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

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.

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

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.

@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).

Public data deserves better infrastructure.
Research, software, media archives, frontends, datasets, cultural records — all of it becomes fragile when it lives behind a few corporate gates.
The public web needs public infrastructure.
One week. Multiple conferences. Workshops, talks, panels, livecoding, DeSci, privacy, AI, infrastructure.
Instead of a polished conference recap, we're bringing the stories behind the stories.
Join today's Swarm Community Call for a Berlin Blockchain Week debrief with Mina, Migle, Koss, and special guest Alaska.
What did we learn? What are people actually building? Where is decentralized infrastructure heading? 🐝

Clips from setup and first run of The Plural Monolith.
An experiment bringing together Swarm, @DarkFi, @WinPrivacy — and already gaining force before the premiere. Thanks, Alaska, Mourad, Alexandra & everyone coding, dancing, tapping along.
This is Web3 in practice: decentralized infra as the underlayer, the artwork existing in decentralized space, and the beginning of an ongoing social/art machine.
