Our Mission
EOS Detroit’s mission is to unlock the potential of EOSIO technology for the benefit of communities worldwide. Today we celebrate the emergent "financial district of EOS" and officially announce our partnership with WORBLI.
What's a Sister Chain?
Like EOS, WORBLI is based upon the EOSIO software developed by Block.One and as such, it may be regarded as a "sister chain" to the EOS Network. Sister chains share the EOSIO code base in common but generally differ in terms of governance, distribution, and other specific policies or features. In this way, EOS, WORBLI, and Telos, are examples sister chains. In the future, inter-blockchain communication (IBC) will enable EOSIO sister chains to be interoperable with one another!
So What is WORBLI?
The team at WORBLI is comprised of core contributors to the EOS network who have been deeply involved in EOS since the beginning; in launching WORBLI they are aiming to solve one of the most fundamental issues in the cryptocurrency space, namely, the issue of compliance with legacy financial systems. Solving the compliance issue solves a great deal of other issues at the same time, chief among them being access.
“WORBLI is a financial services network (FSN) where enterprises and individuals can access a broad range of services. Our blockchain ecosystem leverages EOSIO software and is capable of hosting a variety of decentralized applications (dApps) focused on financial innovation, security, reliability, and compliance.” WORBLI.io
“WORBLI leverages EOSIO software and is capable of hosting a variety of decentralized applications (dApps). The protocol focuses on widespread user adoption and providing a secure, reliable and compliant ecosystem for financial innovation.” –The WORBLI Short Paper
How will Worbli benefit the EOS community?
The presence of an AML/KYC compliant EOSIO based blockchain can serve to create a bridge between traditional financial systems and the whole EOSIO ecosystem. Through building fiat to EOS gateways and closing the gap between blockchain technology and the average user by providing services such as “Gamma Bank”, WORBLI is poised to open the floodgates of traditional finance into the entire EOSIO ecosystem.
What are some key features promised by WORBLI?
- Compliance: Enterprise business will benefit from full AML/ KYC user account verification.
- Account recovery: Provided for all customers. Customer accounts are recoverable when private keys are lost, and transactions can be reversed.
- Startup friendly: Startups will benefit from exchange listing and merchant processing services to quickly launch and fund their projects.
- Optimized for the enterprise: Businesses and corporations will benefit from predictable pricing models when planning to operate on the network.
- Finance-focused blockchain: The network governance is designed to meet the regulatory needs of global financial services and financial technology businesses.

When is Worbli Launching, and when is the Share Drop?
WORBLI is conducting a 1 Billion (WBI) Token Share Drop on EOS token holders. Public Network Access to the WORBLI network will be enabled following a scheduled network restart on the 1st of November, 2018 at which point WORBLI will be launching a "User Portal" to facilitate users in setting up their accounts and claiming their tokens on the WORBLI network. The ShareDrop ‘Snapshot’ took place at 11:59 PM UTC, 7 September 2018. You can see all the details of the WORBLI (WBI) token issuance in the WORBLI Short Paper.
Security Tip: Although we trust the open-source WORBLI code, as a best practice you should change your EOS network account keys before importing the EOS genesis keys into any other EOSIO variants.
