Beam News

A busy week for Team Beam, with some great progress on current developments, and some exciting activities taking place in our various communities. This weeks newsletter will focus largely on the community events that took place in February, online and offline, and the impact this is having. We will make this monthly wrap up a regular, to keep all Beamers in the loop.

Before we jump into things, let’s take a look at the most recent article published by Beam Product Lead, Sasha Abramovich: UX++ for Beam mobile wallets (part 3). Sasha takes us through the mobile wallet UX, giving some great insight into the features of Beam mobile wallets, and the reasonings behind their implementation.

Some of the components that make Beam mobile wallets ever so special:

Easy onboarding process for those new to Beam with delayed seed verification, and easy access to the Beam community faucet

The all essential Dark Mode

Wallet data import/export functions , for moving from phone to phone

Ability to restore from seed on the home screen

Much much more

As always, we are open to feedback to help the product grow, and make the best wallets in Crypto even better. If you have feature requests, or suggested improvements, don’t hesitate to get in touch and share your invaluable insights with us.

Community Updates from February

The month of February was a busy one for Beam. There were many events for the community to get involved, spread the word on privacy, and bring in new Beamers. Team Beam represented in style at a number of great events, building a bigger, stronger community.
