Beam Biweekly—Dec 2024 Ed. #2
With the last month of 2024 also comes the last Beam Biweekly of the year. Covers December 15th - December 31st
Greetings Beamers!
2024 was a great year for Beam, aligning perfectly with the start of the crypto bull run.
We kicked-off 2024 with the mighty Beam Wallet 7.5 update. Now our sight is set to deliver EVM-compatibility to Beam, which will bring Ethereum dApps like Uniswap and Aave, to Beam’s private-by-default DeFi ecosystem.
We also plan to connect Beam to other EVM-compatible blockchains like Solana or Arbitrum —serving as the privacy layer for the broader Web3 multi-chain ecosystem. We’ll shed further light on these developments in the upcoming Beam Roadmap Update 2025.
We wish you all a Happy New Year and a great year ahead.
Presenting Beam Biweekly—December 2024 Ed.#2, covering all the latest developments in the Beam ecosystem from December 15th - December 31st.
