Beam, BCH and Zcash Will Join BTC in Halving Their Mining Rewards

It’s not the only PoW coin gearing up for a major reduction in its emission rate next year, with Bitcoin Cash, Beam, and Zcash all set to undergo similar events in 2020. On January 4, Beam will experience a halving that will slash the block reward from 100 to 50 coins.

After Beam’s first halving has occurred on Jan 4, the next event won’t be due for another four years. Litecoin completed its own halving event this year, while Dogecoin – the meme coin that gave the cryptosphere the term “halvening” – won’t experience one of its own again: ever since block 600,000, Doge’s block reward has been permanently set at 10,0000 coins.
