Eden Election Scheduling Issue

The third Eden on EOS election is scheduled for July 9th. Note that you may need to re-register. There was a slight issue with the contract. It’s believed to have been resolved. However, review and testing will precede MSIG approval. It’s not clear when sign ups will be official. Edencommunity.org expects not to update the new election date until the contract is finalized. CDs maintain that the election will occur as regularly scheduled later this week.

Pomelo Season 3

Each Pomelo season promises to outdo the one prior. Like Pomelo NFTs, new funding rounds expect to bring new features. The team works diligently to provide the community with a robust experience and analytical tools. If the past two seasons are any indication, season 3 stats will inspire discussions extending throughout the greater ecosystem. Here’s the season schedule taken directly from the Pomelo Medium announcement:

July 19–August 8: Create your grants for public goods. As grants are created, the Pomelo team approves the ones that qualify.

July 27–August 17: Donate EOS to your favourite grants and influence the distribution of the matching pool.

After August 17: The Pomelo team analyzes results and distributes the matching pool to qualified grants that pass KYC.

Dan on Fractally and Legal DAOs

Fractally’s release date has yet to be set. The technology is still in development. Rumors are that a final product is in sight. The focus seems to be on delivering the best possible long term solution. Dan Larmier has been active in presenting issues that impact both fractally and blockchain as a whole. In fact, the subject matters that Dan writes about have far reaching implications for human life as a whole. Last week he dug into the need for fractal democracy. The previous week previewed the fractally database. Persistent discussions in the crypto space often relate to regulation. This week Dan expanded on some ideas he touches upon in weekly fractally meetings, that of the legal stand of a DAO. Fractally is unique in the crypto space. It’s being developed with both the latest technical ideas and regulatory concerns in mind.

Mandel to Fix Lost Transactions

Cryptocurrencies can be intimidating for new users. Non-technical individuals often wonder about lost keys and transactions. Traditional banking relies strongly on relationships to resolve matters. Blockchain is supposed to be better than these types of guesses. The new EOSIO (Mandel 3.1) tackles lost transactions and account recovery. Most blockchains avoid such topics until a rollback becomes the only viable option. Mandel will bring “powerful new tools” for optimizing the user experience, as well as solve issues related to subjective billing and lost transactions. Account recovery was touched upon from time to time earlier this year. Essentially, users may soon have the ability to authorize family and friends (or a combination of protocols) to reinstate their account. The only option currently available is to submit a request at the BP level, a rather daunting, if not futile, endeavor.

Token 2049 Approaches with the Spotlight on TrustEVM

Mandel isn’t just the third generation of the EOS mainnet. It’s the first time the community has had true input into development. For years the mainnet community voiced, even demanded, greater development. Oftentimes these cries went unheard. Not so ever since Mandel arrived. Development on EOS proceeds beyond most wildest dreams. All the effort and energy comes to an apex this December as Mandel sets to go live. Token 2049 happens the same month. A mostly covert dev team leaks tidbits of their event agenda from time to time. Not surprising that TrustEVM (as well as Recover+) are already fueling September rumors.

EdenOS Governance

The week prior to an Eden on EOS election has typically been quiet. Given the issue with the election smart contract, preparations for the third election feels more like the first one. And then there’s the recently declared independence and request for the blockchain keys. Keep a mindful ear, especially if you’re planning on participating. Regularly scheduled weekly news and events include:

• 12th, and (fingers crossed) final, meeting of the second term CDs

• Fireside Chat Q&A

• Mandel meeting #21

• Coalition+ working group progress update

• Top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week

• Daily news by EOS Vision

• EOS Support news and trivia giveaway

Fractally Consensus

Fractally differs from EdenOS in its design for faster consensus via small groups. This week saw a test version of the new UI. As promised, the in-development video technology is a decentralized solution. A few advantages were touched upon, like remaining an independent participant even if one’s connection goes down. The new UI wasn’t used during this Saturday’s meeting. Instead a clip of a breakout group showed how much easier and faster consensus meetings can be. Saturday’s meeting had several breakout rooms. Hope you join the discussion of an amazing new way to network.

Daniel Larimer on Fractal Democracy

Dan asked the question:

… If public goods generally require government subsidies how will the market  profitably produce real decentralization ? …

It coincides with his article, What is Fractal Democracy? Voting was paid special attention. Here’s he differentiates between traditional voting processes and what occurs in a fractal:

Typical voting processes have a pre-defined ballot which limits the choice of the people. Using fractal voting there is no need for a pre-defined ballot and all members of a fractal democracy have equal opportunity to be heard.

A government for and by the people was the product of soldiers, warriors and survivalists who initially sought representation. The idea that everyone in the world would have at their fingertips a supercomputer (by 1969 standards) to allow for a fully distributed voting process was unthinkable. In fractally, the base goal is to institute meaningful voting. After all, why cast a vote if one’s presence at a Party’s party will better further one’s political agenda.

Yves and a bit from the ENF

It’s hard to separate Yves from the ENF. This week, Big Beard Samurai seems to be on fire. He commented about:

• ZEOS whitepaper

• Gaming and crypto

• Funding options

• ENF COO Ted Cahall

• Scalability+ Blue Paper

• Recover+ program

• Horizon bridge hack

There’s more from BBS on their twitter. The ENF also had something to chime in on the Yield+ portal preview (actually, quite a big deal is the Yield+ release) and the impact Object Computing has had on EOS development.

