What is EOS – Ethereum’s biggest competitor
EOS is one of the most powerful blockchain platforms for decentralised applications. It is similar to the Ethereum platform but faster, more scalable, and allows users to build decentralized applications more efficiently. The EOS.IO platform is being developed by a private company, block.one, and will allow to process millions of transactions per second through horizontal scaling, making older ecosystems, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, feel like an old 1980s personal computer with extremely limited computing capabilities.
A total of 1 billion EOS tokens are being distributed on the Ethereum blockchain over a period of 341 days, using a smart contract. EOS.IO officially becomes an open-source software on June 1st, 2018, opening up the floor to developers to exploit the EOS coin’s potential. Conversely, EOS tokens owners act as shareholders of traditional public companies, that way the owners are able to cast votes and participate in the governance of the blockchain, in proportion to the their stake.
It is for these reasons, that financial analysts worldwide claim that EOS is the future of distributed companies and blockchain.

EOS in the markets
EOS was launched by Dan Larimer, founder and creator of Bitshares and Steem, two cryptocurrency platforms that still run today. EOS was first announced at a conference in 2017 with a peculiar ICO (Initial Coin Offering) launch; the distribution period of the token spans over a period of nearly a year according to the following schedule:
- 200,000,000 EOS Token (20% of the total) distributed over a 5-day period beginning June 26th,
2017 and ending on July 1st, 2017 - 700,000,000 EOS Tokens (70% of the total) split into 350 consecutive 23 hour periods
of 2,00,000 tokens beginning July 1st, 2017 - 100,000,000 EOS (10% of the total) reserved for block.one.
EOS initial price was $5 per token, but then quickly dropped, to reach a low of around $0.48. In November 2017, EOS started to rise, to reach an all-time high of around $13 in January 2018. The market capitalization of EOS has grown nearly ten-fold in the first 6 months.
Whilst EOS still remains largely conceptual, there are already potential advantages:
- It’s scalable horizontally and vertically (millions of transactions per second with asynchronous communication and parallel processing)
- It’s an open source ecosystem
- Transactions are 100% fee free (via an ownership model whereby users own and are entitled to use resources based on their stake instead of paying for transactions)
- Simplification of processes like bug fixing and changes to the blockchain
However, the future of EOS remains uncertain. No one can tell for sure if this e-coin will gain popularity as a transaction currency. Traders and investors alike will continue to participate in the ICO and token distribution until the official launch of the open-source platform on June 1st, 2018, scrutinizing the breakthroughs that the development team will reach over these months.
Practical Benefits of EOS for Adoptees
- EOS is an open source blockchain ecosystem.
- Adoptees benefit from simplified bug fixes and modifications to the EOS blockchain
- EOS is fully scalable horizontally and vertically, and it’s capable of processing millions of transactions per second, featuring asynchronous communication & parallel processing.
- The EOS ownership model confers 100% fee-free transactions, and owners are welcome to use the resources based on their stake, rather than paying for transactions.
Like many rising stars in the cryptocurrency arena, the future of EOS is shrouded in uncertainty. Crypto experts are uncertain whether this digital currency will gain traction as a transaction currency. EOSIO has practical applications for business purposes, including proof of concepts, to pilots, to in-production offerings. For developers, EOSIO features EOSIO Core, with essential building blocks for the EOSIO protocol, such as Smart Contracts, Cleos, Nodeos, and Keosd.
