Beam News
The latest week saw a lot of discussion about the recently launched NFTs, with some new additions on both the NFT and Gallery fronts! Before all that, let’s take a step back and take a look at what Beam is all about!
Mine Moar Beam!
Last week bought up the 100 millionth mined Beam, and with that comes a reminder to mine moar Beam! As a proof of work crypto currency, Beam relies on GPU hash power to secure the network, and keep our transactions flowing. With the latest staking campaign and launch of the NFT marketplace, the Beam transactions are ramping up, giving miners a bigger reward on top of the block subsidy. Expect this to increase further with the roll out of more Dapps in the coming months!

Beam NFTs
The last week saw high demand from the community to re open the minting of NFTs utilising the current Alpha version of the confidential NFT Gallery.
