As a crypto enthusiast, I'm often intrigued by the various decentralized technologies emerging in the space. Could you elaborate on the key differences between Swarm and IPFS? Both seem to aim at providing a distributed storage solution, but I'm curious about the nuances that set them apart. Does Swarm offer any unique features or advantages over IPFS? Also, how do their respective architectures and approaches to data storage compare? Understanding these distinctions would help me make a more informed decision when it comes to leveraging these technologies for my own projects.
