"The number of new users of EOS and ETH has increased by more than 40% since last week. TRON is in a recession, falling by nearly 20%, but still surpassing ETH. User acquisition also directly affects the number of weekly active users. TRON has a small loss of about 5% weekly active users, EOS and ETH continue to grow, and EOS weekly active users reach 132,266."

Driving Open-Source Development: Ledger App for EOS.

EOS New York announced their direct support for the development of the EOS ledger app. The last Github pull request of the app took place on December 7 and the application recently had compatibility issues with Chrome, which have now been resolved.

EOS New York noticed the growing fragility of this important tool for the community, and for this reason it intends to evolve the Ledger application for EOS in a semi-structured framework by doing the following:

 - Raise community awareness
 - Make it easy to contribute
 - Create a stable release cycle and relationship with Ledger

In addition to that, they have hired a paid consultant who has deep experience with Ledger apps. They directed their consultant to set up a test pipeline which allows developers to easily generate compiled binaries from a pull request.

BuiltOnEOSIO: Effect.AI.

 Effect.AI made a landmark decision to officially switch from the NEO protocol to EOSIO. Given the considerable costs that would have been involved in any strategic change, what motivated the team to nonetheless go ahead with the move? “It’s simple, building a network as complex as ours just does not work on NEO at the moment,” said Dawe. “The EOS blockchain, on the other hand, provides us with a more robust alternative, with its clearly scalable infrastructure, ability to easily iterate upon, speed, security, high TPS, and of course, its incredible community.”

A look into eosfinex.

The eosfinex team released a new article that goes through the eosfinex architecture. Eosfinex is the industry’s first fully on-chain, fully transparent and scalable exchange built with EOSIO.

Eosfinex is composed of the following components:
 - Order books
 - Order matching
 - Custody and settlement

The exchange contract will initially run on a sidechain using EOX as the system token. Customers can interface with the exchange directly through the EOS blockchain, or by using a custom eosfinex nodeos plugin. Token transfers between the sidechain and main chain will be synchronized using two gateway contracts — one on each chain.

Future developments may include the increase in the number of sidechain BPs and/or launching on the EOS mainnet, along with margin capabilities.

The beta will operate as a ‘Paper Trade’ environment, providing users with the chance to experiment with eosfinex in a simulated ecosystem whilst earning rewards through providing platform feedback.

The Challenge to EOS Virality.

The LiquidApps team released an article on Medium clearly explaining the reason that hold back EOS from virality: on boarding new users on EOS. According to the team, the DAPP Network could potentially alleviate this issue, rolling out the red carpet for new EOS users. The DAPP Network is a set of technical solutions developed by LiquidApps, committed to scaling the EOS blockchain.

"Creating a simple and seamless onboarding experience is crucial in the quest to ingrain a new technology into the mainstream psyche. EOS is ripe for widespread adoption, yet the cost of creating a new account is deterring the masses. The efforts of early believers to grow the network are not as effective without a smooth onramp to bring new users aboard the EOS train."

Parsl taking action against an hacked EOS account.

The 6th of March 2019, an EOS account gu2tqojzgage was hacked after attempting to claim the pEOS tokens. At first more than 1,000 EOS were unstaked and sent to an Exchange: Changelly. Block Producers decided not to enforce any ECAF ruling and stick with “Code-is-Law”, while the Parsl team decided to lock the account's SEED tokens and transfer them to a new account provided by the original owner after 60 days.

"While we understand this might not sit well with some blockchain purists, we at Parsl have a strong belief that we need to protect our users. We want the Parsl platform protect ALL users from those who aim to cause harm to them."

I can assume a major focus in 2019 will be the funding and development of dapps within the EOS ecosystem.I can also assume they’ll be implementing updates on the mainchain to make it an attractive option for blockchain developers.

Introducing EOSIO Labs™: A Place for Open Innovation.

Block.One announced the EOSIO Labs initiative, through which Block.One's innovations and discoveries will be shared with all developers. In this way, the community will be free to get their hands on these open source repositories and release their own products. Block.one’s continued contributions and involvement will depend on wider community adoption of such projects.

The Universal Authenticator Library (UAL) is the "first in a series of repos" shared on EOSIO Labs™. The purpose of UAL is to simplify, for App Developers, supporting multiple authentication providers. This is possible by abstracting the internal business logic of many authentication providers and exposing a single universal API.

Benefits:
• For developers:
   - Simple way to support multiple key managers
   - Increases an application’s market reach
   - Reduces time to create applications,
   - Access to all the necessary functions to sign transactions
• For users:
   - Login to integrating apps using the authenticator of choice
   - Uniform login option that instills confidence while using dApps
