Peer-to-peer social, tipped in Monero.
Swarmnero is a true P2P social network. No servers. No algorithms. No ads. Just you, your posts, and your people — with native Monero tipping built in.
Run with Pear Runtime
Swarmnero is built on Pear Runtime — the peer-to-peer app platform from Holepunch. Install Pear once, then launch Swarmnero with a single command.

What makes it different
Fully peer-to-peer
No central servers. Your posts replicate directly between devices over the Hyperswarm DHT.
Monero tipping
Built-in XMR wallet. Tip posts and replies. No custodians, no middlemen.
Paywalled posts
Encrypt premium content, gate it behind a Monero payment. Fully automated unlock — no manual approvals.
Private DMs
End-to-end encrypted direct messages between mutual follows. X25519 + crypto_secretbox.
No algorithms
Chronological timelines. Follow who you want. Discover via friends-of-friends and hashtag search.
Your keys, your identity
Ed25519 identity stored locally. Optional password encryption. Export and import at any time.
