Things that make BEAM special include:

• Users have complete control over privacy - a user decides which information will be available and to which parties, having complete control over his personal data in accordance to his will and applicable laws.
• Confidentiality without penalty - in BEAM confidential transactions do not cause bloating of the blockchain, avoiding excessive computational overhead or penalty on performance or scalability while completely concealing the transaction value.
• No trusted setup required
• Blocks are mined using Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm.
• Limited emission using periodic halving.
• No addresses are stored in the blockchain - no information whatsoever about either the sender or the receiver of a transaction is stored in the blockchain.
• Superior scalability through compact blockchain size - using the “cut-through” feature of Mimblewimble makes the BEAM blockchain orders of magnitude smaller than any other blockchain implementation.
• BEAM supports many transaction types such as escrow transactions, time locked transactions, atomic swaps and more.
• No premine. No ICO. Backed by a treasury, emitted from every block during the first five years.
• Implemented from scratch in C++.

Roadmap

• March 2018 : Project started
• June 2018 : Internal POC featuring fully functional node and CLI wallet
• September 2018 : Testnet 1 and Desktop Wallet App (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• December 2018 : Mainnet launch

Current status

• Fully functional wallet with key generator and storage supporting secure and confidential online transactions.
• Full node with both transaction and block validation and full UTXO state management.
• Equihash miner with periodic mining difficulty adjustment.
• Batch Bulletproofs, the efficient non-interactive zero knowledge range proofs now in batch mode
• Graphical Wallet Application for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms
• Offline transactions using Secure BBS system
• ChainWork - sublinear blockchain validation, based on FlyClient idea by Loi Luu, Benedikt Bünz, Mahdi Zamani
• Compact history using cut through
