Hello all. My background is in blockchain protocol engineering. The company I was at wound down, which left me with a lot of time, so I'd been pushing frontier models on hard distributed-systems problems and was impressed enough to try building something autonomous end-to-end.. a micro-SaaS factory. A few months in I realized the runtime underneath was more interesting than the product on top of it, so I extracted it. That's Swarm.
A lot of the design comes straight from blockchain engineering: I wanted something purely async and event-driven, where state only moves through committed, ordered transitions. The one decision everything hangs on is that the LLM does not run the system. Agents reason in scoped sessions and emit events; deterministic code, never the model, decides what each result changes. I think this enables some interesting workflows.
Curious to know what you think of it!
