Gather, Swarm!

hello and welcome to the winter solstice event uh first and foremost thank you all for coming to this event we are very very happy to have you here this event represents the night compared to the summer solstice event that actually happened exactly six months ago it is intended to last less than an hour so if you blink or you go call of biological needs you will miss something we have announcements to do about the network the products created on top of it and we even have a one more thing thing that is very very cool the event main location is in gallatin uh but you will be able to follow it in zoom as some of you are doing already and we even have a fallback solution for boomers too so that everyone is invited this is very important now if you want to dig deeper into anything that is going to be said here you can head togethertown and you can ask the team directly because the team will be will be scattered around around this world and you can hear it from the mouth of the dragon so let's begin and the best way to begin is with some words from victor crone the team leader of swarm hello victor and thank you for coming so i would like to ask you briefly a couple of questions cool so i would like to ask you guys a couple of questions uh the first one they are not very long so it will not take us depending on how long you want to answer them it's small so the first one is around 20 21 okay what a year uh for swarm it meant test testnet magnet and then a token cell uh what from your point of view what does it mean for swarm and what does it mean for you for me it means uh child birth so it's it's basically my my my baby that's long been growing it's been born and and this is the time for small man i mean really uh again from vaporware to something here through the maintenance launch probably everybody would agree that this is smart this is this major milestone so i'm very happy with this year that's that's it was a quite important phase transition in the life of the project amazing and well i'm looking forward how do you see 2022 this one yeah 2022 is is when when the swarm is expected to become a feature complete in terms of the the underlying they are the the disk component the the network protocol that that basically carries out the the chunk storage and this is this is this is a complete in terms of the what what what is part of the vision that storage incentives and and the distribution uh for earning potential for for another places is gonna be in place and and some some other interesting features which basically complete the the underlying layer and from then on of course we expect some changes today they will be just just small small protocol changes i guess and the major features and that's the feeling that they i gonna be a major major game changer for for those that participate as operators amazing feature complete are really really big words so looking forward to it yeah let's go let's go let's go make it happen thank you so much victor okay so the next the next topic to cover is something that you will be wondering about which are basically the the bees the swarming the network because this is all about creating and launching the network actually a very a very ambitious network the way i see this network is my personal view it's a kind of a digital living organism something really complex to pull out but whenever you do it kind of change changes things and well to speak about the network uh to ask about the status of the network and how does the network perform today we have ella magnus or core 10 or core death track leader hello hello antonio hello everyone so um uh thank you very much for uh for the intro um so for all of you who are watching so uh it's been a very exciting year year for us this last year um with the it's been a year of constant learning for us as a team so we went into this kind of unknown territory of this uh maintaining a mainnet a decentralized mainnet distributed system which was a pretty much an uncharted territory for us operating with the real funds and with real hard hardware that people pay for and run every month so it's been a constant [Music] uh learning period for us uh which has been great um and um so as you all know the the so we've had like a lot of ingress of nodes at the beginning when we had the mainnet launch and then but we've been moving on since and uh also breaking some some versions uh introducing breaking changes but the idea is that we keep on moving forward as fast as possible and we uh we are basically investing a lot of efforts and a lot of time into improving the network experience on the main net so from kind of a bit of a stuttering uh experience maybe six months ago we are a solid very predictable uh user experience these days uh so we've been running a smoke test that i will share with you in a couple of seconds and we have persistent results and we basically are very happy with the with the results we've been able to achieve over the last few months um a lot of this was basically due to very fruitful cooperation also internally within uh within the organization with our research team and of course the devs which are working uh day and night to move mountains so um i would like to express my gratitude to everybody working on this over the last few months and to the incredible efforts that everybody has put into this uh i'll do um be very brief and try to share my desktop for a second so can you see my my screen by the way yes i can okay so these are basically smoke tests that we've been running over the the last uh let's say about a month um we also had to kind of like iron out a lot of things technicalities with with those smoke tests but um we're seeing um consistent results basically of uh so some of the some of the results are a bit biased but we're seeing uh really nice results of uh anywhere between like half a megabit uh to two megabits um per second um sorry megabytes and um um [Music] so i mean for some of you maybe that might not seem much but like for those of you who are familiar with the actual technical difficulties of what does it actually mean to get something like swarm with this in all of its kind of like twists and turns in its architecture which are really facilitating for a real decentralized storage um platform for the decentralized web would understand that basically getting such a thing right is an extremely uh complicated operation so just to kind of make things um maybe a bit