Beam News
A busy week for Beam and a busy week for the “wen stake”ers. Although this week we do not come with a firm date, we assure you that the utmost efforts are being taken in order to make the staking contracts funds safe, and the user experience an enjoyable one. With that in mind, and all the confidential DeFi excitement, it’s important remember what Beam stands for. You guessed it, Privacy!
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!
