This SWIP proposes Swarm as a decentralized storage layer for provenance metadata and data. Provenance, the documented history of a dataset's origin and transformations, is increasingly important for regulatory compliance, ethical AI, and data accountability. A command-line toolkit will provide utilities to:

  • Upload/Download: Store and retrieve provenance files (in any format) with Swarm reference hashes.
  • Metadata Management: Track storage validity (TTL) and extend it via stamp top-ups.

The framework does not enforce specific provenance standards but ensures compatibility by decoupling metadata (structured JSON) from the actual provenance data (stored as arbitrary files). Developers and enterprises retain full control over their data format and privacy measures.
