Beam Demonstrates 107GB Data Transfer
markjeffrey · x · 2026-07-12
The Beam team reported a continuous transfer of 107GB of data in just 2 minutes and 16 seconds over the Beam network.
They emphasized that this was a real-world transfer completed via Beam Transfer Studio and Beam Protocol (SN105) on Bittensor, not a synthetic benchmark. The team also recalled a previous demo transferring 50GB (across 5 concurrent 10GB streams) in roughly 51 seconds. Their ultimate goal is to establish decentralized bandwidth as the core infrastructure for enterprise AI, massive data mobility, and the agentic era.
