What is Beam?

Beam (BEAM) is a private, decentralised cryptocurrency that provides users with complete control over their personal transaction information and the ability to control what information about them is being shared as well as who it's being shared with. Beam runs on the combination of two blockchain protocols called LelantusMW and Mimblewimble.


With the Mimblewimble protocol, Beam instantly improves privacy and scalability whilst reducing blockchain bloating. Payments are made private by default and addresses are never stored inside the blockchain.


We don't currently offer Beam as a cryptocurrency payment method for flights on our site. However, you can instead user other available crypto coins to securely pay for your flights - take a look at all of the cryptocurrencies that we offer for more information.

Benefits of Buying Flights with Beam (BEAM)?

Privacy

Users of Beam can enjoy completely private transactions. Payments are made private by default on Beam's network thanks to the Mimblewimble protocol implemented in 2018. Addresses are never stored in Beam's blockchain network which makes payments even more untraceable. To ensure the entire network can enjoy maximum privacy, Beam uses the LelantusMW protocol that offers an anonymity set of up to 64 KB.


Control

With the Beam cryptocurrency, users can have control over what information is shared about their personal data and to whom it is shared with.


Scalability

Because of Beam's use of the Mimblewimble protocol, transactions won't contribute to the bloating of the blockchain. Mimblewimble helps to reduce old data that is considered irrelevant to make room for current transactions. This ultimately enhances Beam's scalability, giving it a chance to secure longevity in the "cryptoverse".
