Beam Biweekly—June 2026 Ed. #1
Covers all the developments in the Beam ecosystem from 1 June 2026 - 18 June 2026
Greetings Beamers,
Welcome to another edition of the Beam Biweekly - a roundup of everything happening across the Beam Privacy ecosystem.
Over the last few weeks, Web3 has continued moving in two directions at once: markets stayed cautious, while the infrastructure narrative kept getting stronger.
Stablecoins remained one of the biggest stories, with more attention shifting toward the wallets, payment rails, custody systems, and compliance tools that make them usable at scale. Tokenization also moved closer to traditional markets, as the SEC reportedly prepares a path for crypto firms to offer tokenized stocks in the U.S.
Development across Beam continued with improvements to the Explorer Node, core Node stability, Wallet API responses, CLI Wallet asset display, and dApp releases. This update also includes new releases for Beam DEX, BeamTerminal, and BANS.
