Beam News!
‘Tis the Spooky Season, and this week there is a lot to cover, from NFTS to 7.2 and Confidential Assets. Let us dive in and check it all out!
NFTs
A year ago we set out to celebrate Halloween with a little art competition that lead to a whole lot more, namely the NFT gallery and ever growing community of enjoyers and collectors in the Beam ecosystem. It has been great to see the community grow, getting involved with the NFTs and other features as they roll out!
If you haven’t already, nows the time to get a minting!
Beam = Unstoppable
It is with great pleasure that we share the news that Beam has been integrated with Unstoppable Domains.
Users can now use the Beam Web Wallet with their Unstoppable Web3 Domains, making the ease of sending and receiving ever easier!
7.2 is Here!
That is right, the hotly anticipated 7.2 release is here! Going live on mainnet last week, the 7.2 update brought with it Asset Swaps. These can be found right from within the Beam Desktop Wallet, and allow users to trade between Beam and Confidential Assets. This has seen a number of CAs being created in order to further the ecosystem, and have some fun trading.
With the Asset Swaps having launched, what better time to look at some of the CAs sitting comfy in the wallets, and catching bids on the swap board!
CAs
The Beam ecosystem continues to grow, and with it the number of projects utilising Confidential Assets. Let us take a look at some of the stand outs!
BeamBots → $BB
The BeamBots tokens, $BB, initial utility is to award $BB token holders governance power in the BeamBots DAO, which will accompany their already thriving BeamBots NFT collection!
BeamBots envision additional utilities and functionalities for $BB such as incentivizing users to actively vote on the BeamX DAO, staking $BB tokens on BeamX DAPPs to gain discounts, revenue-sharing in the BeamBots NFT ecosystem and more.
With the launch of the new BeamNFT.art platform we hope we can start to deliver the $BB to our supporters.
The BeamBots crew are also seeking out a new addition to their team. If you see yourself as a budding community manager, and privacy lover, get in touch with the team on Telegram or Twitter!
Tico Tip → $TICO
The pirate's parrot 🦜 Tico, is a fully private, zero-carbon emission via fair launch, money. They are having a lot of fun over in the Tico Telegram, posting birbs, getting tips, and dropping envelopes!
Burb is the word!
Another great initiative coming out of the Tico community is Tico being bridged to Binance Smart Chain and being tradeable on pancake swap in the form of $WTICO (wrapped Tico). The WTICO project has been lead by the one and only Tropyc Stoic, and rumour has it with the Beam bridges launching soon they will be taking TICO to all the chains!
Tico comes from the Bank of Duck project, who are long term supporters of Beam and vigorous contributors to the ecosystem.
BeamNFT.art → $SPH
This will be the governance token for the BeamNFT.art ecosystem, enabling users to stake and vote on NFTs and their collections spurring growth and maintaining the platform. The team is working hard on their gallery 2.0 release, along with a fun play to earn game that is gearing up for launch in the form of Terrible Creatures vs Knights!
Prism… KEK → $KEK + $PRISM
The Prism and Kek squad are by all means in it for the keks. They are bootstraping the Beam Community Development channel and aiming to bring tooling for devs and creators alike. They look to bring fun and camaraderie to the ecosystem, and are the claimed to be the first meme coin on the Beam blockchain, not something to take lightly. Get your Kek on below!
Triquetra aka Celtic Circle Coin → $TQR
In a world where it is always flag day…
This new installation from Bank of Duck strives to enable a dapp which will allow anyone with any unsold NFT to earn $TQR by redeeming the unsold NFT to BoD, via their forthcoming DApp. They aim to incentivise both artists and collectors by providing a backstop for all NFTs!
