BEAM (B) is a digital currency. It is the first cryptocurrency implementation to establish a mainnet blockchain based upon the Mimblewimble privacy protocol. The BEAM blockchain appeared in the public domain on 3 January 2019, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of the Bitcoin blockchain. [cite with note instead of reference? or both?]

The BEAM source code implements published research (from OR by)which preposition?

TODO [remove]

 * add logo with correct content license
 * Replace currency symbol instances of B with actual BEAM currency symbol image
 * Add citation to 'Groth' on info box above (top right): https://www.benthamsgaze.org/2019/05/22/efficient-cryptographic-arguments-and-proofs-or-how-i-became-a-fractional-monetary-unit/
 * complete all citations as full as possible according to wiki rules, change 'citation type' on few that are mislabelled 'news'.
 * cache all citations, change citation to cached url, and add original source url in citation
 * the obvious stuff seen above
 * maybe remove some low quality refs/citation where there are redundancies
