Layer2 tooling through ecosystem initiatives

Below are several ecosystem-based projects that enable faster development while promoting data interoperability and sovereignty. The Swarm Foundation is pleased to support the projects presented, but makes no guarantees about how they'll work. All projects are in an intensive development phase, but contributions are more than welcome. Additionally, contributions to the projects listed below can be supported through [**Swarm grants**](https://my.ethswarm.org/grants).
fairOS - run a database on top of Swarm
With fairOS, instead of dealing with chunks and separate files directly on Swarm you can work with a distributed file system, key-value database or database doc (multi-index). fairOS provides developers a head start and a decentralised backend.

fairDRIVE - data store for your users
Fairdrive is decentralised “Dropbox / Google drive”, running on Swarm. A UI for dapp and personal data. (D)apps can save and read data from it, which enables users to reclaim, own and manage their data while enabling developers to use it as a white-label and save on development time.
Test fairdrive
Fair data protocol - interoperability
Swarm imagines a plural future with multiple data stores serving different purposes. FDP is the glue between them, enabling interoperability. Currently, the project is under intense development. The community can contribute to or suggest improvements through Fair data improvement proposals.
