That\u2019s according to Block.one, a Caymans Islands-headquartered technology company that raised a record <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/eos-raises-record-breaking-4-billion-from-crowdsale\/\">$4 billion<\/a> via an initial coin offering (ICO) in order to develop <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/news\/eos\/\">EOS<\/a>, which has also been described as \u201can operating system-like construct upon which [software] applications can be built.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this introductory article, CryptoSlate shall summarize the series of events and developments that have transpired after the EOS mainnet was launched during the summer months of last year.<\/p>\n<h2>EOS Token Holders Lose Millions in Multiple Incidents Since December 2018<\/h2>\n<p>On Feb. 23, 2019, several <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/eosgo_news\/632\">reports<\/a> had surfaced regarding the alleged transfer of 2.09 million EOS (valued at approximately $7.26 million at the time of theft) by a blacklisted EOS account. Because this particular incident appears to be closely related to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptocoremedia.com\/research-eos-accounts-increasingly-hacked-400k-eos-stolen\/\">another major hack<\/a> involving EOS accounts in December 2018, when 400,000 EOS token were reportedly stolen, we will analyze both incidents in a future post here on CryptoSlate.<\/p>\n<p>Although one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blocktivity.info\/\">most active blockchains<\/a> with a large number of dApps launched on EOS. there are still many challenges EOS continues to face. For instance, the size of the EOS blockchain has exceeded 4 Terabytes, resulting in a \u201cblockchain bloat.\u201d Some analysts have argued that EOS could become increasingly centralized as the size of its blockchain data is getting so large that very few entities might have the resources to run full-nodes or be able to carry out the duties of a transaction validator.<\/p>\n<p>Some analysts have argued that EOS could become increasingly centralized as the size of its blockchain data is getting so large that very few entities might have the resources to run full-nodes or be able to carry out the duties of a transaction validator.<\/p>\n<h2>Questionable Governance Model<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93136\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93136\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/cartels-control-eos-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"How Cartels May Control EOS and Fundamentally Threaten its Survival\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/how-cartels-may-control-eos-and-fundamentally-threaten-its-survival\/\">How Cartels May Control EOS and Fundamentally Threaten its Survival<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to these issues, EOS\u2019 governance model has been criticized as many in the crypto community have expressed concerns that cartels may increasingly start controlling EOS.

On Jan. 24, 2019, Block.one released an <a href=\"https:\/\/block.one\/news\/eosio-35-increase-in-transaction-speeds\/\">update<\/a> regarding EOS\u2019 blockchain software code. According to the announcement, the latest set of upgrades to EOS\u2019 codebase \u201cwill allow for much greater speeds across the network than previously seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New EOS Software Version 1.6 Released<\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cinternal testing\u201d of EOS\u2019 software version 1.6wh indicates that the blockchain platform has \u201cthe potential to greatly increase performance\u201d which includes roughly a \u201c35% increase in transaction processing speeds,\u201d Block.one noted in its blog post. As mentioned in the post,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCurrent maximum speeds recorded on [EOS\u2019] public <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/blockchain-inc\/\">blockchain<\/a> are at 3996 transactions per second (TPS).\u201d This TPS rate, Block.one claims, is \u201camong the fastest on any public blockchain.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, EOS\u2019 software version 1.6 is expected to \u201cenable a reduction in CPU costs and decreased latency,\u201d the blog mentioned. \u00a0Notably, EOS\u2019 developers believe these code changes \u00a0\u201cwill make it even less expensive to run applications on the software and increase their responsiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the updates to EOS\u2019 codebase, Brendan Blumer, the CEO of Block.one, remarked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur aim is to drive mass adoption of blockchain. As part of the community that continues to work on the EOSIO software and its corresponding advancements, we hope to play a leading role in the next generation of blockchains through our deep engineering talent and our dedication to a future of global commerce and communications based on blockchain.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dan Larimer said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis software update clearly shows the expanding capability of EOSIO and its growing ability to process a substantial volume of transactions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Block.one Warns Against Scams, Fraudulent Schemes<\/h2>\n<p>On Jan. 29, 2019, Block.one issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/block.one\/news\/high-alert-for-scams\/\">warning<\/a> against phishing scams, \u201chacks, and other malicious activities.\u201d The warning message noted that online scammers could try to steal users\u2019 \u201cprivate keys, tokens, fiat currency, personal information, passwords,\u201d etc. Block.one\u2019s post also clarified that it would never request users to share their private keys or other private information.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the post from Block.one told users to \u201cnot download, compile, install, or run software from untrusted sources, including repositories, websites and links.\u201d Block.one\u2019s blog also made it clear that \u201cno personnel [from the company] will use Telegram, Skype, LinkedIn or other informal communication channels to propose a business relationship or partnership including a proposal which would involve the exchange of tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, a report from a Telegram group had revealed last weekend that a banned EOS account owner had managed to successfully transfer 2.09 million EOS tokens. When CryptoSlate reached out to Karen Zhang, a PR specialist at Block.one, she told us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn terms of your previous questions, apologies that we are not in the position to comment on some of the issues, since the EOS platform is maintained by the community.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>In future posts on CryptoSlate, we will further investigate this incident as well as update readers on other important developments related to EOS.<\/p>\n<p>While blockchain-based platforms are still in the early stages of development and are often constrained due to limited human and financial resources, dApp creation platforms such as EOS may have an advantage over others because EOS is one of the most well-funded blockchain projects to date.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/dan-larimer\/\">Dan Larimer<\/a>, one of the main developers contributing to EOS\u2019 development, is well-known in the crypto community for launching two relatively successful and established crypto platforms: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitshares\/\">BitShares<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/steemit-lays-off-70-of-workforce-hard-times-ahead\/\">Steemit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because EOS has the resources to maintain its ongoing development, it still has one of the best chances\u2014when compared most other dApp platforms, at being able to offer users a legitimate platform to develop and deploy high-performance, enterprise-level, distributed applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its launch, EOS has faced many challenges, including various security-related issues, several of which have resulted in EOS token holders losing large amounts of funds.
