Hello Beam

Beam is a sovereign network focused on gaming brought to you by the Merit Circle DAO. Powered by the established Avalanche network, Beam operates independently to cater towards gamers and game developers.

Contributions

Beam is currently in a developer preview, and both the service and the documentation are work in progress. If you would like to contribute to the documentation, please open a pull request.

TL;DR

If you would like to get your hands dirty without reading our documentation, we strongly advise you to get started with one of our implementations ready SDKs. We currently provide SDKs for Node.js and C#, but are happy to facilitate more. If you are interested in an SDK for your implementation language which we don't provide yet, please open an issue.

Getting started

import { Beam } from "@onbeam/node";

const beam = new Beam("x-api-key");

const profile = await beam.profiles.createProfile("profileID");
// {
//   "id": "string",
//   "gameId": "string",
//   "externalId": "string",
//   "wallets": [
//     {
//       "id": "string",
//       "externalId": "string",
//       "address": "string",
//       "chainId": 0,
//       ...
//     }
//   ]
// }

const profiles = await beam.profiles.getAllProfiles({
  offset: 0,
  limit: 10,
});

In this example, we initialize an instance of Beam by passing your api key. We then proceed to create a Profile. A Profile is the Beam entity you'll be mostly interacting with. Each profile automatically gets assigned a wallet on the Beam blockchain.

Managing assets

Profiles are managed by you, and through your api key you are able to transfer / trade and manage assets of the profiles of your users

import { Beam } from "@onbeam/node";

const beam = new Beam("x-api-key");

const transfer = await beam.assets.transfer({
  sender: "ProfileID-A",
  receiver: "ProfileID-B",
  assetAddress: "0x0",
  tokenId: 23,
});
