It is approximately a month left until the EOS mainnet goes live and I can tell you after attending the Countdown to launch event in London and talking to people in both the EOS and Blockchain community the expectations and sentiments are quite high.
So EOS is offering a platform that uses a delegated proof of stake system under which token holders on a blockchain may select block producers through a continuous approval voting system, this in principle is better than the energy-devouring proof of work system as well as the POS system.
With a minimum of 1000 transactions per second (tps) achieved on the EOS dawn 3.0 even before optimisations and a projection that this number will be in tens of thousands of tps with optimisations and updates-- EOS is touted to be a game changer.
EOS is more than just another crypto without a product it’s a giant in the making and this was very evident at the event as the developers working on the EOS platform showcased their technologies and how EOS is enabling it.
A few quick mentions are Credify which are trying to fix up "the broken reviews systems on online marketplaces such as Amazon" using certified token holders to review the products; another company was Worbly which are using the EOS platform to provide a crypto trading platform that will "add augmented intelligence to crypto trading"
And finally, EOS Cannon which simply claims to make ''EOS Better".
In conclusion, EOS is a project with a lot of optimism and enthusiastic community behind it which naturally builds up huge expectations and a lot of promise that might not be attainable in the near future, but however the reception of the mainnet in June ends up, I believe EOS is in the game for the long run and even after the crypto dust has settled it will be there as the Amazons or Googles of the Crypto industry.
