About Swarm City

Swarm City is the first truly decentralised peer to peer sharing economy platform.
A distributed app running on the Ethereum blockchain.

Swarm City is designed as a commerce platform, that allows anyone to create any sharing service. It gives you access to a decentralized global community of peer-to-peer service providers and consumers.

One of the first services that will be provided is ridesharing. It allows any driver to offer his services under his conditions to any rider. This has the potential to disrupt Uber, just as Uber has disrupted the Taxi Business. But the platform is not limited to ridesharing. Any P2P business can be created. After eating Uber for Breakfast we intend to have AirBnB for Lunch and Amazon for Dinner and a lot of snacks and inbetween.