EOS Support Giveaways, Meetups and More

Every week EOS Support delivers for the community. The team and its agents are a community asset in more ways than one. Giveaways have been held on Thursdays:

Win up to 50 $EOS and learn all about EOS

Meetups are gaining momentum. Check out the "Get EOS Blockchain Technology" meetup. In that spirit, MyvoteEOS went on a journey to promote EOS. What a way to reach out! EOS Support is a dedicated community with EOS experts. It’s also a network serving to uplift the community. Whether you're looking for onboarding for yourself or a friend, or more complex applications, EOS Support is the place to start your journey. Take a look at its step-by-step guides like how to create a multisig. 

Faster Finality

EOS is fast. It’s lightning in a bottle compared to most other blockchains. So what’s the need to get faster? It’s more about finality than base speed. If EOS can finalize transactions quicker, it enables developers to architect longer stung applications. With EOS EVM on the horizon, faster finality will go a long way in supporting new applications. Faster Finality also serves to make EOS more attractive to the Ethereum community of developers and greater ecosystem. This is important considering the negative press EOS has fielded over the past few years.

Eden Bylaws Amendment

Second term Chief Delegates have set their eyes on defining what it means to be Eden. In recent weeks, that took the form of declaring independence. Prior to that, at the beginning of their term, the group sought to pass bylaws. These bylaws were written by first term Chief Delegates. The founding group could not define Eden because they had a lot on their plate- like collecting and allocating the first funding distribution. Second term CDs have looked at and refocused attention on how best to move Eden forward. Thus, we have this week’s amended bylaws proposal for 3rd term CDs to consider. Among the highlighted topics in the video is for consistency. More specifically, a call for future CDs to not act contrary to existing bylaws. Members can find more information through the recaps channel.

Coalition+ Report and Imminent Brand Reveal

It’s been nice having the Coalition+ team keeping the community informed. Coalition+ is one of the fastest growing working groups. Hope for a prosperous future also comes in how this working group spans blockchains. Now with a bit of background, the imminent brand reveal makes more sense. Coalition+ has its sights on the sky. Yes, it’s a working group, but it’s one that’s running. Few continue to run past their young, athletic days (or ICO development phase). For those that do, some get to soar. Coalition+ has always had the runner's eye. 

Around Eden on EOS

The 11th meeting of second term CDs was discussed above. Voting for the third term happens on July 9. Get ready for the next phase in Eden’s development. BPs, funding, and scope are all hot topics. In other mainnet news, team Mandel met for the 20th time, Fireside Chat, Top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week, and daily news by EOS Vision. Also previously mentioned, the EOS Support team hosts weekly trivia.

Fractally Consensus

Sorry, I missed this past week’s Saturday meeting. Getting info second hand. Good thing for the recaps channel. What is fractally? It’s a way to achieve fair quick consensus. Fractally can support governance across platforms, industries and sectors. Join the discussion.

Mandel 3.1 Release Candidate #1

It’s been a long time coming, but Mandel is finally here. Baring testing and BPs finding consensus, Mandel 3.1 expects to go live this September. The ENF released a product (Mandel 3.1 Release Candidate #1) for testing on the 4th anniversary of EOS. Anong the features the ENF listed as part of the release candidate are:

… protocol upgrades enabling contracts to get the current block number and to accelerate various cryptographic computation…

In anticipation of the activity that the Trust Network expects to bring, the ENF seeks to hire new talent. 

Happy Birthday EOS

June 14th marks the anniversary of EOS’ first block producers. The blockchain itself was published and actively tested earlier in 2018. However, active block producers means P2P transactions and an open mainnet network. EOS Authority wished the community a:

Happy birthday EOS! 🎉

The veteran team maintains maybe the best known block explorer. Leave it to them to acknowledge the importance of this anniversary:

On June 14th 2018… the $EOS Mainnet was activated. We also produced our first blocks. Original BPs list …

The World Has Another Eden

If you’ve been following Eden on EOS then you know how crucial it is for a blockchain to secure reasonable governance. Eden has shown both promise and growing pains. While Eden on EOS Chief Delegates seek to acquire the keys of the mainnet, another community grows in its shadow. Brighter by the day, Eden China recently held the second independent trial election using Eden technology. Playing a key role is Gracie Lau, a current BP for Eden on EOS.

Yves and ENF

It was a busy week all around. Here’s a few more highlights from the ENF and its Founder and CEO Yves La Rose. The ENF is looking to hire new talent. So is Nathan James. The Yield+ liquidity incentives program continues to gain momentum. Yves discussed carbon markets, the importance of revitalizing the ecosystem, the challenges of the job, and the next wave of DeFi. Both Yves and Blockchain Zack discussed the Trust Network this week. Also be aware of the community discussion around the EOS EVM on Twitter spaces

Recover+

Lost account? No problem. OK, maybe not as easy as a phone call. Afterall, this is blockchain. Still, what the Recover+ group is working toward is amazing. Imagine having a way, one that you’re comfortable with, to both maintain control over your digital assets while recovering a lost account. The recently released Recover+ Blue Paper goes into what’s possible. Account recovery has been a hot topic in recent months. A variety of methods have been explore, including securing recovery with family and friends. Here’ what Yves La Rose had to say:

…We researched the best solutions to recover hacked funds and ensure #EOS users are protected. DeFi 3.0 will have an insurance layer and it'll be built on $EOS…

Pomelo Season 3 NFTs

Another season of Pomelo approaches. How do we know? A new set of NFTs are coming. Check out the teams’s Medium post to learn more. 

