Daniel Larimer, in the past, expressed that by the time one does everything to secure a traditional database, they would have built a blockchain. Apps use libraries to build a blockchain as it is hard without it. He stated that “A blockchain like eosio is just a toolkit for app devs that want security,”
He recently opined that transparency and the ability to fork are the key tests for decentralizations. It looks subjective; however, in the end, the community reaches consensus in a decentralized manner.
This, he stated, is like an example of “how proof of work relies on off-chain governance to resolve sigwit and eth classic.” He further noted that #DPOS proves that the cost of attacking a delegated proof of stake chain is your tokens.
Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert, tweeted: “EOS is all about voting. The move votes, the more power. Smart contracts regulate the relations between participants. Disputes are resolved in the special arbitration body. Nothing is dispute free.”
The EOS team previously stated: “We are creating a blockchain architecture that is potentially scalable to millions of transactions per second, without commissions, with quick and easy implementation of decentralized applications.”
EOS is free to use, and there are no transaction fees or gas. The whitepaper stated that they would be able to process millions of transactions in a second. EOS makes use of the original DPoS consensus algorithm.
DPoS is well known for its low energy costs and scalability. However, it has been criticized for the danger of centralization and the complex management structure.
There is no need to know unique programming languages to build Dapps in the EOS platform. It can be created using C++.
Dan Larimer created the DPoS, and it is known as a kind of digital democracy. To build blocks in the DPoS, there are several rounds. The coin holders vote for the block producers—those block producers who have a massive vote fall into a pool. Validators are chosen from the pool for the block creation.
For block creation, 21 block producers participate in the process of creating 12 blocks. During round 252, the validators validate the blocks, and the process keeps repeating.
While a lot of people want to
participate in the creation of the EOS block, only 21 validators are involved
in the process. The total assets of the
voter determine the weight of each vote. The validator with the highest numbers
of votes is chosen for the next round of creating the blocks. It is possible to vote for several block
providers at the same time, and the votes will have equal power. The loss of
user votes removes the validator from the game.
A lot similar to political parties in a democratic state.
