franceos is a group of French crypto-economic players who are candidates for block production on the decentralized EOS network.

• BitConseil is a consulting and professional training organization specialized in the cryptocurrencies sector and making its expertise available to the community through analysis and opinion publications.
• ADAPP is an IT company with expertise in distributed ledger technology and providing secure, reliable and fully managed scalable blockchain infrastructure solutions.
• Journalducoin is the first media of the French-speaking community dealing with all the news of cryptocurrencies, tokens and other blockchain solutions.

franceos team members are proud to be the first to represent France on the delegate list. All share the same vision of decentralized value exchange systems, through the following core principles.

• Our right of private ownership ;
• Our right to contract on the basis of free consent ;
• Our right of free enterprise.

EOS is the most ambitious project ever developed in crypto-economic universe and we are convinced that EOS will become the platform of choice to deploy decentralized applications. EOS consensus system (delegated proof of stake) is the most elegant solution to maintain a scalable and solid network while remaining sufficiently decentralized. We therefore propose our application to become a block producer.

Our mission

• Operating : As a block producer, we are committed to developing a robust and secure infrastructure to ensure operation of the EOS network, drawing on the experience of our members.
• Developing : development of tools and interfaces for EOS network users. Creation of decentralized applications and oracles.
• Growing the community : Through our media activities, we will offer resources to Francophone community of EOS. We will also organize events dedicated to EOS and its applications.