Eden CDs Declare Independence

This past week may prove to be a turning point for Eden on EOS. Reigning Chief Delegates posted a declaration of independence. It’s not an empty action. The objective is to take ownership of the mainnet’s keys. Daniel Larimer commented on the implications of the Chief Delegates’ declaration of independence. He cited legal concerns. In normally scheduled mainnet news, there was the 10th meeting of this terms CDs, team Mandel meeting #19, Top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week, daily news by EOS Vision, and as always, the weekly Fireside Chat. You may also wish to catch the brief discussion and giveaways being hosted by the EOS Support team. 

Fractally Consensus

Dan doesn’t publish every week, but when he does, the ground beneath seems to shake. Commenting on the CDs declaration was just one of the impacts his writing had in recent days. Maybe the most powerful, and certainly the most technical was his post on the performance capabilities of the coming fractally database. Excitement continues to grow. Each passing Saturday whitepaper discussion feels more energetic. Now that a second fractal has spawned, there’s even more proof in concept. It’s by no means trivial to have the capacity to achieve meaningful consensus in a short time. Find out more by joining the whitepaper discussion.

Consensus 2022

Deemed the biggest festival in crypto, Consensus 2022 is open to mainstream companies like American Express. The premier card company added its first crypto-linked product. The event certainly had its moments. To say the CBDC topic was a heated one would be an understatement. Coindesk covered the controversy: 

You know it’s going to be a fiery conversation when one of the panelists says “F**k the Fed” in his opening statement.

Maybe the topic is a bit dicey for the credit card companies. That didn’t stop financial innovator Circle from voicing its thoughts:

 Dante Disparte, head of policy for stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial, called central bank digital currencies (CBDC) a “preposterous idea.”

Brandon Lovejoy is the ENF’s Communications Manager. He represented EOS at Consensus 2022 and recently published a continuation of the discussion Why Block One leaving EOS was the best thing for EOSIO. Who do you think would better help further mainnet development in representing EOS at Consensus 2022, B1 or the ENF?

Pomelo Update: The Good, the Bad, and the Opportunities

Team Pomelo is among the most analytical projects on the EOS mainnet. Expect anything less coming out of EOS Nation? Veteran community members know of the team’s relentlessness. On that note, here’s this week’s Pomelo update, a look into the positives and negatives of Season 2. Aspects hoping to find more profound growth during Season 3:

• Additional donors

• Increased funding

• More grants

Things that need refinement:

• Trust bonus (particularly adoption)

• Donor participation

Here are a couple of highlights from the Pomelo Medium post:

Grant owners needed opportunities to gain more exposure and promote their grants, especially those who didn’t already have established communities.

Grant donors told us they would like more visibility into a grant’s progress on commitments from the previous season, along with a way to validate the updates are accurate.

Yves La Rose: Executive Director/Founder of the ENF and Blockchain All Star

While Brandon is at the festival in Texas, Yves spreads the word via Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN) Eventbright. This will be the 11th interview of a Blockchain All Star. Learn more about Yves and how his passion for blockchain grew over the years. Be sure to join the event on June 14th at 9pm CST. Registration is free. 

EOS and the Future of Defi with Blockchain Zack

Brandon and Yves are not the only ones to watch out for this week. Zack discussed how:

…synergy between Yield+ and Recover+ will drive #TVL on $EOS …

Yield+ will reward defi applications that meet specific requirements. It may very well change the status quo of how EOS defi applications develop. Recover+ brings an added level of assurance, especially for those new to blockchain who may lose access to their assets. Zack believes that the new paradigm may: 

…inspire everyone in #DeFi…

Boid Charity Auction Supports Ukraine Effort

About a day ago, it was made public that the Ukraine military is running out of ammunition. External funding could help solve this problem. Ukraine continues to put up a good fight against a once perceived superior, even insurmountable, invader. It’d be a shame for Ukraine to lose its homeland to empty barrels. Food is also an issue. Enter team Boid. This week saw the Ukraine Boid Avatar Charity Auction. Avatars will be limited to 10. One will be auction per day and:

…All funds raised go to Ukraine support…

TrustEVM

If history is any indication, when a blockchain connects to Ethereum, there’s a run on price and assets like NFTs and defi. EOS EVM, dubbed the Trust Network, has already begun testing. The development and support team are actively raising awareness. A Medium post and a part of this week’s Fireside Chat offer basic information and deeper insight.

Explosive Development

What good would be connecting to a new blockchain without advancing the EOS mainnet? Couldn’t such a lack of planned innovation ultimately extract value from both chains? The ENF’s leadership as the developer of core mainnet technology didn’t start with an EVM. Rather, the foundation introduced it following the formation of key working groups and blue papers. On that note, the ENF continues to maintain an open process:

CD Meetings Back on Schedule

If you read last week’s EOSweekly, then you’re aware that the weekly Chief Delegate meeting was absent. Eden community is back to normal this week with two new publications on Odysee (CD meeting #9 and #8). The CDs also published the Eden Peace Treaty on Odysee.

