EOS
title: Summary
collapse: open
EOS is a Blockchain technology from EOS.IO and BlockOne that aims at being more powerful and less power-hungry than competitors and foregoers (Bitcoin, Ethereum).
The technology also offers significant advantages:
1. No 'transaction costs' when computing, instead network 'RAM' is bought at outset
2. Highly scalable: increased activity does not clog the network due to different decision-making structure to competitors
style: number
Investment thesis
Alternative to ETH with two clear advantages: scalability and no transaction fees. The token's value will evolve with users purchasing RAM access and therefore offers a modest but (hopefully) steady growth of value. Currently, the project is undervalued due to a few communication mishaps:
- the involvement of Block.One with the future of EOS,
- the predominence of Chinese block producers and
- the overall governance structure of block producers & development projects.
The technology itself remains state-of-the-art, has a huge real-world potential and consumes a fraction of the electrical power BTC or ETH require.
Risk profile
Low risk Lower risk token due to its structural undervaluation. This has been illustrated by a relatively stable price in Q2 2021 when 'hotcoins' sold off aggressively due to increased scrutiny from local regulators world-wide. The ecosystem is not fully in place and lacks a palatable DeFi proposition but developpers are remediating this. This Blockchain remains the most likely to compete with and overtake ETH in the mid- to long-term. It is also the first Blockchain technology to advertise a 'Carbon-Neutral' footprint.

EOS is the utility token powering the mainnet. It is used to 'buy' RAM on the blockchain, by buying EOS. Each individual or instance receive RAM priority in accordance to the number of tokens they hold. EOS can be staked in the PowerUp functionality by which users with no need for RAM can lend their bandwidth space to pther users with punctual needs.
