Beam 2021 Week #30

Published on: 27.07.2021

Beam introduced Recap of Week #30, covering July 19th – July 25th 2021.

Best-in-class

Beam, from the get go, had its roots firm with the focus that the new financial system and web3 needed strong privacy in order to succeed as intended. Empowering users to take back control of their finances, without the same prying eyes we see in web2 monetising and capitalising our data, often without our knowledge.

So time for a quick recap on some of the key privacy components that make Beam Best-In-Class!

Mimblewimble
Blockchain protocol containing only UTXOs. Hiding the sender, receiver, and amount transacted between wallets.
LelantusMW
A privacy powerhouse, with the shielded pool protecting against flashlight attacks with an anon set of 64k(!!!).
Dandelion
Obfuscate the transaction’s origin, nodes send the transaction on several hops, before it is randomly broadcast to the wider network.

Beam continues to bring the best-in-class privacy to users throughout the globe. Read more on why its a cause worth fighting for in:
