EF Researcher Proposes to Reset Ethereum Consensus Layer Beam Chain

On November 12th, according to news from the Devcon event, Justin Drake, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation (EF), announced a proposal to reset the Ethereum consensus layer called Beam Chain. Justin Drake stated that Beacon Chain (Ethereum's consensus chain) has been launched for five years. Beam Chain will make improvements in areas such as block production, staking, cryptographic consensus, and maintain high security while improving performance. Drake stated that Beam Chain will not change the Ethereum roadmap, but will bundle a set of upcoming changes together. Beam Chain is expected to have specifications established in 2025, begin writing production code and testing in 2026, and then consider deploying to the main network.
