“The year is 2030. The era of search is over, and we have won the data war. Our personal data belongs to us and to us alone, and we get paid to share it.
This is the future of retail, but how did this happen?”
18 months ago, Beam experimented with an idea. The more they discussed, researched, calculated and consulted experts, the idea became much more than that. It would’ve been much easier to just keep running their business as per usual, but Beam Wallet couldn’t shake off the feeling that they could be changing the world.
With the backing of industry-leading experts such as Oliver Bussmann and Vinay Gupta, a world-tour of 12 countries and a big ICO announcement at the World Blockchain Forum in New York in June, Beam are finally releasing their White Paper – the future of retail. Months in the making, this has been a labour of collaboration, deliberation and love.

The blockchain startup space is brimming with great ideas, many of which have the potential to be highly disruptive and innovative. What makes us different is our track record: we have been building out the Beam Platform since 2011. In that time, we have developed relationships with stakeholders ranging from mom and pop stores to enterprise retailers, brands and distributors such as Carrefour, Costa Coffee, ALDO, Tommy Hilfiger, Unilever, Coca-Cola and many more.
Today Beam’s technical network reach exceeds 400,000 stores globally, with over 5,000 live stores in three continents. Having executed over 4.3 million smart contracts with a total throughput in excess of $250 million, we have proven the benefits of the Beam at scale. Using a token economy specifically built for retail, we are opening up Beam’s proven smart contracts protocol to the world to accelerate our growth globally.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds
While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