EdenOnEOS Governance

The EOS public mainnet expects to one day be primarily governed by Eden. With Eden on EOS elections occurring every few months, the community needs a more rapid consensus mechanism. Enter team Fractally. This is the team that gave us Eden and of its same name, fractally consensus meetings. Nice to see a second fractally meeting specific for Eden take place this week. It serves to bring the ecosystem a bit closer together. Following up his star-like into last week, Nathan James asked the community:

Hey #blockchain #developers, what are your favorite tools for development?

As far as regular info mediums, the CD meetings (mentioned above) are back on track, Mandel meeting #18, Fireside Chat, Helios’ Top 5 #EOSIO Moments Of The Week, and for EOS daily news, check out EOS Vision.

Fractally Consensus

Another Saturday fractally meeting in the books. Seems like the community is finding its groove. Want proof? Check out this weeks addons (thanks to bytemaster7):

• test of first interim council

• fractally logo for community use

The fractally team seeks to protect development and copyrights while facilitating an open community. Fractally code has been committed for open-source. Until then, the community needs things like an interim process for the governing council. Find out more by joining the whitepaper discussion.

The Hunt for Developers: Spotlight on Nathan James

Those who’ve been around a couple of years probably used Scatter. It was the first EOS wallet. Nathan James was behind Scatter’s development. With the success of the Anchor wallet and other development opportunities, Nathan moved on to develop his own EOSIO-based chain in Ultra. Good news for Mandel in that Nathan is back and working with the EOS Network Foundation. His first mission is to recruit new developers. Other initiatives beyond aiding the ENF’s own development goals include hackathons and developer events, a mentor program, and a variety of documentations, learning initiatives and demonstrations.

New Trust EVM Logo

The new reality of an EOS-ETH ecosystem quickly approaches. Already being tested by both core and dapp developers, EOS EVM (Trust Network) seems to be on schedule. Another sign is the new Trust EVM logo and branding. Read about the logo design strategies, how it’s expected to be used and more at the Trust Network’s Medium blog. Explore the expected benefits of:

• scaling

• low gas fees

• high throughput 

• security

• tools and more

Also note that one of the first community testnet applications of EVM token proved successful for me on June 5. The app tested: TrustSwap.

ENF News

Every week the ENF dominates EOS news; every week the ENF delivers something new. The EOS mainnet is in transition and the ENF is leading the way. So it’s no wonder that the community allows it such leeway. It has never demonstrated the complacency of Block.One, nor has it shown signs of slowing down. Besides having a direct hand or influence in other topics presented this week, the ENF released its bi-weekly report for the EOSIO Coalition+. Included in the report was the planned funding of 22 top priorities. The long term-plan and roadmap includes development goals and support. If you’ve stayed current then you’re aware that a mainnet consensus upgrade is scheduled for September. Also scheduled for the end of the same month is Token 2049 in Singapore. The event expects to attract 3,000 members of the crypto community. Also note that the ENF, Coalition+ and Greymass are teaming up specifically to advance Wallet SDKs. Among the objectives are better user experiences and the development environment.

EOS Support Scam Warning

EOS Support provides a variety of services. Onboarding new users is merely one. The team remains diligent about protecting the community and identifying new scams. A new social media scam was found this week. EOS Support described it as an EOS account verification scam on its site. Recommended practices would at least:

• Never follow any instructions you get via private messages on social media.

• Never enter your private key on social media or suspicious websites.

• If you are not 100% sure, you can always ask EOSsupport.io before claiming anything!

You can find a list of known scams here.

Defibox

Team Defibox took time out this week to talk about stable coins and security. Indeed both should be primary concerns of any defi platform. EOS token holders have come to expect the best from Defibox. Speaking about security the team said it to be its top priority. Defibox thanked a bug hunter for discovered a new threat. A reward was also deemed in order. In fact, a Defibox official added:

We reward experts who invest time and effort in improving the security of Defibox！

When discussing stable coins, Defibox expressed the desire for increased support. USN, USDT, and the Balance protocol were specifically singled out. Advancing liquidity is key for both Defibox and EOS (Yield+) alike.

Greymass Recruiting and the Roles of Anchor and Unicove

The ENF isn’t the only one who’s recruiting. So is Greymass and Team fractally for that matter. In it’s latest progress update (May) Greymass said:

…one of our primary goals this year is growing our small team and to help onboard new developers into the EOSIO ecosystem…

An ideal solution combines the right individuals alongside the building of new tools. Developers that Team Greymass are looking for should be: 

… interested in pushing the boundaries of these new technologies.

Included in the progress report was the new distinction between Anchor and Unicove:

…Anchor working towards being the EOSIO “authenticator” for any application and Unicove being the primary EOSIO “wallet” interface Greymass offers.

This week, Greymass also gave the community a heads up on some unexpected network behavior. A server failure saw users connected to North American relays being prompted to sign the last transaction performed. Greymass said that the request could safely be dismissed. 

