SWARM is a non-profit providing open infrastructure for the compliant issuance and trading of digital securities. Asset owners and fund managers can issue security tokens on the blockchain of their choice using SWARM’s technology, facilitating fractional ownership of formerly exclusive asset classes like real estate funds and private equity. Token issuers pay no fees, and participate in the community by staking SWM tokens for the life of their security token, regardless of their choice of blockchain. SWARM's issuance and fundraising modules, and the growing network of providers building on Market Access Protocol, pave the way for issuers and investors to benefit from this technology without friction.
