@ethswarm Bee ultra-light node running in a browser via a Service Worker

Doesn't 100% work yet (file upload and download doesn't work) but it's able to peer with other nodes, save some state to a browser and query API endpoints but it's a huge progress

Swarm is a decentralised storage and communication system. This is Swarm Foundation's official Farcaster account. | https://linkfork.io/ethswarm

The whole WASM binary is around ~70MB, most of it is go-libp2p. Later on it could be compressed with tinygo, but it currently lacks support for some std modules

In order to enable compilation for the whole thing I had to fork GoLevelDB to use JS syscalls to a ZenFS filesystem, fix go-libp2p WASM compilation by explicitly omitting some files from WASM compilation, and write a WASM compatible libp2p websocket transport

Once Swarm network enables WebSocket libp2p transports by default and gets TLS support, it will be way easier for browser bee nodes to connect to a global networks and pull files, essentially allowing decentralized serverless storage ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

I suppose this could also be partially solved by libp2p decoupling more stuff into smaller modules
