What Is Beam?
Beam is a Cryptocurrency based on strong privacy and faster transaction. Sender and receiver will have total control on their transactions and it will be secret among them. The main thing which make it different than others is it's anonymous transaction.
Question is Why is anonymity important for transaction?
Back in 2009. When Bitcoin was released by Satoshi Nakamoto. It was revolution and new way open in the form of Electronic Money or Cryptocurrency. Many benefits come through Bitcoin. But here in Bitcoin or in other Cryptocurrencies, all transactions are available on open public ledger. In current period as we are regularly listening about Hacking and theift News, the open ledger is creating worries.
Beam is different from other Coins. It will be secure and safe. Its transactions will not be available on open ledger and will always secret among sender and receiver. It will attract Businessmen and new revolution will come in Blockchain.
Some of its benefits are:
Businessmen always want secracy, privacy of their dealings.
Many people don't want to show their transactions they shouldn't worry more. Soon it will be possible because of Beam
If the transactions will be secret and ledger will not be public like Bitcoin or other currencies, it will be more safe from hackers. Safety is very need of people.
Beam's anonymity is not an illusion and it is based on Mimblewimble (the most secure system of transaction)
Beam uses the technology of Mimblewimble:
Mimblewimble is a solution which has given scalability and privacy to transactions in Blockchain. In Bitcoin, everyone can check those transactions and nothing remains secret. Rather than Bitcoin and other's transactions, Mimblewimble doesn't show it's transactions on public ledger. So all those transactions with or without memo and informations among sender and receiver will be secret.
Infact aim of Beam is to use Mimblewimble technology for it's progress and they scratch used C++ for implementation of this technology.
