How it Works

ZK - Truth Verification Process by Swarm Network

Whether it’s a social media user challenging a viral rumor, a crypto project verifying token distribution, or a decentralized application (DApp) confirming real-world events—Swarm Network’s protocol ensures credible outcomes.

Here’s the high-level flow:

1. Claimant Submits Unverified Info

   A claimant—be it an application, data provider, or individual—sends raw, unverified content (e.g., “Event X happened at Y time”) to Swarm.

2. Agent Layer Processes Claims

   AI agents break this content into “atomic claims” (testable chunks of information), creating cryptographic (ZK) proofs as they gather supporting evidence.

3. Protocol Registers ZK Proofs

   The Swarm Protocol logs these proofs on-chain, signaling to validators that fresh claims are ready for review.

4. Validators Independently Verify

   Human verifiers and additional AI checks cross-examine each claim. If the data holds up—no contradictions or mismatches—the claim is updated to a verified status on-chain.

5. Public Consumes Verified Results

   At this point, anyone—be it a DeFi platform, social user, or developer—can query these verified claims. Misinformation loses its power when confronted by transparent, tamper-resistant data.
