State of EOS blockchainS....

So it was quite an effort to launch one eos mainnet some 2 months ago, and despite some back and forth, no two competing chains have been launched, that claimed to be the mainnet. Also no double or even multiple distribution of tokens as some have considered has happened. But now, after a few weeks, despite the excistence of one unchallenged mainnet, there are multiple eos side-chains out there already and I'd like to do a swift overview of these:

1) EvolutionOS

Those where the first to announce an alternative blockchain based on EOS.io software, claiming to even out inequalities in token distribution by a double airdrop, of which one would drop the same amount of EVO tokens (ERC-20 based) on each account (non-participating exchanges excluded) and another drop that would reflect token ownership. Anyhow after the initial airdrop (i wonder how much that has cost them), they went quiet, @evolutionos hasn't posted on steem for 3 months, but as you can see in their timeline, their content hasn't had much than the airdrop discussion and criticism of potential ESO weaknesses without offering any better solution. To my knowledge, there has never been any chain established, at least not publicly.
Resumee: this project is pretty dead, especially in light of the other forks i am going to present.

2) Telos

If you keep up to date with EOS at least at a minimum level, you might have heard about the EOS.io software fork done by telos. Most controversial has been their cap of 40K EOS tokens/account (exchanges included if they not distribute tokens to their clients), and a 1M EOS gift for the launching BPs (which has been drawn back after some controversy). Most interestingly the self-appointed BPs consist of some 3rd row BP candidates for the EOS mainchain, who although either late in the game or idle with communication, seem to be not the worst candidates, and might know what they are doing. RAM should be handled centrally, so no speculation there. What i am most curious about is what kind of governance model they will pursue. They seem to have an active testnet running, but not sure if this is accessible to the public as of yet.
Resumee: Definitely an interesting chain launch, but lot of topics yet to be cleared out.

3) Ono

This took me quite by surprise and i feel it's not very known, but yes @onosocial will launch their own eos.io based blockchain (as the others this isn't going to be forked, but there will be an airdrop based on a specific eos mainnet snapshot). The reason for that is not very clear to me, as they had always said, they would launch on the EOS mainnet, and that would have made sense. Definitely RAM could be an issue, but also the fact that their run for EOS block producer has not been successful. They had an interview with @EOSGo two weeks ago, and had to answer a few pretty tough questions. Major takeaway: The must have decided this launch quite in a hurry, because most decisions and milestones where not clear to them at the time of the interview. The ono social network seems to operate already, but not really on the blockchain, which is to follow by the end of this or early next year. Current status ist, that they have a testnet they are experimenting with, but that's not open for public.
Resumee:Honestly i don't see the point for them to launch their own chain, but the Ono folks are pretty professional and seem to have necessary resources. Nevertheless having so many balls in the air at the same time, it could be quite overwhelming to them.

4) EOS Force

This might be the most obscure EOS based chain, at least to a western, non-madarin proficient, audience, as it is primarily a Chinese project. Yet according to this Trybe article they seem to have a live mainnet already, a dedicated wallet (rumored to contain viruses) and a live block explorer running! The block producers running the chain seem to be different from the mainnet, but it looks like they have a strong community in China. It should follow the genesis snapshot, at least my genesis account has the proper amount of tokens.
Resumee: Hard to tell about the solidity of this chain or if it's simply a scam. But I'm definitely curious to learn more about them!

What's your stance on these eos chains?

Have i left out any other Eos based blockchain? Let us know!
