Swarm Beta Release — Come together on 28th September
Swarm is heading towards its 1.0 release. On 28th September we mark another milestone: the release of Swarm Beta. If your interest is spiked when hearing about self-sovereign data, running web3 nodes, the world computer and safeguarding privacy, you should be there. Moreover — you want to be first in line as registrants will receive the Swarm Beta NFT token which will enable special features in the near future. Don’t say we didn’t tell you ;)

What to expect
TL;DR: A lot.
The hero of Swarm’s event is Bee Beta client. This all-new version of the Bee Summer Edition will add features that enable a network that can be used for more than development.
This release contains the features needed to start building on the first use cases of the world computer. To name just a few: first persistence mechanism, global pinning, and linking to ENS.
There might be a special announcement for node operators (insert dramatic orchestral chord).
Web3 is about collaboration and interoperability, themes this event will focus on. Expect to hear about the ecosystem efforts and developer support Swarm is energizing. There will be cool forkable demo’s showing off what’s currently possible on Swarm. Also, there will be a new announcement on grants.
