A "Swarm List" refers to a collection of interconnected nodes or entities, often in the context of decentralized networks or distributed systems. These lists are designed to facilitate communication and data sharing among numerous participants, each of whom contributes to the overall functionality of the network. Typically, they are used in applications where scalability and fault tolerance are crucial, such as in blockchain technologies and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.

Key characteristics of a Swarm List:

  • Distributed across multiple nodes to ensure reliability and performance.
  • Enables seamless interaction between entities without a central server.
  • Maintains redundancy to prevent data loss in case of node failure.

In a decentralized network, the use of Swarm Lists can be seen in various forms, such as in the management of resources, data propagation, or the distribution of tasks. These lists are often dynamic, with new entries being added or removed based on certain criteria.

"Swarm Lists ensure that even as nodes join or leave the network, data consistency and availability are preserved."

Here is an example structure of a Swarm List:

Node ID Status Last Active
Node A Active 2025-04-10
Node B Inactive 2025-04-09
Node C Active 2025-04-11
