What Is EOS?

 A Layer 1 blockchain called EOS was created to solve the scalability problems that first- and second-generation blockchains encounter. After Bitcoin and Ethereum, it has been the longest-running blockchain in the market, and developers have utilised it to create blockchain ecosystems and applications. As a result, application cases in the supply chain, decentralised finance, and gaming finance industries, among others, have become available.

Introduction

Using open-source technology from Cayman Island-based startup B1, EOS was introduced in 2018. Due to its technological innovation in its early stages, EOS was recognised to outperform rival programmes.

However, progress stagnated, and the venture capital promised to EOS community project failures. Projects on EOS no longer have the resources necessary to operate on the network in the face of these difficulties.

In a show of unity, EOS Block Producers decided to establish a new organisation named the EOS Network Foundation (ENF), which is now in charge of effectively allocating funds and advancing EOS. Additionally, the EOS Block Producers approved a motion to prohibit token vesting, which prevents tokens from being locked up for usage by B1. As a result, the EOS Network became a decentralised autonomous entity (DAO).

On September 21, 2022, community engineers lead by the ENF switched from EOSIO 2.0 to Leap 3.1, the C++ implementation of the new Antelope protocol, in order to achieve complete code independence. With its new features, EOS is addressing the scalability issues that blockchains are now facing.

EOS token

Delegated proof-of-stake, or DPoS, is the consensus algorithm used by EOS. EOS, the platform's native token, is a utility token that can be used to pay for system resources, take part in EOS governance, transfer value on native applications, and track value for investors and speculators.

A portion of the fees collected by users who want to utilise EOS system resources through the EOS PowerUp Model can be received by token holders by staking their idle EOS tokens.