‘Covert’ EOS Hackathon in Southern Italy

What is it about EOS Hackathons? Last week this newsletter reported on the ‘ENF’s pre-sign up and survey’ for EOSIO’s first hackathon without Block.one. All the while in Italy EOS took the spotlight at Blockchain Garden. Hope you’re not tired of hearing something along the lines of the following… ‘where most blockchains cater to miners, EOS’ high performance capabilities gravitates power toward developers’. Who values hackathons more, developers or miners/HODLers? It’d seem the former. Thanks to Bywire News for sharing the ItalyOnEOS (not really, just a pun) event. The hakathon exposed 200+ key people and influencers to what both blockchain and EOS have to offer the world.

EdenOnEOS Governance

Sorry readers… at the time of this week's publication, not found on either EdenOnEOS YT, Odyssey, twitter or telegram chats, was the seventh (2nd term) Chief Delegates meeting. Nor was there a newly posted MyvoteEOS BP interview. Like troopers, the Mandel team held its 17th meeting. And of course, the weekly Fireside Chat went on as scheduled. Not one to readily allow an info network to stagnate, I draw your attention to EOS Vision. The team delivers news daily, albeit in image format. Seemingly inspired by Pomelo, EOS Vision is proving as on topic as any info medium focused on the mainnet. If you’re looking for more, try Helios’ top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week.

Fractally Consensus

Each week I try to include a bit of new info about fractally and how it can add value to Eden governance. Fractally is about more than achieving quicker consensus than Eden. There’s a whole set of tools to be developed as outlined by the white paper. This week seemed to host one of the more quieter Saturday standup meetings. However, if one considers the potential for a second fractal meeting (with token allocation) this Wednesday, then the week may prove special indeed. Find out more by joining the whitepaper discussion.

Yield+ Blue Paper (In Full)

The Yield+ Blue Paper is finally here. Maybe you’re wondering about new topics that weren’t outlined in last week's ENF preview post. When overviewing the program, the ENF tweeted:

Yield+ proposes a custom Liquidity Rewards Program for the #EOS Network. 🚀

Its goal is to adapt and improve upon existing (DeFi related) programs…, bring more activity on-chain, and increase earning opportunities for users.

Yield+ adopts successful strategies for liquidity rewards for the EOS mainnet. As one might expect, EOS’ high performance design allows for unparalleled advantages. Read tge blue paper to dig deeper into last week’s topics:

• TVL as the primary metric for qualifying dapp projects

• advanced rewards

• expanded asset support

The blue paper also discusses pertinent issues like DeFi risks and attacks. There’s a plethora of visual statistics illustrating liquidity incentives. Clear details about the rewards program precedes a discussion about data modeling and risk analysis. An oracle will measure the Total Value Locked (TVL); initial service will incur a fiat structured cost. The final two sections discuss the treasury and deliverables.

Defibox Balances the Scales

Visit Defibox and find a relatively complex array of financial tools. Community sentiment was overwhelming upon launch. EOS low transaction fees are well known. Maybe this is why Defi on EOS excites so many. With Balance officially launched by Defibox, a low slippage, price fluctuation, and impermanent loss solution enters the ecosystem. EOS Nation is also involved in the open source project that was audited by several companies. Current support exists for USDT and USN stable coins as well as user provided liquidity. Functionality as described by the Defibox team:

Balance uses a unique constant product + constant sum function model. With a constant sum model near the price equilibrium point, the liquidity is concentrated near this point and the liquidity depth of stable coins is guaranteed. Therefore, stablecoin transactions on the Balance protocol can reduce users’ slippage losses.

New EOS Hackathon

If you’ve been around EOS long enough then you know the value and excitement surrounding hackathons. Impact projects got started here. Winners are held in high regard. All that was before the new EOSIO era, when B1 was Block.one and a corporate agenda essentially dictated new development. Imagine what a more decentralized and open source focused EOS will attract. Chris Barnes is part of the Helios team. He was the first (non-official) Eden Satoshi (Head Chief Delegate). Chis tweeted the ENF’s pre-sign up and survey for what may prove to be the first EOSIO Hackathon deemed worthy of an unleashed EOS public mainnet.

Coalition+ Reports Some Lift

The Coalition+ team seems set on delivering weekly report. No doubt working groups are better for it. Doubt a dedicated section will live here (never know). Eden and Fractally neighborhoods expect to grow alongside the ecosystem. The ENF as a public advocate and developer may outlive the Coalition’s purpose. Nevertheless, the objectives of working groups need a gathering point. Coalition reports can provide far reaching alignment for all contributing developers as well as onlooking projects. So why the section this week? Check out the ENF’s tweets (1, 2, 3) about:

• Set priorities

• Request for proposals for wallet SDKs and finality

• $2M quarterly dev fund 

• EOSIO rebrand

Pomelo Stats are Meaningful

Team Pomelo dishes out funding to the broader community. Many well deserved projects find relief here. Still, there’s an air of heightened excitement of receiving funds that seems to overshadow the process of advancing public goods like EOS Costa Rica’s EOSIO Dashboard. Funding by the ENF and Helios teams don’t attract the same attention and neither seems as strictly dedicated to public goods. Maybe this is why the EOS mainnet community enjoys Pomelo stats so much. Here are just a few to you’re encourage to visit the Pomelo blog:

• 100+ projects approved

• 1000+ donors

• 7000+ contributors

• $900,000+ match funds

Fractally: What’s Possible?

