Simple Summary
One of the biggest issues that any blockchain faces is to store and manage its ledger(data). The faster the transaction execution of a chain, the bigger the issue of making its data available and retrievabile to all its clients. This SWIP proposes to solve the data availabilty and retrievability problems by having a generic data chain to manage and store data of other blockchains. This data chain will use Swarm as the storage layer to acheieve this goal.
