Imagine getting exact amount without decimal while doing bridges! **Beamer Bridge** makes it possible and users can do bridging of ERC20 assets between EVM-compatible rollups without any decimal amount, just by paying 0.3% fees of the transfer amounts with blazing fast speed. Currently **Beamer doesn’t have any native token** and also having a **Beamer’s Quest Campaign On Galxe**. So possible retroactive airdrop for early users.

### So let’s deep dive into it with the following segments:

🚨**Disclaimer:** You’ll interact with smart contracts, so be cautious on approval transaction or interacting with dApps or smart contracts. Also this is **Not a Financial Advice (NFA)** and invest which you can afford to lose after doing your own research (DYOR).

💭What’s Beamer Bridge?
-----------------------

Beamer Bridge

Beamer Bridge enables direct ERC20 asset transfers between any two EVM compatible rollups, without transiting via Layer 1(L1). Right now, Beamer bridge is available on [**Optimisim**](https://www.optimism.io/), [**Arbitrum**](https://arbitrum.io/) and [**Boba**](https://boba.network/) mainnet. More network will be added in future.

### Advantages of Beamer Bridge:

> *   **Blazing Fast**
>     
> *   **Exact Amounts**
>     
> *   **Easy Fees Super**
>     
> *   **Simple Security of Ethereum L1**
>     

So users can beam ERC20 assets between EVM compatible rollups with certainty, speed and security.

💭How Does Beamer Bridge Work?
------------------------------

There are two types of rollups: `optimistic rollups` & `zero-Knowledge rollups`. Beamer provides users with optimistic bridging services. Here’s how it works:

> *   Users request bridge service from one rollup (R1) to another rollup (R2) by sending tokens & service fees to Beamer Contract.
>     
> *   Agents settle the request by sending tokens to target rollup (R2) and claim the tokens & Fees From Beamer Contract on R1.
>     
> *   In case false claims made, escalation game (security mechanism) is initialed to penalize agents for making false claims.
>     

**Beamer is fully decentralized because the core protocol and community team do not run agents.**

💭Beamer’s Token & Quest Campaign
---------------------------------

**Beamer doesn’t have any token yet** and according to [**docs**](https://docs.beamerbridge.com/faq.html) and beamer team has not decided whether or not it will distribute tokens. Beamer’s primary focus right now is building a seamless and secure bridge.

![No Native Token Yet](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4cebdc6cdb7cf026c3bef9489ff2892f3201ebcf2fbbfda1da03073a5d5820de.png)

No Native Token Yet

So it’s a great opportunity for us to use Beamer and get retroactive airdrop if team decide to launch a native token in future. Also beamer is a **community-driven open-source project**.

Explore L2 ecosystem with Beamer

Currently, Beamer is having quest campaign for us to explore the L2 ecosystem while interacting with Beamer dApp. Every week, new quest will be revealed (**total of 5 quests**) to claim OAT NFTs and **we will unlock one-of-a-kind OAT at the end** ( it could be one of the requirements for future retroactive airdrop).

[https://chainlist.org/](https://chainlist.org/)

Now lets swap $50 worth of USDC from `Arbitrum` to `Optimism` Mainnet or vice-versa, which is also a task for quest-02.
