Beam

Beam is a Layer 1 blockchain and its native token, BEAM, is designed to support a gaming-focused digital ecosystem where developers, creators, and users can build and interact with games, NFTs, and other digital experiences. The project describes itself as infrastructure for collaborative digital environments spanning gaming, artificial intelligence, and real-world asset tokenization. BEAM exists as an ERC-20 token that also powers transactions on the Beam Network itself, meaning it operates across multiple blockchain ecosystems simultaneously.

BEAM is classified as a Layer 1 blockchain but the stored data does not specify a consensus algorithm or block time, so the precise settlement mechanism is not available here. As an ERC-20 token, BEAM is compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem while also being associated with Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Base ecosystems according to its category tags, suggesting it operates as a bridgeable asset across several networks. Within the Beam Network, the token serves as the medium for transaction fees and general economic activity on the chain.

The protocol collected 2.59 USD in fees over the most recent 24-hour period, 17.43 USD over the trailing 7 days, 55.92 USD over the trailing 30 days, and 667.94 USD over the trailing 12 months, making this an extremely modest fee stream in absolute terms. Annualizing from the trailing 30-day figure produces an annualized fee estimate of 680.36 USD, which against a market capitalization of approximately 149.6 million USD yields a fee yield of roughly 0.000464 percent. Fee generation over the most recent 30-day window grew 187.78 percent compared to the prior period, though the base from which that growth is measured remains very small. The data does not specify how collected fees are distributed, whether to validators, token holders, or a treasury.