more clear to some of our guests that uh our architecture is very different to other decentralized storage platforms and uh it's um it's yeah so it's it's much more difficult to get it right but i have very strong confidence and our uh and our team and our organization to achieve this result and yeah so i'm very much looking forward to 2022 uh with all of its challenges and um interesting uh problems to solve thank you thank you so much it's been great to see to see it well and uh thank you and as you can see uh the network is getting better better and better every day it's been a constant work since uh throughout the whole year but this road is not easy to travel at all if it were so someone would have crossed it already uh in this regard yeah like we can say we are trailblazing the path there are some challenges both for the network and for the operators and to speak about those challenges ahead we have here our research track leader rink hello ricky hi antonia do you hear me yeah loud and clear all right good well thanks a lot so um yeah hi everybody um tony already said my name is rinka and i'm leading swarms research team and uh since this is the last um meeting for swarm for the year i thought it would be nice to share a bit of my team's new year resolutions with you and um our main goal for the upcoming year for the research team but as a lot already said that we'll be working on this with the whole organization it is to enable swarm notable operators to directly earn vcc by storing content but what do i mean when i say that swarm node operators directly earn bcc by storing content and why is this important for you and also why is achieving this so difficult by directly earning bcc for storing content i mean that you can hook your computer into swarm synchronize chunks and start earning vcc right away with storage incentives the system will be upgraded from only earning money indirectly through serving data as is already the case right now to also earning money directly through storing the data for node operators this is a very important upgrade because it enables them to earn more bcc and have a more predictable stream of revenue as a result of this we expect to see more swarm nodes meaning more network capacity and improved censorship resistant properties so why i see you thinking doesn't swarm already have this feature right now if it is so important well the main reason for this is that it is pretty difficult to design such a system on top of swarm preserving all the properties that swarm has so to give one example of one such difficulty is that in swarm each file is split into many pieces which are spread all over the network and this enables many of the desirable properties of swarm however for storage incentives that means that for each file we need to redistribute the money that is paid in to all the nodes in the network and then to make it even more complex these nodes are also ever changing as they come and go another reason why it is so hard to implement storage incentives is because incentives are like a double-edged swords incentives not only make it beneficial for nodes to behave in a desired way but they also invariably attract people who attempt to game the system [Music] swarm therefore must be well designed to protect against these malicious actors and the last reason why it is challenging to design storage incentives is because we are working at the bleeding edge of technology swarm combines cryptography with databases and money and additionally all of this in a distributed network where we work under the assumption that no single node can be trusted we can't lean on a lot of experience here and this means that we must invest a lot of time and effort into finding the right working methodologies we are working in uncharted territory on an uncharted problem i believe that resolving these challenges is important to make swarm even better than it is right now and unfortunately we are in a pretty good position to resolve all these problems the research on storage incentives is already ongoing for a while and it's progressing at quite a nice pace as we start to understand exactly what we are dealing with and we are collecting the materials and developing the tools which will eventually be combined and yields the solution that we envision and you are hopefully waiting for i would love to shed more light on this but unfortunately the event crew decided to cut the time short for the whole event for 45 minutes so i'm afraid i'm already over time however i will be in gothic town so you can ask me your questions over there also i'm on discord under my username acneer and i will definitely write blog posts on this topic coming up so you can also catch me there in the reactions i assume um and with this the only thing that is left for me is to wish everybody a wonderful solstice a merry christmas and a happy new year and really thank you so much for being here with us thank you so much okay it's been cool okay thank you so much for your for your presentation uh as just he mentioned you can catch up on with him on galata so back to today let me introduce one cool little thing uh now that may solve some of the problems some crypto teams are having in the cryptocurrency teams like teams that have exchanges that create gains and i would just say two words oh two words and a half decentralized frontends and to speak about this we have atila the track leader of the javascript team hello everyone thank you antonio can you hear me yes loud and clear all right then i will share my screen um me just yeah entire screen presentation i made a presentation about how you um achieve decentralized front-ends and something called business.link basically securely hosting the apps and permissionless publishing on swarm so um we had like a swarm foundation we we published our roadmap by lego and the first milestone was host unstoppable content on swarm and that means uploading and downloading content such as website or nfd data and this functionality can be accessed through all the swarm products including the gateways form click from the chrome extension dashboard and djs and so the javascript team is responsible for on this list for everything except for the b client and we started like working on websites for a long time ago and we realized that in order to like have uh unstoppable content on swarm we also need to solve one problem regarding the how you access your files and we imagine like