Beam Biweekly Newsletter—September 2024 Ed. #2: Beam3Million
Covering September 16 - September 30
Greetings Beamers!
Presenting the Beam Bi-weekly Newsletter—September 2024 Ed.#2, covering all the latest developments in the Beam ecosystem from September 16 - September 30.
This week’s theme celebrates the coveted 3 million blockchain height milestone, which Beam blockchain accomplished on 23rd September, 2024. And the #Beam3Million Graphic Art Competition to commemorate the occasion.
Development Updates
We’re working to update the QT framework that powers all the behind-the-scenes infrastructure for the Beam Wallet. The current QT version in the wallet is nearing it’s end-of-life, so this will be a necessary update. The new update will improve everything about the wallet, browser components, allowing the DApp UI in Beam Wallet to support more modern features.
The work on EVM integration continues to move forward. Soon™️
Optimizations of Beam Core
Researching ways of simplifying the Beam address system.
