The Swarm Formal Specification is a comprehensive technical document that formally defines the data structures, algorithms, and game-theoretic mechanisms underlying the Swarm network. It covers the Distributed Immutable Store of Chunks (DISC), chunk addressing, Single Owner Chunks, postage stamps, and redistribution game mechanics. It also details the APIs, cryptographic primitives, and protocols used to ensure integrity, availability, and incentivization within the system.
