Bee v2.8.3 is out. It includes a security fix, so all node operators should upgrade now. The upgrade is non-disruptive and needs no manual migration. Release notes and downloads 👇 github.com/ethersphere/bee/r…

Swarm Community Call, 29 October, 17:00 CET: 🔶 Bee 2.8.3 and what's next for the client 🔶 Where to find Swarm at Devcon 8, Mumbai 🔶 Phone → Swarm livestreaming with Freedom Browser 🔶 Community AMA scc.swarm.bzz.link/

A Strudel.cc fork, a shared soundbank, all hosted on Swarm. Performers retrieve community samples and code them into music live on the @EFDevcon 8 Music Stage. The session archive goes back onto the network. Add your sound → livecoding.eth.limo

People may agree on words like freedom, autonomy, openness, or progress, while meaning very different things by them. Find Manifesto Roulette at @EFDevcon - but before that, tell us: which text do you think should be on the spinning wheel? 🎡

🌐 THE SCHEDULE IS LIVE! 🇮🇳 We’re excited to announce the schedule for the Resilient Networking Hub @ @EFDevcon 8 Mumbai. 🔗 Explore the full schedule: libp2p.tech/schedule From November 3–6, we are bringing together protocol researchers, open-source maintainers, builders, security practitioners, and the decentralized infrastructure community to explore what it takes to build a more resilient internet. 🛠️ What’s happening at the Hub? 🔗 Build resilient networks from the ground up with libp2p, peer identity, discovery, transports, and secure connections. 🤖 Explore the Internet of Agents through verifiable agent actions, trustworthy receipts, AI inference evidence, and open observability standards. 🔐 Dive into protocol and cryptographic resilience, including post-quantum P2P migration, formal verification, Lean, zero-knowledge proofs, and privacy measurements. 📦 Build with decentralized storage through @IPFS, Helia, Kubo, self-hosted infrastructure, and hands-on workshops with real-world applications. 🌍 Discover decentralized infrastructure in practice with the @ethswarm ecosystem, decentralized publishing, streaming, collaborative editing, and permanent archives. 💬 Join the discussions that shape what comes next from network trust, failure and recovery to @Ethereum protocol resilience, public goods, and sustainable infrastructure. ⚡ Expect hands-on workshops, research sessions, live demos, maintainer meetups, roundtables, and plenty of opportunities to meet the people building and maintaining the infrastructure we all depend on. This is an invitation to participate, not just attend. Whether you are a student exploring P2P networking for the first time, a researcher investigating protocol resilience, a maintainer looking to collaborate, or a builder working on decentralized applications and agentic systems, we’d love to welcome you. Come share your work, bring your questions, meet fellow contributors, and help us experiment with more resilient, open, and verifiable infrastructure. A big thank-you to all the speakers, maintainers, researchers, ecosystem partners, and volunteers helping bring this community together. Also, special thanks to friends from @EFDevcon team, @satyaki44 and @OrnellaWeb3. 📅 November 3–6 | Devcon 8 Mumbai 🚀 libp2p Expedition: October 31–November 8 🔗 Full schedule: libp2p.tech/schedule 🤝 Join us at the Resilient Networking Hub. Let’s build, learn, and make the internet more resilient, together!

Manifesto Roulette is an interactive installation about the ideas beneath, around, and in tension with Ethereum and its wider ecosystem, coming to @EFDevcon. Cypherpunk, e/acc, free software, futurism, Cyborg... what’s missing? forum.devcon.org/t/manifesto…

🌐 Decentralized media, connected at @EFDevcon! On Nov 5th, @rakymnft and friends at @ethswarm will bring a special focus on #decentralized #media to the #Resilient #Networking #Hub at @EFDevcon, connecting communities and builders working toward a more open internet. We look forward to welcoming them and everyone across the decentralized media ecosystem to join us in this celebration, dialogue and open discussion: libp2p.tech/dmedia-day💚 We look forward to collaborating on how #decentralized technologies are reshaping #publishing, and #streaming through hands-on workshops, live demos, and conversations with builders. Wish to thank @rakymnft and friends at @ethswarm for their efforts and initiatives at #Resilient #Networking #Hub. We will have friends from the Security and Agentic Hub also participating with us in scaling collaborative efforts at @EFDevcon: libp2p.tech/devcon and libp2p.tech/participate. Different protocols, shared vision: a more open, resilient, and censorship-resistant internet. 🚀 #DecentralizedMedia #Web3

Our team is currently editing my livestream interview with @ethswarm from the Ethereum Institutional Summit at ETHTokyo. 🎙️🇯🇵 We talked about @KnightIntelco, and why financial institutions, banks, and governments need machine-readable intelligence. That means helping reduce onboarding that can take weeks or even months down to DAYS, while improving how institutions identify risk, reduce false rejections, and distinguish legitimate customers from bad actors. 💯 Knight brings together a person’s financial history across TradFi and Web3 - so instead of making decisions from fragmented records or a single provider’s yes/no, institutions can understand the fuller picture of who they’re dealing with. Because identity verification can tell you who someone is. The next problem is understanding whether they can be TRUSTED. So sit back, relax, hydrate. the production team is cooking and it'll drop here as soon as they're done 🍿

SWARM Live Streamer app by @meinharrd @ freedom labs HQ: github.com/freedom-hq/ant/re…

Can we publish, distribute and stream media without depending on a company that can take it offline? At @EFDevcon Mumbai, we are taking over the Resilient Networking Hub for a full Decentralized Media Day. We'll put decentralized infrastructure to the test: publish websites without traditional hosting, stream video over Swarm, explore browser-based P2P delivery and see what happens when parts of the network go offline. Expect live demos, hands-on workshops, technical deep dives and honest conversations about what works, what breaks and what still needs solving. Want to contribute to the agenda? Share your research, work, and outcomes? Contact us in the DMs!

Bee v2.8.3 arrives on October 15 🐝 It includes a security fix, so all node operators should plan to upgrade on release day. The upgrade is non-disruptive and needs no manual migration. What else is in the release 👇 blog.ethswarm.org/foundation…

Give AI "agents" somewhere to keep their data, establish an identity and reputation, and transact with each other. We're building toward this in three layers: → access: use and store data → social: identity and reputation → economic: payments, access and marketplaces Andras walks through the stack ↓

An AI agent finds data it wants. It pays for it. Access is granted. Only an agent that actually made the purchase can leave a verified review. That’s the idea behind a(ny) data rich AI marketplace built on Swarm: data, payments, access and reputation connected into one verifiable flow. Take a look ↓

Create a private ID that lets you move across applications and devices using Swarm. Your identity stays with you, not with the app or device you happen to be using. Kelly explains ↓
