## Description

The first Swarm Community Call of 2026 focused on what’s shipping next in Bee 2.7, what the Research track is stabilizing at the protocol level, and two concrete ecosystem integrations: the Swarm Plugin for Hedera/Hashgraph and an x402 payment flow that makes “pay → upload → share” feel native for apps and agents.
