Swarm Association announces phase 2 of the Wikipedia on Swarm prize.

The Wikipedia Prize, launched at the Swarm Summer Solstice event in June 2022, sought for a solution that observes a Wikipedia offline archive and uploads it to the Swarm network, and it had an initial reward pot of 50k DAI to be paid in BZZ.
