SWARM MAINNET · GET STARTED

Join the swarm.

Start with a wallet. Keep your recovery phrase offline. Choose shielded or transparent payments, and verify what the network is doing for yourself.

STEP BY STEP

Start with a wallet. Every bee counts.

Get SWARM Wallet.

The desktop wallet holds native SWM and sends payments, transparent or shielded. Current downloads are published for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Choose your platform →

Back up your phrase.

On first run, write the recovery phrase on paper and keep it offline. It is the way to restore your wallet if your device is lost.

Check before you send.

Check the address and amount on every payment. Choose whether the payment is shielded or transparent. A confirmed payment cannot be reversed.

Verify the network.

The explorer shows blocks, issued supply and the allocation in each block. Your own node is the authority; the explorer makes it easy to look.

ONE THING THAT MATTERS

Back up your recovery phrase offline.

Write the phrase down on paper and store it somewhere safe. Do not photograph it, put it in a password manager you do not control, or type it into a website that asks you to “verify” it.

Anyone who has the phrase has the coins. If you lose it, nobody — including us — can recover your wallet for you. Treat anyone asking for your phrase as a thief.

OPEN SOURCE

Read the code.

The node, indexer and wallet are open source. Check that the software does what this site says it does, and compare the checksums before installing.

MORE WAYS TO JOIN

Explore the ecosystem.

Find the messenger, browser and wallet together. Looking for mining access or SWM tokens on Base, BNB Smart Chain or Solana? The Get SWM guide explains the differences.

Your keys, your coins. Nobody can freeze, reverse or recover a native SWARM payment for you. Keep the phrase safe and check an address before sending.
