Swarm Fund Overview and ICO


What is Swarm Fund

Swarm Fund is a blockchain based platform for investing into real life commodities. It serves as a bridge between a small scale investor and real assets.

The token (SWM) is built on Etherium, so it will be compatible with any ERC20 wallet, such as MyEtherWallet.

How does it work

By buying SWM tokens, you gain access to the Swarm Fund platform. It also grants you voting power within the network. The platform is being used by thousands of small scale investors and experts just like you. 

On the platform you can view potential funds and assets you can invest into. When you decide where you will invest your tokens, you transfer it into the project. Swarm's reputation model for the projects will help you decide. It is based on previous performance of a member that was behind the certain project. This allows you to pick a top tier project with ease.

When the project is fully funded, the assets or the fund is acquired. Essential feature of swarm platform is that it covers the legal work included in tokenization of the asset. Thanks to the use of blockchain, the whole process is maximally automated.

The profits generated by the project are fairly distributed among the people that invested their tokens. They are gained as SUN tokens. SUN tokens are tied to real assets whereas SWM tokens are tied to the platform.

After gaining SUN tokens you can cash them out or re-invest into other projects.
You can read more about the Swarm Fund on their https://swarm.fund and their blog.

We can summarize the above in 4 phases:

  1. Purchase Swarm Tokens (SWM) to gain membership in the Swarm Network
  2. Participate in real world project
  3. Choose projects with your SUN tokens
  4. Reap your gains in form of SUN tokens

What problems does it solve

The main problem facing small scale investors is the high minimum thresholds for investments. Because of that they are forced out from such investment options which include distressed real estate, solar installations and other funds that can offer extremely high returns. Such funds usually require an investment of $1 million or even more and long investment lock periods.

By having a network of people pooling together their tokens and act as a single person, we can achieve that minimum thresholds. The fund manager also doesn't have to work with the whole pool of people, but with only one 'investor', the Swarm. Swarm handles administration, collecting and converting assets to and from cryptocurrency.

Investment bankers can help you out, but they charge a commission for their service.
With Swarm Fund you remove the middle man and reduce your fees significantly.
