PANews reported on February 18 that Ethereum core developer Justin.eth Drake shared the progress of the first Beam Chain community conference call on Twitter, and announced that February 28 will be the time for the second conference call, which will focus on technical progress. Due to trademark issues involving the name "Beam", the project will be renamed.
The meeting summarized the joining of 8 new teams, the support of 6 mainnet consensus layer teams, and the introduction of 2 new coordinators who joined the Ethereum Foundation. Currently, Beam Chain has a total of 14 consensus layer teams, covering all continents except Antarctica, using multiple programming languages including Zig, C, C++, C#, and many self-funded teams have emerged. Justin believes that Beam Chain provides an excellent entry point for developers to deeply understand the underlying technology of Ethereum L1.
In addition, the conference also explored the key role of ZKVM (Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine) technology in Beam Chain and announced a series of research and development plans, including ZK acceleration and multi-language support.
