Tell me more about BEAM and DarkFi?
Discussion
Both basically their own attempts at a private/anonymous Ethereum
DarkFi is Amir Taakis project it isn't officially out yet. Still in alpha I think. They have the "worlds first fully anonymous chat" you can use but still very early stuff.
Beam has been around since 2019. It is similar to Tari in that it is built on MimbleWimble, so no amounts or addresses visible, but it also combines that with Lelantus (shielded pools) to avoid revealing the transaction graph which is a weakness of normal MW. Very strong privacy and scalability.
I think Tari's fluffypony's venture?
being built out of Johannesburg too which is cool
