BEAM (BEAM)

1. Project Introduction

BEAM is a next generation confidential cryptocurrency based on an elegant and innovative
Mimblewimble protocol.

Things that make BEAM special include:

Users have complete control over privacy - a user decides which information will be available
and to which parties, having complete control over his personal data in accordance to
his will and applicable laws.
Confidentiality without penalty - in BEAM confidential transactions do not cause bloating
of the blockchain, avoiding excessive computational overhead or penalty on performance
or scalability while completely concealing the transaction value.
No trusted setup required.
Blocks are mined using Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm.
Limited emission using periodic halving with total amount of coins ~250 million.
No addresses are stored in the blockchain - no information whatsoever about either the
sender or the receiver of a transaction is stored in the blockchain.
Superior scalability through compact blockchain size - using the "cut-through" feature of
Mimblewimble makes the BEAM blockchain orders of magnitude smaller than any other
blockchain implementation.
BEAM supports many transaction types such as escrow transactions, time locked
transactions, atomic swaps and more.
No premine. No ICO. Backed by a treasury, emitted from every block during the first five
years
Implemented from scratch in C++ by a team of professional developers
