EOS is a blockchain platform designed for scalable, user-friendly decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2018 by Block.one, it uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism for fast, low-cost transactions. EOS emphasizes flexibility, offering developers tools to build high-performance dApps without gas fees. Its architecture supports horizontal scaling, enabling millions of transactions per second. The native token, EOS, powers the network, used for staking, governance, and resource allocation. Despite criticism over centralization and regulatory issues, EOS remains a notable player in blockchain, focusing on enterprise adoption and Web3 innovation through upgrades like the Antelope Protocol and EOS EVM for Ethereum compatibility.
