Beam Africa Monthly Community Update: January Edition #8
January’s Highlight
The Beam team hit the ground running in 2021, with the year’s first community call where members of the core team shared insight as to the direction the project will be headed in 2021. The call highlighted Beam’s roadmap for the year, with some exciting development on what to expect with the launch of the BeamX ecosystem. Beam plans to bring privacy to the DeFi space, and with such infrastructure, a lot of exciting DeFi dApps can be built on the Beam blockchain, which will all possess Beam’s inherent privacy feature.
During this call, the various country leads made a presentation of their progress in their respective community. Our African lead, Agbona Igwemoh made us proud with an incisive presentation about Beam Africa in numbers, as well as the plans for 2021, which is heavily focused on the development of Africa-centric dApps to be deployed on the BeamX infrastructure. As well as promoting Beam across all community front, by creating content, community events and other forms of marketing activities.
Beam’s Tech Lead anchored the community call, and as always, Alex Romanov in his presentation explained complex things like cryptography, easy to understand by the average person. In case you missed the call, you can watch the entire presentation on the Beam community YouTube channel.
