On November 12, according to Devcon live news, Justin Drake, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation (EF), announced the proposal to reset the Ethereum consensus layer Beam Chain. Justin Drake said that Beacon Chain (Ethereum's consensus chain) has been launched for five years. Beam Chain will make improvements in Ethereum block generation, staking, cryptographic consensus, etc. The new design will maintain high security and improve performance. Drake said that Beam Chain will not change the Ethereum roadmap, but simply bundles together a set of upcoming changes. Beam Chain is expected to develop specifications in 2025, start writing raw code, testing in 2026, and then consider deploying the mainnet.
