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…

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 🔶 Chunks validated against content hashes on recovery — corruption auto-removed 🔶 Per-chunk stamp signing on /chunks/stream 🔶 Opt-in SIMD hashing (Linux x86-64) 🔶 GET /batches/{id}, PATCH /stamps/{id} Release notes 👇 blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

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.

Swarm Community Call June — Recap🐝 🔶 Bee 2.8.1: hardening, lower RPC traffic, direct client stamping, dev-mode removal, opt-in SIMD hashing (2–4x) 🔶 The Plural Monolith: collective livecoding, samples stored on Swarm Full recap 👇 blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

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

Running IPFS-hosted sites, gateway-dependent apps, or infra that needs a Swarm migration path? The Hive Node intercepts IPFS requests, stores content on Swarm, serves future requests from Swarm cache, and keeps a local offline fallback. Best of both worlds. blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

Bee v2.8.1 is on the way — releasing 7 July🐝 🔶 Crash-safe local storage: corrupted chunks auto-detected and removed on recovery 🔶 Client-side stamp signing for direct browser uploads 🔶 SIMD-accelerated hashing + fewer RPC calls 🔶 New batch & chainstate API endpoints blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/202…

Excerpt from Swarm Community Call: two people editing the same doc, with the doc state living on Swarm and live updates handled via a lightweight notification layer — collaboration without a central server owning the session. 🐝

Thank you for helping us keep knowledge open, accessible, and free for all. Our events are free to attend—not by magic, but thanks to the support of our sponsors and the hard work that goes into fundraising behind the scenes. @ethswarm + @Zcash + @Logos_network + @BeldexCoin

@adamshurwitz @linuxfoundation @ethereum @FrameworkPuter @ethswarm Here is a recent example of a new dApp hosted on Swarm, discovered via ENS, providing serverless, decentralized file upload to Swarm, powered by a hoverfly node running in your browser (WASM). hoverfly.eth.link