Finding links for fractallyNews aren’t as easy as for Eden. Heck, fractally probably won’t be called fractally. And rumors about a new chain appear true. So if you’re wondering about how to stay in the know about everything fractally, you’ll need to join the weekly standup meetings and engage in the AMA and discussion. As a regular attendee I can say that the community welcomes new members and their ideas. Contributions come in all forms. Networking finds fertile ground. All that without a dedicated platform or streamlined onboarding. Imagine the possibilities.

Around Eden, and the Mainnet Community

Second term Chief Delegate meeting #6 saw a vote to ratify Yves La Rose as ENF President (courtesy of Michael O’Sullivan). Brock Pierce mapped out an ideal system of governance. Seems like Eden’s role as a mainnet governing body has gained some momentum. This section is about Eden and the community it governs. It’s a place to find news like a curated list of resources. Last week’s Mandel (#15) discussion talked about a new developer environment released this week by ENF and team. Termed D.U.N.E., the new environment comes in light of community feedback and needing to replace a docker image for lost native Mac support. View Mandel meeting #16 for more details. The ENF posted about subjective billing and lost transactions. As always, the community got together for another Fireside Chat. MyvoteEOS BP interviews are heating up.

More Funding Coming to Eden?

Eden Chief Delegate meeting #5 may prove to be a memorable one. Its ultimate impact may lead to increased Eden’s funding. Chris Barnes listed the key issues. CDs look to request funding from the ENF. A new motion could increase the treasure draw rate by 3 fold. For more details, visit Bywire’s posting of meeting minutes. This wasn’t the only topic on the agenda. Other topics discussed included:

• individual CD updates

• a treasury report

• motion for Eden as a legal trust

• member services

Present at the meeting were Gracie Lau, Michael O'Sullivan, Chuck MacDonald, and Edgar Fernandez. Brock Pierce was not in attendance. That didn’t stop Helios (of which Brock is CEO) from supporting the initiative via tweet.

Yield+ Nearing Launch Cycle

There’s a lot of excitement around Yield+. Developers believe that incentivized liquidity is key to taking EOS (and DeFi for that matter) to the next level. For a deeper dive, view a recent Everything EOS video with Yves La Rose, Zack Gall, and Denis Carriere. Portal and smart contracts are already funded. This is in anticipation of leveraging the Trust Network. The broader developer community will also be able to hit the ground running. The ENF confirmed that the final format of the Yield+ Blue Paper is nearly ready. It’s release will coincide with Korean and Chinese translations. TrimBot pointed how a lot of recent EOS development is a long time coming:

…The @EosNFoundation is doing everything Block1 should have been doing for EOS, which is why you see lots of devs… returning to build on EOS.

Tapping B1 Locked Funds

Virtually anyone in EOS can speak volumes about the B1 locked token controversy. Well, at least any regular participant in daily chats. For that reason, and to avoid as much of my bias as possible, variously selected tweets will populate this entry. Starting with the ENF about the token unlocking schedule:

“...resolved to dismiss @B1 and cut …(67 million $EOS tokens) that B1 was scheduled to unlock over the following six years."

ENF on motivation:

“…mistakes that pushed the #EOS Network Foundation (#ENF) and the $EOS community to fight back and try to rebuild the blockchain."

Industry support:

"Many in the blockchain and #Web3 community wish the #ENF and @BigBeardSamurai good luck in their endeavors in trying to bring justice to the block producers and investors in $EOS..."

Crypto Daily:

…New Hope…

Trim Bot on a caring community:

Block1 didn’t care about EOS…but the community does. The community-led @EosNFoundation has helped revive EOS…

EOS Go excerpt:

..#EOS keeps building…

The Money Team GH concurs that EOS has a lot in the “pipeline” even beyond:

…governance & tech…

More eyes are on EOS. That’s clear. The above illustrates how EOS news continues to expand. Recent media coverage outside of localized EOS mediums comes by way of CoinPedia, Crypto Bulls Club (timeline), Crypto News Flash, ZCrypto, Crypto Daily, and Coin Checkup. That’s in addition to The Money Team’s and other twitter threads.

It’s Pomelo Reporting Day!

Season 2 of Pomelo has been analyzed and grants appropriately adjusted. Many in the community expressed their excitement over the new stats. Will Pomelo charts become a celebrated thing? They are indeed important in that the team determines critical metrics to address the following:

• Quid pro quo

• Sybil attacks

• Collusion

Any project found guilty of the above was either disqualified or had their matching pool reduced. The most funding lost amounted to over $100,000. The top winner, EOS Web Wallet Plugin, gaining over $13,000. No wonder why there was so much excitement on Pomelo reporting day! View the full report entitled Pomelo Season 2 Analysis: Matching Pool Distribution on the team’s Medium blog.

