Beam 6.0 hard fork for more privacy in DeFi



The crypto platform Beam is planning a relaunch for more privacy on decentralized financial markets ( DeFi ). Transactions should become more secure and discreet and offer more privacy.


Decentralized financial markets ( DeFi ) offer the advantage that users can completely decide about their property and assets. Quite the opposite of the traditional financial system, where the financial business is subject to a multitude of laws and rules.


However, DeFi has one disadvantage: no privacy. All actions (and transactions) can be tracked directly on the blockchain, such as Ethereum, and are visible to the public. You not only see who has which wallets, but also all activities that originate from these wallets. Beam wants to solve exactly this problem and is introducing a new hard fork that is supposed to create more privacy and transparency. " With the hard fork, Beam closes a large gap in decentralized financial markets, " said Beam's official statement in the latest news update.


What the relaunch is about

It starts on June 13th at block 1,280,000. The aim of the relaunch is to transmit updates for the beam shaders and the integration of the beam virtual machine live into the mainnet. Updates will also optimize the entire program (including the logic behind it) and better coordinate it with the needs of the user. For Beam, this is a big step in the right direction to make Defi trustworthy in the future.


But despite all the euphoria, there are also critical voices who believe that the new hard fork is not compatible with the old wallets. The question arises whether those who do not update themselves run the risk that their wallet is suddenly no longer compatible. The answer to this question is currently still open. But first about the background of Beam.

The background of Beam

Beam's goal is to create a platform and cryptocurrency that can be used in the real world. This is particularly about transactions by users and companies that Beam would like to make more trustworthy.


"No company in the world wants all of their financial movements to be publicly tracked."


The topic of privacy is not new to crypto. If you look at cryptocurrencies such as ZCash and Monero, they offer a higher level of trustworthiness, but no real privacy. Beam recognized this gap and created new possibilities with Mimblewimble and Lelantus MW protocols.


Mimblewimble is a technology named after a Harry Potter spell (Yes, you read that right!). With its own protection program, it offers complete privacy for user-defined transactions and also supports time-limited swaps, atomic swaps, and escrows.

A hard fork for privacy

The main goal of the hard fork is to bring more privacy to Defi. This is implemented by installing an upgrade, the Beam shader, on its own platform. The beam shader runs within the beam virtual machine, which works according to its own logic. For Beam, this is the key to more privacy. It also enables developers to create Defi applications such as confidential assets, AMM pools, lending, stable coins, and others.  


Thanks to the decentralized application option ( dApps ), the hard fork extends the framework for all financial activities that offer users more security and privacy.


You have to know that Beam was not always a decentralized platform on Defi . It was only through the recently initiated implementation of BeamX DAO that decentralization became possible in the first place. This step also made it possible to turn the Beam Foundation into a decentralized DAO control.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
