Beam News!

A big week for Beam as the community front thrives, with more and more Confidential Assets entering the ecosystem, the Beam Feature request initiative kicking off, and some great initial requests pouring in from the community! Let us dive in and check it all out!

Beam Community Projects

In the recent weeks we have seen a sharp increase in the number of Beam Community projects. To organise and assist these welcome efforts we propose the following procedures:

Add your project to the list of Beam Community projects on Beam Forum
Add Feature Requests for any additional features and improvements required to make your project possible and successful.
Join the Beam Development Support channel in Telegram and do not hesitate to ask questions or request help with implementation and support of your project.
Join Beam Community on Telegram and promote your project. Be respectful of other community members and other project developers!

It is great to see more and more projects kicking off each week, with plenty happening in the Beam ecosystem, and even more to look forward to.

Beam Feature Requests

Last week we kicked off the Beam Feature Request initiative. This aims to align the ongoing development efforts with the community and the projects adding to the Beam ecosystem, and further decentralise those efforts by opening bounties to the wider developers.

The first week saw an influx of Beam Feature Requests, for a full list check out the Beam Forum, and let us have a quick look at the main events:

Request to add asset id to the Asset Swap marketplace (https://forum.beam.mw/t/show-asset-id-in-asset-swap-order-book/375/2) was assigned designation FR 6 and was moved to development. It is expected to be released in the coming days.

FR 2, FR 3 and FR 4 are currently in the technical evaluation phase and will be updated in the coming days

Beam Confidential Asset Minter
In order to simplify the process of creating new confidential assets and make sure the minted amount is provably limited to a predefined value, we propose adding a CA Minter DApp to Beam DApp store.

To bring yourself up to speed with the Beam Feature Requests check out the overview here, and as always, never hesitate to jump into the community and ask any questions!

Beam Space

The last Beam Space we covered the new Beam Feature Requests. If you missed it, jump in and have a listen to discussions surrounding the Beam Feature request and what they are all about!

There is a great thread breakdown from one of the Beam communities finest! Check it out and give Beamster a follow while you are at it!

Fixed a bot to emit RFC privacy tokens on t.me/rftqr one every 55 seconds until all 144,000 are distributed. THIS is play to earn. @beamprivacy for the win.
