EOS (EOS) is a platform for developing decentralized applications (abbreviated as DApps), a competitor to Ethereum. The EOS platform was developed by the company Block.one, and its white paper was authored by American programmer Daniel Larimer and Brendan Blumer. The blockchain launched back in June 2018. The goal of the project: widespread use of blockchain technologies, simplification of the use of the network. The company's priority is to create a number of educational resources for developers who want to quickly create functional applications. Also, in a unique twist, token holders have the ability to vote for block producers — as well as other matters such as protocol upgrades.
