EOS Update: Canada Blockchain Consortium
When the EOS Network Foundation joined the Blockchain Gaming Alliance, it opened up the network to broader gaming opportunities. More recently, the ENF joined the Canada Blockchain Consortium (CBC). The CBC seeks to unite diverse blockchain interests. EOS brings more functionality to the effort. As EVM sets to go live, IBC and IF remain hot topics. The ENF also just released its January Program & Operations Health Report. Want to know how an obscure group lifted the New EOS out of turmoil? How about gaining insight into where the EOS Network is heading? Read Towards A More Robust and Autonomous EOS Ecosystem to learn about where we’ve been and where we’re going.
Yves Ranks #46, Binance AMA, and L&E Partnership
Yves La Rose has done a lot to improve the image of the EOS Network. In addition to ranking #46 on Cointelegraph’s Top 100 Influencers in Crypto and Blockchain, Yves joined Binance for an AMA. Larry of Binance Earn joined Yves during the live stream. Check out this clip. The community got some news and 5,000 EOS in participation rewards. The timing is ideal as Binance renews interest in its Learn & Earn program. EOS rewards are available from Feb 16 through March 2. It’s only the beginning of EOS’ expansion. EOS EVM will launch with a live IBC. Imagine EOS on the lips of a community that brings together Ethereum, BSN, and Antelope-based chains.
Facings, EVMNS, and RFP Award
EOS preparation for mass adoption is ahead of the curve. In this section are select projects adding value to key elements of the New EOS.
Facings was among the topics discussed on Everything EOS Podcast
EVM Name Service (EVMNS) makes it easy to connect all sorts of features across Web3
Fudan University in China was awarded the P2P for discovery RFP
Facings new tools will unlock NFT technology. EOS, with the help of Facings, positions itself to lead nextgen gaming. Learn more about EVMNS and Fudan’s RFP award on the ENF’s GitHub.
Monthly BP Meetings
One of the ENF’s most profound accomplishments was enticing block producers (BPs) to get more involved in mainnet development. The unfulfilled promises of the previous lead developer did more than dishearten the community. Developers were among the hardest hit given the minuscule funds made available. Top BPs still earned, but the EOS Network of a couple of years ago was not what most signed up for. Enter the ENF. Among the most recent efforts is to improve communication between the foundation and the top 30 BPs. Read about the EOS Top 30 Block Producer Monthly Call Recap. It was the first meeting of its kind and should fit in nicely with the weekly Node Operator Roundtable and regular Antelope Coalition meetings.
The DAO of DAOs: Bywire DAO, DAO Universe, and Hypha
Was it Dan Larimer who first called EOS “the DAO of DAOs”? A few DAO projects are worth mentioning this week. Bywire DAO is an in-development empowerment mechanism for news providers and their readers. Bywire just minted NFTs for the Jeff vs The Metaverse series. The series is an animated satire about the future of the blockchain industry. DAO Universe brings together non-profit organizations that value Mother Earth and societal welfare. Club DAO will gather together in Bali for a month between March 30 and April 30 to kick off the incubation of heart-based projects with global impact. View the brochure for more information. When it comes to DAO tooling, Hypha DAO is leading the way for distributed human organizations (DHO) in the information age. Hypha is making a strong impact on EOS. EOS Respect (monthly elections), EOS Audit (accounting), and EOS Synergy (live updates) are rapidly developing.
More About IBC
As previously mentioned, inter-blockchain communication remains a hot topic. Assets running on multiple chains are the future. IBC is live on EOS and other Antelope-based chains. The bridge can be easily accessed via the Alcor Exchange. Defibox recently held an AMA about IBC and everything Telos. Vault (on Defibox) offers several benefits for EOS users including exchanging sEOS and USN. Combined with instant finality (IF), IBC is key to EOS’ leadership role in bringing crypto to the masses. Learn more by watching last month’s Let's Talk Instant Finality & Inter-Blockchain Communication!
