The development of EOS

[Rence16]

EOS performance is splendid, it is a blockchain platform for the development of decentralized applications (dapps), similar to Ethereum in function. It makes dapp development easy by providing an operating-system-like set of services and functions that dapps can make use of. Check this Dapp Market Report, they aim to provide a complete operating system for decentralized applications.

Why 15% Token Participation is Irrelevant

Recently, EOS New York published an article explaining their thoughts about the 15% threshold for Referendum Proposals.

According to the EOS constitution, a referendum needs no less than 15% vote participation among tokens to pass. In their article, EOS New York highlighted two main issues with the 15% threshold.

1. EOS token holders can shift their votes towards BPs that support the proposal. In this case the referendum would pass even if the 15% threshold is not met

2. ‘No’ voters are not incentivized to vote, as a ‘no’ vote could contribute to the success of a proposal rather than impeding it.

Over 50% of EOS dApps are used everyday.

According to a research published on LongHash, almost 55% of EOS dApps are used every day compared to just 10% of ETH dApps.

The most popular EOS dApp has around 450,000 transactions about twice compared to the most popular ETH dApp. However the use of EOS dApps seems still low. Only 4.5% of active dApps have more than 2,000 users and 50% have less than 100 users per day.

The real pace of development of EOSIO.

Recently Yahoo Finance published an article in which they state that EOSIO has considerably reduced its number of commits on Github. It passed from more than 4,000 commits in the past 12 months to only 114 in the last three months. The community already knows how unreliable Github data is for analyzing EOS development, most of the software updates promoted by Block.One are not done publicly.

The Scatter team responded to this article with a post on Reddit and Medium, in which they made clear the current status of EOSIO development.

"There have been over 600 commits on EOSIO repositories over the past month alone. EOSIO/eos was split into multiple repositories to create better separation of concerns and more maintainable code."

EOS Weekly - Understand the EOS permissions system.

Today EOS Weekly published a new video on Youtube. The video gives listeners an in depth view of how the EOS permission system works, along with some great examples and easy explanation of how it has been used by Chintai and eosDac.

"EOSIO permissions make it possible to strengthen account security to the point where lost or stolen keys become nothing more than minor inconveniences.  In this episode, we explain what EOSIO permissions are at the conceptual level, and the trend towards a strong, mesh network of interconnected accounts."

Watch the video:

Dan's hottest messages of the day.

"Bitshares and steem enabled me to learn enough to build eos. Now I need to build something bigger than Steem with eosio so I can learn to generalize the scaling of eosio. IBC without apps that can use it is pointless, eosio can sustain 2000+ transfers per second on our automated testing. No dapp is near that yet".

vElemental Battles, DAPP Network showing its potential.

The LiquidApps team released a new article on Medium, where they analyze how an EOS dApp can be improved, in particular by reducing costs and enhancing user experience, through the DAPP Network.

How the DAPP Network can be used:
- Register application front-end on IPFS
- Minimize the amount of RAM required by a dApp

"By allowing dApps to store their data sets permanently on IPFS nodes hosted by DSPs and turn RAM into a lightweight cache layer, vRAM empowers gaming developers to create a new generation of scalable applications on the blockchain. As demonstrated by vElemental Battles"

- Signal
- Warmp-Up
- Load and Transact
- Modify (optional)
- Clear Cache
