Within two months, the community decided that the interim constitution was unworkable and had to be replaced. The next problem was the turnout of token holders in theEOS user agreement (EUA) referendum was just 1.7 percent\u2014well short of the required 15 percent threshold.<\/p>\n<p>While 99 percent of the 17 million voting tokens indicated \u201cyes\u201d over \u201cno,\u201d the very low turnout meant that Block Producers could essentially use their discretion to make a decision. The turnout problem wasn\u2019t helped by a significant number of blacklisted accounts after the ECAF debacle. Eventually, 21 Block Producers decided to take matters into their own hands and effect the switch.<\/p>\n<p>The BPs who signed off on the new EUA are EOSNewYorkio, ArgentinaEOS, Cypherglass, EOSnationftw, EOScafeblock, Atticklabeosb, EOSflytomars, EOSBeijingbp, EOSbixinboot, EOShenshenio, EOSdacserver, EOSiosg11111, EOSauthority, EOS42freedom, EOS.fish, EOSRioBrazil, EOScannonchn, EOSHuobiPool, Cochainworld, Jedaaaaaaaa, and Bitfinexeos1.<\/p>\n<h1>Future of Block Producers Under EUA<\/h1>\n<p>Some believe that the EOS structure gives Block Producers the power to effectively rig the market by making unilateral decisions as a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/how-cartels-may-control-eos-and-fundamentally-threaten-its-survival\/\">cartel<\/a>. This goes back to the period under the interim constitution where ECAF decisions could not be enforced without Block Producers\u2019 approval.<\/p>\n<p>This has created a strange dynamic where key decisions are left in limbo because they fail to meet referendum voting thresholds while Block Producers can still force through changes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_100642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100642\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/is-ethereums-market-share-at-risk-from-eos-and-tron\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-100642\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/eos-tron-ethereum-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Is Ethereum\u2019s market share at risk from EOS and TRON?\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/eos-tron-ethereum-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/eos-tron-ethereum-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/eos-tron-ethereum-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/eos-tron-ethereum-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-100642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a title=\"Is Ethereum\u2019s market share at risk from EOS and TRON?\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/is-ethereums-market-share-at-risk-from-eos-and-tron\/\">Is Ethereum\u2019s market share at risk from EOS and TRON?<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is also the problem of a huge backlog of blocklist cases which are the legacy of ECAF. No information is available regarding what their fate will be but many expect this will be one of the very first issues to be handled under the EUA. The EUA sets out to create a framework for EOS to operate as a representative democracy since the token holder turnout in referendums has consistently failed to reach the 15 percent threshold.<\/p>\n<p>As EOS has seemingly decided that its future lies in embracing BPs instead of trying to run the network as a direct democracy, the onus is now on the BPs to show that this model of blockchain governance works. Going forward, it is expected that while BPs will take note of referendum results in their decisions they will likely not read too much into them until turnout improves significantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long-awaited EOS\u00a0user agreement was signed by 21 of the network\u2019s 30 Block Producers following months of negotiation and debate following referendum gridlock.
