Beam News!

Things are heating up with the latest releases here, the 7.2 release on the horizon, and the Hard Fork coming this week to bring into effect the latest network wide upgrades. Let us dive in and check it out!

Hard Fork!

As has been announced previously, Beam will execute a Hard Fork at block 1,920,000 expected to occur around 9am, GMT, on the 2nd of September.

If you haven’t already upgraded, you can find the links to the latest wallets here:

• iOS

• Android

• Mac

• Windows

• Linux

• Web Wallet

It is essential for all users to upgrade their wallets in order to continue to use Beam as usual once the Hard Fork block height hits. Wallets will need to be version 7.1 + in order to remain compatible.

Breaking changes

The main breaking change comes in accordance with the Beam Improvement Proposal 1. BIP1 was passed voting by the Beam community to reduce the amount for minting new confidential assets to 10 $BEAM.

Minor changes

• Improvements to the Beam wallet DApp support come with the latest version, including that of the recently released Beam Anonymous Naming Service (BANS) application.

• Addition of Shader capabilities to verify fork heights to support fork-dependent features

Post Hard Fork the focus will shift to furthering the confidential DeFi ecosystem with future DApps and improvements to those already live!
