With all that is going on in the world, the need for permissionless privacy preserving cryptocurrency has never been more obvious. Beam continues to push the envelope on what is needed for true censorship resistance, and the best in class privacy. A big improvement to censorship resistance is coming with the D2App Store.

Beam D2App Store

With the BeamX Confidential DeFi Ecosystem taking shape, an important and often overlooked element to censorship resistance is that of the distribution of Dapps. For most Decentralised Applications the contract side is stored in a decentralised matter, but they utilise centralised and thus censorable front ends. To alleviate this Beam is set to launch the D2App Store.

Introducing The Next DAPP Store Iteration: D2App Store

Key components:

• IPFS integration to bolster reliability, privacy and censorship resistance properties of Beam Dapps

• Unique Identifiers enable Dapp developers to register as publishers, tying Dapps to teams and devs

• Install Dapps to your Beam wallet, avoiding reliance on cloud hosted front ends

• Dapps as a .dapp archive, containing the application code, publisher information with their Unique Identifiers, and optional auditor signatures

• Version Management to allow developers to push over-the-air updates for Beam Dapps, and inform users with notifications on any potential issues

The D2App Store will add extra censorship resistance to Dapps running in the Beam Confidential DeFi Ecosystem. Applications will still be accessible from website interfaces, and can be interacted with using the Beam Web Wallet.

Research and Development!

The latest Beam Web Wallet Hotfix released today, bringing with it some bug fixes. The release can be found here, and is also available now in the Chrome store.

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed issue with Lock Wallet: in some cases this was causing the "database is locked" error

• Fixed issues with Lock wallet: wallet stuck on the loading screen after unlocking

• Fixed Wasm issue: stuck on loading after approving connection to the wallet from the DApp

• Reworked the approach to storage for connected sessions from full URL to DNS only

• Other minor bug fixes
