Voi Swarm provides a straightforward entry to the Voi network. However, its opinionated design may not fit all use cases. Before you get started with running a node, it is important to evaluate options and understand the requirements.
What is Voi?

Voi stands out by uniquely allocating a majority of the ecosystem’s resources to those who directly add value to the network. It fosters decentralization, promotes self-governance, encourages community investment, and simplifies the user experience to facilitate mainstream usage.
