A privately owned company known as Blockone is pioneering this project as an open source platform, having launched one billion tokens already, their mainnet launched June 10th, 2018. Although the mainnet has launched, the platform is not yet live, for it to progress to a live state 21 Block Producers have to be elected by the community. What are Block Producers?
What are Block Producers?
Block Producers, as their name entails, are producers of EOS blocks. Their responsibilities as decentralized entities are to not only produce blocks but govern the ecosystem of EOS, ruling where and how the Blockchain progresses. Block Producers are similar to miners, as rules dictate, majority miners hold majority vote so let us elaborate what this could affect this could cause. To better understand, we will be referring to another instance of majority mining power.
Approximately 82 percent of bitcoin miners voted for a chain split, or a hard fork, this resulted in bitcoin cash. There were mixed emotions about the split which could have been avoided had the community trusted the entities making the decisions, this is where Block producers come in. Users can vote for producers they believe have their best blockchain interests at heart thus eliminating angered emotions, casting your vote is your responsibility as a token holder. How can you vote?
