Web3's leading privacy blockchain. Ushering a new era for crypto with private DeFi!
Bridge from Ethereum to make your $ETH, $USDT and $wBTC private-by-default.
๐ The latest #Beam Biweekly brings development updates, the community spotlight, and more.
This edition features BeamTerminal โ bringing DEX swaps, cross-chain atomic swaps, asset swaps, and more into one unified UI.

@l2beat Or just use a privacy blockchain like #Beam, where privacy is default, and all 6 core practices mentioned by @l2beat are baked into the foundation of our privacy-preserving protocols.
๐นno addresses.
๐นno user metadata stored on-chain.
๐นno IP leaks.
@defyneric private stables have been live on Beam since 2023.
1. @NephriteMoney ($NPH) is native to Beam, heavily inspired by @LiquityProtocol on Ethereum.
2. private wrapped USDT and DAI, bridged over from Ethereum.
all work seamlessly in private DeFi.
๐ขBeam Anonymous Naming Service (BANS) Update:
The next BANS release will include a fix that makes it possible to purchase previously expired BANS domains again.
The update will go live on May 30th 12:00UTC.
Check if you have any expired domains and extend them if needed.
Meanwhile at #Beam
1. privacy is by-default at a network-level. no requirements/what-ifs
2. all assets share the same level of Web3-leading privacy.
3. private stablecoins have existed on Beam since 2023. Wrapped private USDT and DAI, and the native stablecoin @NephriteMoney.
"Privacy might feel great when Zcash is up 30%. It doesn't feel great when it's down 30%. We need private stablecoins"
Kain on the obvious thing in crypto that nobody has landed yet
"I went down the Zcash rabbit hole and the challenge is the core asset is the only one that is private on Zcash. In order to have privacy, you hold Zcash properly shielded. But it's somewhat volatile"
"It seems really obvious that we need private stablecoins. Zcash has thought about this, the community has multiple proposals. But no one's really landed it"
"Tornado Cash had a USDC pool for a long time. But it's not enough to just have one pool. You need enough for it to actually work and be scalable"
@zordcrypt Beam is one of the pioneers of Programmable Privacy with smart contracts launched back in 2021!
for cypherpunk maxi privacy, Beam uses a trifecta of Mimblewimble; LelantusMW for shielded pools (similar to Zcash); and our in-house version of ZK called Bulletproofs.
#BeamDidYouKnow
๐The #Beam blockchain is incredibly cost-efficient.
Just 1 $BEAM (~US$0.047) is good enough for 1000 transactions.
Add private-by-default transactions and private #DeFi to the equation. And that's a winning combination!
Examples of how @beamprivacy makes the difference by upholding the mentioned values:
Decentralization:
ALL blockchains that support smartcontracts have centralized dapp frontends. On Beam dapps load truly decentrally or locally and execute locally.
Ownership:
Transaction history, addresses, and balances are not stored on chain. Instead, all this metadata remains safely stored encrypted locally on the user's personal device, meaning users truly "own" their data.
Sovereignty:
On Beam you enjoy true financial independence. There is no dependency on 3th parties and users decide with who they decide to share their data with.
Security:
Beam's Mimblewimble blockchain is protected by LelantusMW and Dandelion++.
Privacy:
Beam conceals the sender, receiver, and transaction amounts. Instead of broadcasting public addresses and visible balances, transactions are completely confidential. This prevents passive network attacks and safeguards users from being tracked, ensuring total fungibility and financial anonymity.
