What is EOS?

EOS is a community-driven distributed Blockchain, that allows the development and execution of industrial-scale decentralized applications (DApps). EOS intention is to become a Blockchain DApp platform that can securely and smoothly scale to thousands of transactions per second, all while providing an accessible experience to app developers, entrepreneurs, and users with services like user authentication, cloud storage, and server hosting.

The EOS community is working to provide one simple to use, massively scalable dApp platform for the everyday user.

· One aspect that makes EOS entirely different and better than all the other cryptocurrencies is that it does not charge any transaction fees.

Newsworthy and engrossing EOS facts:

Ethereum is million miles away from actually being able to cope with daily transactions we see today. To be able to be “the one protocol” it will need to handle at least million of transactions per second.

EOS stepped in here, and grabbed the industry’s demand. It is built to be scalable and upgradable. And, perhaps the most interesting fact is that, EOS already hold more ETH than the Ethereum foundation!

According to WalletInvestor, investing in EOS will turn out to be a favorable venture for the investors, They believe that in 2023, it might reach $911.