how you if like in browser you would have support for someone already your links would look like something on the left but unfortunately this is not the case yet so our links look like something that on the right and that's not very easy to use that's not very easy to communicate and also it has problems with how the browser achieves security and also it breaks some assumptions that applications may have so in order to overcome that we created a new service that's called bcc.link and with that the the links are quite simple and short and it also likes provides um enough security like um like that two applications does so that to to host your websites on top of swarm and then you can see that if you register an ems name then you can use it as a subdomain to visit the link and your resources can be also accessed with the transformation of the link but that's also provided in all the products that we are supporting so this is the the full spectrum of the the products that the js team is working on and on the left side you can see that the on the top actually uh the direction is the ease of use so like whichever it's not more higher then it means it's easier to use and something on the on the right side is gives you more control and basically we have the gateway for the easiest use case so that you can just go to the gateway website and try out one without having to install anything and you can currently like via did this today that you can upload your websites on the gateway it's limited it only it can be only 10 megabytes but if your website is less than 10 megabytes then you can just use that if you want more than that then you can use the dashboard and you can run the dashboard with your own b node and therefore you can you're not limit between how much data you can upload and you can also control your own postage stamps that basically define how long your data stays on the network we also have a swarm extension which is a browser extension for chrome which also integrates with the dashboard so you can use all the functionality of the dashboard from it but with your own node and it also provides experimental support for busy.links so that your this busy.link is normally points to a centralized gateway provided by the swarm foundation but if you use the swarm extension it will translate these links to your local b node and therefore you don't need to go through a middleman and then we have also the swarm cli tool which is cli tool with many features and um and also we have the javascript libraries that we built all these other products upon and this is the full spectrum and all of these supports this is link from today so i suggest you to try this out and if you have more questions like how to host websites on swarm and how to use the b dashboard then see you in getter town i will be under the name of attila swarm so you will find me there that's my presentation thank you thank you so much attila cool so now let's talk about metaverse uh metaverse which actually was a pretty cool world before and now it's getting rebranded into web3 which is also a cool world but isn't well used to be cooler so well we have something ready that may change a little bit how digital scarce assets behave though and when i talk about digital scarce assets of course i'm talking about rocks talking about punks about apes about lions and some others talking about nfts and to speak about nft tech we have oytek also from the javascript team hello project hi antonio can you hear me yes we can all right perfect so hello everyone i'm quite excited to talk to you today about nfts but most importantly about something we called the developer integration initiative so i'm a developer myself and when i build things i often run into problems or have technical questions and while most of my problems are solved with google and stack overflow sometimes they aren't which leads to developer rage and broken keyboards so over the past few months we have started to add developers like me to the grant program to give the grantees technical guidance and we'd like to extend this to pretty much everyone who integrates swarm and it doesn't matter if you are a large recognized project like web3.

js and you want to update your existing swarm integration or an individual who spends their evening playing with the technology uh like igor uh which give me one second because uh something happened and my computer doesn't want to share my screen all right well uh seems like i cannot share my screen so igor has built has built this very cool nft library called swarm nft and it makes it very easy to mint uh uploads to swarm and publish your nfts so i guess the call to action from today is if you are working on a product that integrates swarm and you are building some cool stuff reach out to us we will do our best to provide you technical guidance if you have any questions or you want to talk about your project come and hang out with me in gattertown after the event so that's voytek and together let's reduce the development range and let's save some keyboards that's thank you so much my dad as you can see we are streaming live okay we don't press the play button it's all happening in real time thank you so much right there okay so now let's move on to products and things that work on top of swarm uh whenever i want to explain swarm to somebody which is who's not none uh none from a technology uh he's not non-tech uh even if it's not the best analogy i always say well yeah it's like uh dropbox meet bitcoin and they kind of get it uh well there's a product and there's a it's a web3 product which is going in this direction and the name of this product is is fair drive and to speak about that let me introduce angela the product manager of fair drive hello angela hello there thanks so much antonio um so just a quick refresher fair drive is our decentralized storage product which allows developers to create and build interoperable decentralized and open source depths that allow users to reclaim their privacy and own their own data so all great things um so that said i'm delighted to share a few updates with all of you as to what we've been working on um efforts have really ramped up on development within fair drive to add new features in addition to refactoring what was already there i'm excited to share that we'll be launching the latest version to mainnet uh by the end of the year which will have a cohesive brand a vastly improved user experience