Mandel Upgrade Set for September 23

EOS is not like other blockchains. The mainnet community knows this. New users quickly come to understand the same through blazing speed and easy-to-use apps. Such advantages are possible because of EOS’ blockchain innovations. Listen to what Yves La Rose said about the unique way EOS upgrades. In describing how a parameter changes on the mainnet, Yves said the following:

EOS essentially forks continuously… gone through multiple forks

These are considered soft forks. Unlike most other blockchain networks, EOS affords BPs ample time to test and come to consensus on new parameter changes. Confusion lies in misconceptions about expected new token releases. This is often associated with large scale changes in early generation blockchain tech like PoW. He goes on to say:

…Hard fork means something very specific to 99% of blockchain users and it is not the case in EOS

Basically, if the top 21 BPs reach consenus and are capable of implementing the new changes, the system upgrades. The consensus upgrade is scheduled for September 23. The YT video (above) begins at Yves comments about these upgrade differences.

Around fractally, Eden, and the Mainnet Community

Can fractally be incorporated into the Eden decision making process? Some within the community believe so. There’s also been talk of using a fractallyEden standard for the next election. Additionally, a small group is trying to incorporate fractally into informal Eden meetings. Meetings every other week or so have been suggested. Hope by now it’s understood that fractally and Eden are complementary technologies- one focused on governance and the other on consensus. If you’re looking to make a difference or want the inside scope, join a fractally meeting and experience the potential of blockchain consensus. As for what’s going on in Eden besides the motion to increase funding (CD meetign #5- see first entry above), check out this week’s Fireside Chat and Mandel meeting #15 (also discussed above).

Rebranding EOS: Historical Significance and Look Forward

The EOS mainnet community patiently awaits the next upgrade of EOSIO in Mandel. Note that the name Mandel is a placeholder for the rebranded version of EOSIO.  The ENF retweeted $4 Billion DAO’s Medium post. The story looks back at the early success of the mainnet, the issues that led to its fall out of the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap, and its return to form under the leadership of the ENF. Three key issues identified by $4 Billion DAO pertain to:

• DeFi

• GameFi

• in-fighting

While EOS took a relatively lax approach to DeFi and virtually missed out on GameFi, several of the top blockchains aggressively pursued both. In-fighting among prominent mainnet developers made success difficult for those who wished to produce in both arenas. Now, under the ENF’s leadership, much needed infrastructure begins to take shape. This is the main reason why EOS is garnering attention from top media outlets like Forbes.

Yves, Pierce Talk EOS Wired on B1

So you already heard, EOS is rebranding from years under B1. Wired looked at both sides, that of Block.one (now rebranded as B1) and those directly developing the EOS mainnet. Pierce might not initially seem like he belongs in the dev chat, but he’s no stranger to getting new crypto tech off the ground. In fact, Wired states:

…Pierce suggested rescuing EOS through the launch of an investment firm called Helios, which would be endowed with the newly acquired tokens. “I'm no longer a [Block.one] shareholder, which means I don't have any limitations,” Pierce told WIRED in November. “I'm free to do whatever I think is necessary for the ecosystem at this point. “

Yves La Rose’s perspective on the launch of Bullish:

…“They are essentially getting away with $9 billion,” he says. “And they did it in a legal way.”

As for the B1 side, their strongest argument seems to be centered around legal challenges. Several B1 developers have left to help make EOS the best it can be.

EOS Support CMC Registering and Survey

EOS Support continues its pursuit of making EOS more accessible. Its latest endeavor is a proposal to manage traffic from Coin Market Cap. The team would register contact@eossupport.io on the CMC website at coinmarketcap.com/currencies/eos/. This would help align the old EOS dynamic with core development done exclusively by the community. EOS support is also conducting a survey of the platform and its developers. Add these two initiatives to ongoing services like coordinating the Mandel upgrade, and EOS Support demonstrates a knack for onboarding.

EOS Rate 2.0

Voting for block producers would have little meaning for average users without tools like those provided by EOS Rate. Provided by EOS Costa Rica, EOS Rate 2.0 is open source and made to connect all members of the mainnect community more closely to their active BPs. Token holders have access to a rating system that aids in discerning among the most valude BPs. The tool is also a voting portal. Here are some of the new changes in EOS Rate 2.0:

• Likes (and dislikes)

• User comments

• general code refactoring

• Improved home page

Here’s a direct link to the EOS Rate homepage; click “start rating” to begin.

Ecosystem News Growth

One of the positives that goes virtually unnoticed since the ENF took over for B1 is EOS news. EOS Nation’s Hot Sauce is regular again. Everything EOS’ weekly report is back under the directive of the ENF. And then there’s new projects like EOS Vision’s monthly report and daily newsletters. EOS Vision is what inspired this section. As always, there’s quick access to Hot Sauce and Everything EOS in COMMUNITY CHATTER (below). EOS Vision’s website is being worked on. A wonderful story of a team working out of Venezuela and the challenges faced in a tough economic climate. Other EOS news outlets include a partnership with Helios and team Helios itself (EOSIO Moments [week and Q1]).

