Ethereum Swarm

Bee v2.8.1 is out 🐝 🔶 Crash-safe local storage — corrupted chunks removed on recovery 🔶 Client-side stamp signing 🔶 SIMD-accelerated hashing + fewer RPC calls 🔶 New batch & chainstate endpoints No breaking p2p changes. Upgrade your node 👇 blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

🚨 Heads up: phishing scams are impersonating Swarm with fake "migration" and "claim" messages to drain wallets. The Swarm Foundation will never ask you to connect your wallet or share your seed phrase. The only official domain is ethswarm.org.

Got a question for the Swarm Foundation team? The Swarm Community Call on 30 July features a live AMA. Submit yours ahead of time and it may be answered on the call. Submit here 👇 airtable.com/appNS3aNAw7rih…

Mark your calendar: Swarm Community Call, Thursday 30 July at 17:00 CET. The monthly rundown on Bee, research, and network activity — plus a live AMA with the Swarm Foundation team. scc.swarm.bzz.link

2 years to get tested for a rare genetic disease Could Decentralized Networks and Storage help to solve this? This is why I love working with projects like @ethswarm they care about adoption and not one specific niche. Contact me for further info on this topic!!

One of the things we're most proud of from the Neo-Cypherpunk Summit was the diversity of projects represented. Operating Systems @GrapheneOS Browsers @torproject • @brave • @freedom Mixnets @nymproject Code Collaboration @radicle Open Data @OpenObservatory (OONI) Internet Circumvention Mother of all VPNs Messaging Bitchat • Air • Dark IRC Archives @internetarchive • Save by @open_archive • Karakutu Protocols @Logos_network • @DarkFiSquad Wallets @KohakuWallet • @Walletbeat • @Keycard_Storage @ethswarm • @IPFS Socials Eurosky • @masknetwork • @LensProtocol Digital Money @zcash • @warptoad_xyz • @rotkiapp • @BeldexCoin • @cashuBTC VPNs @snowstormnet • @nym Documents @fileverseio Health Data @dark_dot_bio Other @gaskiller_ • Bordel Hacklab + Paperweight email by @wslyvh + blackbox.host @wadadawadada Bringing together projects across the entire privacy stack—from operating systems and browsers to wallets, protocols, digital money and infrastructure—is exactly what Neo-Cypherpunk Summit is about.

qr-transfer is live! Send files between devices as a stream of QR codes. Everything runs on your own device (even offline). No external dependencies, no network calls, no tracking, ... Hosted on @ethswarm and accessible with gwei.domains

From setup to first run, with interviews from the people who made it happen: a collective livecoding experiment where Swarm, @DarkFiSquad and @winprivacy turned decentralised infrastructure into part of the instrument. Watch the making of The Plural Monolith👇

Music streamed from Swarm, payments going straight to artists — no platform in the middle. On the Swarm Community Call, Alaska demoed Subcult: a decentralized music app built on Swarm.

Plural Events – Privacy, and Real & Local Collective Actions Deliberative democracy needs more than ideas — it needs privacy, coordination, and local collective action. With @PG_CDG x @web3privacy , @bastinjafari x @RadxChange , @kosmostasis x @ethswarm and @invisiblgarden and Kris Decoodt x @Logos_network Moderated by @nikoline_nik Listen to it here: youtu.be/x0iwjFirizU

Bee v2.8.1 is out 🐝 No breaking p2p changes: crash-safe storage, client-side stamp signing, faster hashing, fewer RPC calls. Upgrade your node 👇 blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

This is the spirit we embody.

One of the flagship events was the Neocypherpunk Summit happened this June in Berlin's Funkhaus. - 1000+ visitors - 100+ speakers And with that, talks covering everything from Cryptography as Civil infrastructure and Ethical AI through Open protocols and autonomy all the way to Digital Rights and Legal Defenses. Among speakers were Geert Lovink (@glovink), Jaya Klara Brekke (@jayapapaya) from @nym , Viktorn Tron (@zeligf) from @ethswarm or @callebtc from @CashuBTC and Bitchat. It became a meeting point for builders from projects like @torproject, @GrapheneOS, @ethswarm, @DarkFi, @amnesty and many others working to strengthen digital freedom.

Decentralization Theatre with Migle Rakitaite (@rakymnft) x @ethswarm x @winprivacy October 2025: AWS went down — and so did Coinbase, MetaMask, Base, and half of “decentralized” crypto. Migle’s talk was an honest audit of where the stack actually breaks — frontends, gateways, RPCs, DNS — and why fixing it requires the one thing the industry is bad at: working together instead of pretending we’re not all building the same thing.

The Decentralization Stack: Where Are We Still Lying to Ourselves? A cross-stack conversation on the uncomfortable truth behind decentralization. From storage and compute to identity and frontend, where are the real single points of failure? Join Viktor Tron (@zeligf ) x @ethswarm, Mario Havel (@TMIYChao) x @ethereumfndn , Kyle Den Hartog (@pryvitkyle) x @brave , Meinhard Benn x @freedom and moderated by Migle Rakitaite (@miglerakitaite) x @winprivacy See the discussion at: youtu.be/ZxVBpBCSc8k
