Beam News!
Hey there Beamers! It's time for our latest update on all the exciting happenings in the Beam ecosystem. We have some interesting news to share with you, so let's dive right in!
DeFi Development!
The Beam team has been heads down building all year, and it’s great for that to be recognised. We were excited to see Beam among the Top 5 for GitHub growth in the DeFi coin section!
Since the start of 2023, we've released the Ethereum Bridge, the Beam DEX and witnessed the launch of the community-created Nephrite. We are nearing the half way point of the year, so expect much more from the Beam ecosystem as we continue to roll out more Dapps!
Nephrite!
Speaking of Nephrite, they recently rolled out their new front end for the decentralised stablecoin. The latest update brings with it advanced trove modification options, and fixed total debt preview bug, and an issue with the Beam redemption amount. It is great to see Nephrite continuing to add too and improve the application. Show them some love on the bird app, update the front end on the Beam Dapp store, and keep your stables private by minting $NPH!
The update spurred some interesting discussions around transparency and release standards. We believe in transparency and high standards of release. Following discussions within the community, we are committed to making all DAO-related Dapps open source, and enforcing strict release standards. We appreciate your feedback and support as we continue to improve the processes.
BeamBotsDrop!
The legends over at Beam Bots have launched their airdrop dapp to reward Beam Bots holders with their confidential asset, $BB. The team continues to contribute a great deal to the Beam ecosystem, and they have been excited to get the airdrop out to their community. There were a few hiccups causing some issues with the claim, but the the BeamBots crew acted with haste and fixed the issues. Congrats to Beam Bots, and we are all looking forward to what more comes from one of the stand out Beam NFT collections.
