Seawolf, the latest version of Swell, has surfaced on the Goerli testnet.
This milestone marks the first public test of Swell's new architecture, which was designed to create a simple, secure, and scalable liquid staking protocol. Plus, the launch reveals Swell's newly simplified staking interface for the first time.
The goal of this release is to test the protocol ahead of the mainnet launch. As the deployment is completely permissionless, anyone can dive in to independently explore and experiment.

You will need a little Goerli ETH (GETH) to deposit on the platform (0.01 GETH will be enough). Swell is not able to provide this, but you can source it from one of these faucets listed on Ethereum.org:
Wen mainnet?
The Swell codebase is currently undergoing an audit in preparation for its launch on the Ethereum mainnet, expected in late April 2023.
