In the developer preview mode, Beam employs a reputation-based consensus method termed Proof of Authority (PoA), enhanced with the Snowman protocol. This set-up entrusts a selected group of reputable authorities to authenticate transactions, thereby safeguarding the blockchain's integrity. The PoA model emphasizes the value of the validators' reputations, with these validators being handpicked based on their trustworthiness. This allows for a highly scalable system where blocks and transactions are verified by pre-approved participants acting as system moderators.

## The Role of the Beam token (BEAM)

To interact with the Beam Network, $BEAM token is required. The $BEAM token is the native currency used within the Beam Network to pay for transactions. This not only includes transfers of value but also involves all interactions with smart contracts on the Beam Network, facilitating a seamless, immersive gaming experience.

## Stake Requirements

In addition to the hardware, running a validator on Beam requires staking a minimum amount of $BEAM tokens. Specifically, you'll need at least 20000 $BEAM.
