-June was a month of stabilization and showing up in person. With the v2.8.0 security release out the door, the [Bee team](https://github.com/ethersphere/bee) got back on its regular track and closed the month with the next patch, **[v2.8.1](https://blog.ethswarm.org/foundation/2026/bee-2-8-1-release/)**, locked in and publicly announced for July 7. On the tooling side, **[Bee-JS](https://github.com/ethersphere/bee-js/releases/tag/v12.2.2)** shipped a round of fixes while preparing a larger security-minded cleanup for its next release, **[Swarm-CLI](https://github.com/ethersphere/swarm-cli/releases/tag/v3.3.0)** redesigned its ACT access control around a single access command, and **[Swarm Gateway](https://github.com/ethersphere/gateway-ui)** and **[Bee Factory](https://github.com/ethersphere/bee-factory)** continued to stabilize as developer infrastructure. Across the wider ecosystem, Solar Punk delivered reliability and UX fixes for Swarm Desktop and Bee Dashboard while pushing ahead on AI marketplaces and video streaming. And beyond the code, Swarm spent a full week out in the world at Berlin Blockchain Week — talks, panels, workshops, and a collective livecoding experiment — with the June Community Call bringing the field report home.
