One of the differentiators that sets EOS apart from other blockchains is its resource staking mechanism -- users get access to chain-wide CPU and bandwidth resources by staking EOS tokens. However, with the incredible user and dapp adoption that we’ve seen, resource staking has also become a bottleneck at times. Block Producers and Block.one have both been working to resolve these issues.
Namespace Auctions - Why has StartEOS Won 4 of the Largest Auctions?
A unique feature of EOS compared to other blockchains is that it allows a user to create a unique, human-readable account name. This helps to alleviate issues that arise through the use of public keys or public key hashes as the main identifier of an account, i.e. the long strings of characters seen on the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks.
Inflation on EOS: What do I Need to Know?
Inflation of EOS tokens drives the entire system - funds the Block Producers, the Worker Proposal Fund, and allows for free transactions for users. The launch of the EOS network is fast approaching and we still see a lot of questions surrounding the inflation system. We would like to clear up a few things.
Thank You to our Chinese Friends For Inviting Us
I recently had the pleasure of being invited to Shanghai to take part in two major EOS events, one hosted by EOS Gravity and one hosted by EOS Cannon, Cybex, Wancloud, and JRR Crypto. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my hosts and the whole community for welcoming us and to acknowledge the incredible enthusiasm surrounding EOS in China. I had the pleasure of nurturing many new friendships, and look forward to growing these many relationships.

What is the Role of a Block Producer
Thinking about the possibility of joining the Block Producer (BP) community? Wondering what a BP actually does? We’re going to try to break this down more, as we believe it’s extremely important to
understand how BPs interact with EOS.IO
, and how they bolster the community that we’re all building. We would recommend first watching
this video
created by EOSphere. They did an excellent job of explaining this, we’re just looking to add some depth to what they’ve put out there already.
Q&A - EOS Blockchain Launch - Could We See Multiple Chains?
Alexandre Bourget, from EOS Canada, gives his opinion on what could happen upon the launch of the EOS.IO software. Will we see multiple chains? If so, what happens? Will they honour the ERC-20 token distribution? Here’s a quick preview of what you should know.
EOS Block Producer Illustrative Revenue Analysis - How will a Block Producer be Rewarded?
Disclaimer: We are aware that the block reward system is in constant change. At the original date of posting, this model encapsulated the latest information available. Once more definitive information becomes available, we will be reworking the model to reflect those changes.
One of the first steps any business has to take before opening up shop is to run an analysis on their projected revenue and return. We at EOS Canada felt that the community would benefit from a public model that can be tailored to each person’s assumptions to help in their decision making. After all, if a Block Producer (BP) or Standby Producer (SP) can’t fund their operation, they would have to drop out of their role.
