What is EOS?
EOS is a blockchain-based, decentralized system that enables the development, hosting, and execution of commercial-scale decentralized applications (dApps) on its platform. It was launched in June 2018 by Block.one, a company led by Dan Larimer and Brendan Blumer. EOS's goal is to offer a decentralized blockchain that can process fast and free transactions and provide an easy-to-use infrastructure for developers to create dApps.
The system is powered by the EOS.IO software and the EOS token. The EOS token serves multiple purposes within the EOS ecosystem, including bandwidth and storage resources, as well as serving as a "stake" for voting on governance proposals and block producers in the network. EOS utilizes a consensus model called Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS), which works by having token holders vote for "block producers." These block producers then validate transactions and maintain the blockchain. In summary, EOS is designed to make blockchain technology more accessible and scalable for real-world use cases.