and all around more functionality so some new things to familiarize yourself with as it relates to fair drive i'm going to start specifically with updates in the drive portion itself um so drive again the storage component to fair drive now supports uploading a csv directly into the pod's key value store so this is really exciting because it will allow for queries of the data inside which again could be a really powerful tool um what goes in can come out so you can now download files stored in your fare drive in addition to deleting files um searching and sorting has gotten easier and by easier um it exists now so you can search your fare drive for specific files dapps etc by both name and function and then we're also giving you five common options on how you want your files sorted um as you see them in drive and then any pod or file can be shared and displayed in a in a friend's fare drive by selecting the file in pod and then copying a generated share link so i can easily toggle back and forth in my fare drive to see which files i own and which ones i am sharing out and then there's also a visual icon so that you can visually assess what you're sharing and what you're not next i wanted to give just a few quick updates on the explore portion of the product and so this is what i call sort of the dap marketplace but it's for the applications that developers have created um and built that support that interoperability and decentralization so today we're currently supporting dracula which you may or may not be familiar with but it's the markdown editor dap that creates the readme files that can be saved directly in fair drive um we also have consents so this is a viewer where you can check all the data that you had signed for sharing in a consent receipt and then we also have photo viewer this has been implemented for a while but it's been updated to more seamlessly open with fair drive um so there's no longer a clash in the ui but rather design parity and then overall improvements have been made so that the viewing of images in fair drive is faster and easier um so this is just a taste of what we have been developing and we certainly have big plans for 2022 um perhaps maybe utilizing the swarm nft library just to tease a bit um but all that said i do invite you to join me in gather town to take a closer look at some of these key features um including a very special look at a meme that i'm saving in my fare drive um that's in support of an announcement that my colleague nina will be making shortly so i hope to see you in gather town and if you have any additional questions either gather town or i'm angela v on discord and that's it thanks antonio thank you so much angela pretty cool right okay moving on uh let me ask you something well from a user perspective what is a property that will make web3 solutions flourish making web 2 solutions obsolete well for that for this question there are multiple answers okay there's multiple things that will come to your mind uh privacy security a lot of stuff but there's one key property where web 2 fails miserably and i've been myself been working in iot for lots of years and i've seen this thing in real life it's it's uh it's really it's well so uh this property that made that webtree has is called interoperability and this is a protocol thing to speak about file interoperability we have today church athlete and victor hello hello antonio uh i hope you can hear me yes okay great great so i would say a few words about the fair data protocol and fair drive improvement proposals uh which are as well as fair drive developed under a fair little society so we know interoperability is is at the core of decentralized ecosystem development so fair drive the apps using it and libraries offered by the verita society provide the sandbags sandbox to experiment on but fair data protocol will make everything more robust but also bring interoperability to the next level fair drive improvement proposals are a way to contribute to the fair later protocol get your feet wet maybe by getting involved through discord so please visit the liberate data tent gather town for more information about this ferreta protocol development is starting full swing in 2022 and i invite victor thoth to present the roadmap hello everyone hello victor we can hear you thank you thank you yes i'm gonna present now do you see yes great so as i was introduced i'm with victor told and you can find me with nickname nogon on github that was there was a high demands to to create an ecosystem from our parts towards the worksheet uh i would like to introduce you the third data protocol um that utilizes and interconnects already existing decentralized technologies such as of course form or ethereum blockchain in at that level and make a consensus on how to properly use those together via improvement proposals there are few principles that are working towards that we are working towards in such an ecosystem as you see here um the first one is creating a window into the underlying dirty file system uh it's more like the users personally then having battery storage for devs to connect to and use so for their developers then organize personal data and hello for access and cross access to it it means like how the personal data on battery will be handled and how the depth can interact with it and access it and last but not least have to transform data into information uh as us as you probably know a transform handles the data in a decentralized peer-to-peer manner but in order to that's use each other's data or even aggregate on it uh we need to reach consensus about data structures and else for that we planned already a big roadmap for achieving this which has six milestones as you see um the first five milestones via the fully functioning uh web free ecosystem on a transform uh to mention some um it is this one is it defines a small contract interfaces to register user users depths or data structures on blockchain and create single sign on battery accounts in browsers that can interact with depth and manage app specific keepers and eventually drive into the reliable web 3d services with data economics that the user data handling enters into its new era um the fair data protocol will go beyond ethereum form and blockchain integrations and libraries with the last blend mice and to integrate other applications into its solutions such as databases and other peer-to-peer services like like xss every idea