Justin Drake has proposed 'Beam Chain,' a complete bottom-up redesign of Ethereum's consensus layer, during a talk at EFDevcon. The Beam Chain is seen as an endgame proposal for the Ethereum consensus layer, aiming to replace the existing Beacon Chain, which is now five years old. This redesign is considered the final design of Ethereum, often referred to as Ethereum 3.0. The proposal intends to incorporate recent research advancements to renew Ethereum's consensus mechanism.
