EOS and Ethereum
reviewing the financing of EOS, we not only set many records of ICO, but also a significant milestone in the whole history of open market financing. During the 350 day subscription cycle, 200000 people participated in ICO, accumulating 7.2 million ether coins. According to the market price of the day, the total amount reached US $4.3 billion, which is close to the total IPO amount of Google (US $2.7 billion) and twitter (US $2.1 billion). It is the largest ICO in history so far. It's very worthwhile to make a comprehensive summary. I very much hope that what I write can penetrate the surface of the facts, catch the essence hidden behind, and become a part of historical records
EOS's ICO uses Ethereum's smart contract to complete the automatic subscription and allocation of funds. There is no middleman, and there is no role of investment bank and underwriter of traditional securities listing. This is a primary market. The total number of EOS coins is 1 billion, of which 900 million are distributed to subscribers and 100 million are reserved by block.one. All the funds obtained from the subscription belong to block.one company. Meanwhile, according to the subscription agreement, these funds directly become the profits of the company, and there is no other responsibility and obligation relationship with the subscribers, nor the responsibility and obligation to maintain and develop the EOS software and network. The main network of EOS will be launched by the loosely organized technology forum community, The network operation funds are automatically generated by the code rules, and new EOS tokens are issued to pay to the block procer nodes
in the process of ICO, the secondary market (exchange) is fully opened at the same time. After the completion of the subscription in the primary market, the general financing will enter the secondary market for a period of time. However, the financing cycle is as long as 350 days. The obtained Ethereum EOS token can enter the secondary market for circulation on the same day, resulting in a large number of turnover transactions, The prices of the two markets fluctuated simultaneously
after the end of ICO, the total market value of EOS was US $11 billion, ranking fifth in the list of digital currencies. BCH (US $17 billion), which is closer to fourth place, is more than twice as big as ripple (US $24 billion), which is third place. Compared with the total funding of $4.3 billion, according to the popular view of ICO, it is only three times as much
EOS is owned by an organization called block.one, but most people contact EOS by Daniel Larimer (BM), a software developer who has been involved in other blockchain projects, including bitshares and steemit, a distributed social network. The CEO is Brendan Blumer, a serial entrepreneur
EOS is considered as Ethereum for large enterprises
EOS public chain allows people to build decentralized applications (dapps) on it and run these applications
according to the developers, the difference between EOS and Ethereum is that EOS solves the performance shortage and availability problems encountered by developers when using Ethereum. There are other small differences that we will discuss below
{rrrrrrr}
extended data:
generation of EOS:
unlike bitcoin, EOS is not obtained by mining. Bitcoin's consensus protocol, known as workload proof, uses a lot of power and can only handle limited transactions
On the contrary, EOS allocated 1 billion EOS tokens in one year's ICO. After that, EOS uses a consensus protocol called certificate of entitlement (dpos) to create the blocks that make up the blockchainin this system, the community votes for the witness who is responsible for verifying the transaction. If the witness misbehaves, the community members can also vote, and others will take their place
The main features of EOS are as follows:1. EOS is a bit similar to Microsoft's windows platform. By creating a developer friendly underlying platform of blockchain, it supports multiple applications running at the same time and provides the underlying template for the development of DAPP
EOS solves the problems of delay and data throughput by means of parallel chain and dpos. EOS can process thousands of data per second, while bitcoin has about 7 transactions per second, and Ethereum has 30-40 transactions per second There is no service charge for EOS, and the general audience is more extensive. The network and computing resources needed to develop DAPP on EOS are allocated according to the proportion of EOS owned by developerswhen you have EOS, it is equivalent to having computer resources. With the development of DAPP, you can lease your EOS to others. From this point alone, EOS has a wide range of value. In short, having EOS is equivalent to having a set of rent to collect rent for others, or having a piece of land to rent for others to build a house