is manifested first in the form of improvement proposal and that has an exact process how to how it can be passed and executed you also can contribute with your own idea by creating an improvement proposal and and share that on github uh from proposals uh binaries and smart contract interfaces can fall out that the dev developers can use in their uh product uh you can you can see the list here that we planned for surely and um so so if you if you want to share your thoughts uh create the improvement proposal or just want to learn more about the project scan this clear code here that leads to the github repository of ftp i've also prepared with one demo application which is related to fedex protocol so i invite everyone who is interested in this topic for the demo session as you learn within mini after week thank you thank you so much victor okay now let's talk about data data that creates our identity in the interwebs that is what defines us of the digital world and as you as aware as you are aware of data is being taken away from us we have some initiatives that will kick start pretty pretty soon to start uploading data the way it should be uploaded we call it the great data upload and to speak about this we have again our swiss army knife man chair totally thank you antonio watch out i can be very sharp so the great data uploads so what is it about it is providing all of humanity's data on self sovereign decentralized storage why well to liberate the data from the silos as they might now reside in and take it to the network of peers instead with all the benefits of decentralization including self-sovereign storage not dependent on any cloud provider we have to start to liberate the data with availability so putting public data on the centralized storage fairly the society can here provide gateways for swarm and ferro s to more interested contributors these gateways can be used to contribute public data sets and also to contribute more easily to the galileo mapping initiative we invite you here to become a country maintainer and note that building maps on earth is just a stepping stone towards building pieces of the so called metaverse so visit the liberate data tenth in gather town for more info and then i ask you if data is uploaded to swarm but no one knows about it does it exist well um i didn't finish it so so we have to continue with discoverability and let's start simple build a directory of public data on decentralized storage let's grow the directory by the community make it available for indexes indexers indexing upgrade the technology used for the directory through fair drive improvement proposals and in line with what fair data protocol developments bring about so again maybe more info at the tent uh i would also use this opportunity to announce that we started some bitcoin bounty campaigns to support to support the community efforts and you can already apply for a couple of bounties related to the availability and discoverability of data so let's liberate data together and move towards the great data upload and now i'm finished thank you antonio yeah let's let's thank you so much sir okay that was that was a cool cool announcement uh but that's not all that's no we still have a couple of things left uh first it's announcements time so let's start with announcements in regards grants and an accelerator program for this we have tamash and robert who will speak about it please join unicorn hoarders where are you there you are thank you antonio can you hear me yes yes a big hello to everyone present here i'm happy to be with you as antonio mentioned before my name is tomas and i'm taking care of the grant program talking about 2021 there was a growing interest in the grand program and the overwhelming response to our grand waves brought us satisfaction as i already mentioned we made a point where we had to satisfy a growing demand for the program and we are still processing the last grand values and if anybody here is interested to join the swarm grand team you are welcome we have a real spectrum of different solutions and teams in the program projects that are building infrastructure infrastructure of swarm teams that build new economies using nfts teams that seek censorship resistant solutions in a nutshell the teams are utilizing the powers of swarm later you can you are welcome to check some of them out when you are joining us in the in the event there is a grantee stage there and you can visit and check some of the projects and now attention please drumroll we are excited to announce pura vida a new grand wave pura vida means pure life and is also something that swarm promotes through fair data society principles you can find the application form at my.itsform.org how to grow your project transform or the next step from the grants is the accelerator program therefore i'm passing the mic to robert wherever he is in the watch thank you damashi i tried to keep it to one side and i'll do that let's see slide there we go okay i'm robert i'm responsible for the swarm accelerator program uh which i'll talk about um it's named honeycomb and uh as itself in the past year as tomas already mentioned we've grown in the amount of retention we've got uh at the events at uh uh all the outings at the fair day today swarm one event the swarm summer school um so growth and attention from users node providers and as tomas mentioned grantees building projects and swarm and for that we have to thank you as a community and now that we have grown we'd like to help you grow and we're for that we're opening up the acceleration program it's called honeycomb it starts in april april 1st that's not a joke it's a 10-week program and we with blts support business legal tech society for those who remember the summer school program and have visited it they might recognize the type of workshops and lectures we'll provide and support with implementations as well for who um is event if you're a startup if you're already building on swarm if you intend to build on swarm or if you're an independent project building your own solution you're welcome to join us why would you uh to bring your product to market so once you've had your proof concept once you have your minimum viable product and you want to validate it find your product market fit or start fundraising we'll help you get there how to get there you can register uh via this link my.ethorum.org accelerator um the link that tomas just mentioned my.

