ABOUT EOS.IO Published by block.one, the EOS.IO software introduces a new Blockchain architecture designed to enable vertical and horizontal scaling of decentralized applications. This is achieved by creating an operating system-like construct upon which applications can be built. The software provides accounts, authentication, databases, asynchronous communication and the scheduling of applications across hundreds of CPU cores or clusters. The resulting technology is a Blockchain architecture that scales to millions of transactions per second, eliminates user fees, and allows for quick and easy deployment of decentralized applications.The EOS.IO GitHub repository is availableand resource.
We had an interview with Blockchain Guru "Sam Kazemian" with Everipedia on the Beyond Bitcoin platform with @OfficialFuzzy as he discusses the progress with EOS and the development with Everipedia. Recently, it was announced the EOS would airdrop tokens to EOS holders. I am personally a fan of how the EOS team is constantly innovating the business model although half of holders didnt see the vision. EOS is currently sitting at $14 as it slightly dipped from $18 after the Korean meetup. I think the announcements were pretty cool as Im still a holder of this amazing technology. I definately see the vision and have to truly believe in the teams ability as they are the actual investment.
