Discord announcement:

🚨 Attention: The public testnet for Bee development is being switched to Sepolia 

📅 All Swarm contracts are already live on the Sepolia testnet, and as of DATE, it will become the primary environment for Bee testing. 

Any important data which has been uploaded with Goerli testnet nodes should be downloaded and backed up as soon as possible, as it will no longer be retrievable after DATE. 🛑

We encourage all testnet node operators to start setting up new Bee nodes on the Sepolia testnet now. 

Sepolia sBZZ can be acquired on [this Uniswap market](https://app.uniswap.org/swap?outputCurrency=0x543dDb01Ba47acB11de34891cD86B675F04840db&inputCurrency=ETH&chain=sepolia), don't forget to switch your network in your browser wallet to Sepolia.

Sepolia ETH can be obtained from multiple faucets such as [this one from Infura](https://www.infura.io/faucet/sepolia).

Your continued support is greatly appreciated! 🐝