eastform.org grants goes directly to grant providers and this one goes directly to the signup form for the accelerator program early selection starts january 18th so make sure to be among the first applicants if you have any further questions about the program find us on discord and i will be at the gather town meeting as well right after this event and we are providing one spot as a wildcard at a future event and for that i'd like to give the word to meena thank you [Music] thank you okay so now uh and thomas stole my drum roll so i'm not going to do it but it's now now it's time for the one more thing moment and this moment is about drawing a line in the sand about creating a brighter digital world about collective building but it's not me who's going to speak about it it's our in-house artist north korean tourist please welcome mina spigo thanks antonio so yes i am very happy to announce that swarm is organizing the second fair data society hackathon in march starting on march the 1st it is called we are millions because we believe that we are millions in the recognition of a free digital world a web-free plural universe so with this open public event we are preparing a playground for artists gamers developers activists crypto and non-crypto people that share the values of fair data society to meet to connect interact collaborate or just hang out together and inspire each other the participants will hopefully enter the whole event open-minded and exit having forged new ties ideas projects partnerships there will be interesting debates with sharp speakers to present new views there will be presentations of promising projects uh projects in development and there will be discussions to spark heated conversations on how we envision the future around web3 technologies it's also you know the event to give ideas on what yet has to be developed and to expose potential weaknesses on the way to building a million verses after the daily online business as unusual section as we call it there will also be the so-called afters online and in physical locations spread around europe so you'll be able to continue your talks meet each other in person in a more informal casual environments chat over drinks and party together this is an effort done by the community for the community we are millions scattered around the globe so we invite you to step under the fair data society umbrella get actively involved and join swarm in building this first of a kind event the date is set march 1st to 21st so reach out to us in ghetto town now to explore this adventure further i'll be there and i hope to see you too thank you so much mina yeah this we are millions uh online and it's gonna be it's gonna be something uh so to conclude please allow me to give the floor to gregor who is in some under some ascii world uh hello greg the metaverse in construction i'm here at the metaverse construction site all right yeah just it's like it's it's the you know it's the transitional world towards our gathered town oh cool i'm just i'm just waiting to enter gather town as soon as we finish here yeah it's still it's still light beats but it's nice it's nice yeah floor is yours well nothing nothing to say except uh when it's been a year huh antonio it's been a year it's been it's been a ride it's like when i think about it it's the this year started first with the first hackathon uh that we did then uh then we went onto the test net there was test net explosion gurley went down then we worked our way you know like uh towards launching the token uh then finalizing the token sale on coin list with uh 400 000 people being registered and eventually launching on mainnet then facing the adversity of the mainnet releasing uh four new releases doing swan summer school galileo fair drive i mean i probably forgot already something you know and as tomasz said then we have the grantees they they just take things further they continue they give us the input it's like really really interesting to see like guys like that who are augmenting the web ethernet doing the youtube without the middleman uh waggle uh implementing decentralized inboxes envelope working on unstoppable nfps this is something to check out also in the gather town how swarm can truly make unstoppable nfts and not just that by the way it can also make dynamic energies that work excellent with uh oracles so uh you know like projects like nectar which is essentially first day five project on top of swarm uh exploring uh what additional crypto economics and incentives in the ecosystem can come to fruition and actually enable products for enterprise so yeah it's been a lot early yeah yeah probably nothing right yeah yeah probably nothing like you said you know so it's uh and this you know it's like now when it's the end of the year i i look back and i mean all these things that i mentioned it doesn't take a matter of genius to figure out that only we can do this through collaboration but only that only as a team as a team we can do this and um yes i'm really grateful to the team it's been an amazing ride uh the team did amazing job so yeah it's been a hell of a year yeah it's been a hell of a year and what's what's up for us in 2022 well you know it's like as much as it was exciting this year i think we have some uh some more things in store for the next year because uh now our pieces are coming together and we we see you know like the car has left the garage like we now put higher gear like uh church said deliberate data efforts uh putting humanities data on swarm it's uh ring announced uh new incentives so this should enable i would say emergence of decent first decentralized service networks and additional uh reward possibilities for the node operators then uh it's um i think we will see in my opinion emergence of a bunch of purpose-driven communities and this i believe these communities will be organized as dallas so i think it's going to be very exciting to see how swarm can uh grow with doused and be more like a doll and at the same time support those and this all fits our this grand topic of empowering digital freedom so uh i think uh yeah it's going to be very very interesting here looking very much ahead yeah looking forward thank you so much gregor thank you so much for your for your comments thank you thank you and
