Greetings Beamers!
A busy month as usual at Beam, with Beam Warp testing and Beam Explorer fine-tuning underway. The goal with Beam Warp is to push Solana-level transaction speeds and scalability, and introduce it to Beam’s privacy-preserving blockchain.
The best private-by-default DeFi ecosystem is set to become a whole lot better!
Development Updates
Beam Warp
Deployed updated “Dappnet2/L2_test1” networks
Fixed fee estimation for L2 bridge contract
Node/bridge: fixed multisig ritual (identifying the challenge to answer)

Updated Fly Client in PBFT
Fixed bug where a non-validator node was not able to connect to the network
Updated Explorer Parser to make L1 <> L2 bridge events and validator punishments human readable
