. This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to cyberpunk values, aiming to break out of digital bubbles and restore freedom to the internet as a whole.
Builders, thinkers and technology curious people are invited to escape the typical conference fatigue at Coffee and Cypherpunkswhich will take place during EthCC at Cannes on Wednesday April 1Since 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. GMT+2. This casual gathering offers a refreshing alternative to standard panels, providing space for discussion decentralized storage, data sovereigntyand the technical realities of building the Swarm network over coffee and pastries. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to hear about Swarm’s new project. soft-launched ambassador program before it is made public and you can connect directly with the team regarding feedback or potential career opportunities. Space is limited and subject to host approval, so please register and verify token ownership at to receive exact location details.
A vision for true decentralization
The CryptoMondays-Swarm partnership is rooted in a mutual commitment to a peer-to-peer (P2P) model in which the network is run by ordinary people rather than centralized private companies. Unlike traditional Web2 systems that require users to share personal information and agree to arbitrary terms and conditions, Swarm allows users to participate without permission.
“We are extremely grateful for Swarm’s support of the CryptoMondays community,” said Robin Philip of CryptoMondays. “Their technology is not just a tool; it’s a fundamental shift in how we own our digital identities and data. Using asymmetric cryptography, Swarm ensures that users are their own identity providers, eliminating the risks of data leaks and identity theft inherent in centralized databases.

Innovative functionality: beyond simple storage
Swarm’s architecture provides a robust and “elegant” system for a decentralized web:
-
Confidentiality and integrity: The data is divided into 4KB “chunks”, the contents of which are addressed and immutable, meaning they cannot be tampered with.
-
Censorship resistance: Rather than relying on opaque algorithms to decide what is harmful, Swarm empowers individuals to make these decisions themselves through open source tools.
-
Reliability: Through the use of “neighborhoods” (redundant storage groups) and erasure coding, the network can recover data even if nodes fluctuate or entire segments disappear.
-
Economic sustainability: The BZZ token incentivizes node operators, enabling a “download and disappear” model in which data can remain accessible for 100 years or more without the user needing to stay online.
Building the future together
Swarm’s versatility extends to revolutionary use cases including decentralized streaming, AI agent memories, and decentralized website hosting via ENS. Their commitment to education, demonstrated through their “Swarm 101” workshops and developer support, has been instrumental in helping the CryptoMondays community understand the complexities of decentralized storage.
CryptoMondays thanks the Swarm Foundation for its continued support and for providing the infrastructure necessary to build a truly private, permissionless digital future.

About Swarm
Swarm is a decentralized storage and communications system that provides the essential infrastructure for a sovereign digital society. Built on cypherpunk values, it operates as a peer-to-peer network run by ordinary individuals rather than central corporations, ensuring the internet remains open, borderless and censorship-resistant. Users benefit from true data ownership and “zero leak” privacy through cryptographic keys, meaning no personal information or permissions are required to join. Through its innovative incentive model powered by the BZZ token, Swarm enables permanent storage, where important files can be secured for 100 years or more. By eliminating single points of failure, the network remains stable and reliable, allowing users to reclaim their digital freedom and control their own online lives.
