Introduction
Swarm is a system of peer-to-peer networked nodes for a decentralised storage and communication service.
Swarm could shape the future towards a self-sovereign global society and permissionless open markets. On Swarm, applications run autonomously yet securely in a planetary-scale deployment and execution environment.
Bee is a Swarm client implemented in Go. It’s the basic building block for the Swarm Network.
Bee provides low level constructs for file storage, feeds, key-value stores and untraceable communication, through solid, well-tested code delivered in an agile manner.
Key technologies are Go, libp2p, protobuf, leveldb, and go-ethereum, as well as various cryptographic libraries.

- Take architectural decisions for our p2p distributed network
- Suggest improvements for our codebase and the testing process
- Development of the reference Swarm implementation in Go aka Bee
- Developing domain-specific knowledge and expertise in the Swarm incentive layer implementation