EOSIO+ Coalition Report

Yep, the EOSIO+ Coalition already delivered a report. Here’s what the team of team’s has been doing:

• Over 20 items up for Coalition funding and more RFPs (Request for Proposal) sought

• Scalabitly+

• Rebranding the new EOSIO (Mandel)

The Coalition has an annual budget of $8 million. It wants to attract more developers and teams to join its efforts. Brought to life in the environment of EOS working groups, the Coalition now plans one of its own in Scalability+. Expect a Blue Paper detailing how to take EOS to the masses. Last, but certainly not least, is Mandel. EOSIO needed a rebrand so as to distinguish its capabilities from those imposed by B1. Mandel marks the beginning of the community's thought process. The new EOSIO will not likely be called Mandel, so the end of Mandel will usher in a new dawn in EOSIO. By the way, has the Coalition considered starting its own fractal?

Around the fractallyEden Ecosystem

The difference between fractally and Eden is one of consensus vs governance. Eden is the governance mechanism for the EOS mainnet. For achieving efficient consensus, fractally is where it's at, or where it will be at once the tech is operational. There’s a lot going on in fractally, but with tech in-development, you’re encouraged to join the whitepaper discussion (and earn some RESPECT while you’re at it). For members looking for something fractally faster, try Brainstorming Sessions (#8). On EOS, check out Mandel meeting #14, the recent Fireside Chat, and Chief Delegate meeting (#5). This past week, Bywire also introduced Eden Town Halls. Note that Bywire’s Michael O’Sullivan was recently interviewed by Nova Crypto.

From working groups to working together, the ecosystem’s new motto: “action, action, we have action”. EOS Shareity delivers its report while ENF goes sight seeing for developers. Eden being down by law nicely compliments Yield+ liquid refreshments and EVM token capital demand. On the horizon, Mandel and fractally gain momentum.

TOP HEADLINES

EOS Shareity Monthly Report

Even those new to the EOS community cannot miss an overwhelming drive to do good. Traditional financial incentives are as alive on EOS as anywhere else. That’s what makes charitable contributions all the more impressive. EOS makes it easy to give. Common obstacles like high fees and slow transactions don’t exist here. This means streamlined value transference with immediate global impact. All this comes to light in EOS Shareity’s monthly report. Recent impact includes:

• Food And Medicine (Santa Lucia Church)

• Medicine and Medical Supplies 

• Help2Ukraine Donations

Over 800 EOS was received by 36 individuals, with life altering effects sure to be far greater. The team also launched new NFTs and Shareity Coin. Qualifying for a proof of donation NFT starts at 2 EOS. Or maybe you wish to purchase a Help2Ukraine NFT. Visit the blog post for more details. Thanks to EOS Vision for bringing this project to light.

Eden Chief Delegates Approve Bylaws

If you’ve been following the progress made by Chief Delegates, then you’re aware of the emphasis placed on bylaws. Technical implementation of bylaws was among the key issues during the CDs 4th meeting. Edenia was suggested for the tech role during the 3rd meeting. Bylaws were officially ratified during the 4th meeting. This sets the next election for July 9th. Ratification of the technical lead was hoped to take place alongside the bylaws. This didn’t officially happen.  However, the CDs are confident that their choice for the tech team will satisfactorily implement the bylaws. One of the earliest mentions of the bylaws was on March 26 by Chris Barnes. Here’s a direct link. Also note that Eden discord is now in the hands of the CDs allowing for more elaborate community engagement.

ENF Developer Spotlight Series

It’s good to see attention being given to developers. Non-developer contributions need attention too. It can be argued that EOS token holders dominated mainnet decisions to the point of negative impact. Maybe if contributions were given more attention, B1 would have prioritized core mainnet development. Developers cannot do it all. They need support, creativity, and diversified ideas. However, start with developers and all the pieces can be tied together. Developers and contributors are also less likely to prematurely leave than token holders. The first spotlight is on ENF Director of Engineering Areg Hayrapetian:

"With blockchain, I feel like the critical time for the history of that technology is the present."

Read the full interview by Brandon Lovejoy. Here’s Brandon on why the new series:

It was a pleasure to interview @AregHayrapetian, a legendary developer and deep thinker, for the debut of my new series with the @EosNFoundation "Architects of Consensus", highlighting the unseen figures who make the magic of #EOS, #EOSIO, and blockchain in general possible!

Understanding Yield+ Rewards

Yield+ seems to be among the more popular working groups. Its reward mechanism was discussed midway through a recent Fireside Chat. Denis Carriere went into some of the details. Here’s part of an ENF selected quote:

…it's actual liquidity in the #EOS ecosystem doing DeFi work." @DenisCarriere on Yield+

The primary objective is to promote active defi protocols. This means it's entirely liquidity driven. There are no rewards for voting. Liquidity determines activity. EOS and Tether will be initiall supported. Other tokens expect to be added in the near future. Examples of  projects that qualify now include:

• Pizza

• Defibox lending

• Swap pools

Check Defi Llama for a list of other eligible projects.

TrustEVM Token IDE

Later in the same Fireside Chat, Yves explained the value of holding an IDE. In two words (and following with a long pause):

external capital

The pause was indicative of the potential for controversy. It’s about the immediate advantages of an IDE vs. a 100% airdrop. A partial airdrop remains possible. However, the real issue for the EOS community is the value add. EVM tokens via IDE will positively impact EOS token holders and the mainnet economy. ENF’s promise maintains a direct EOS price impact. Yves went on to say that the team is still:

ironing out the details 

The biggest take from the EVM token IDE is the capital influx right from the start. This means EOS will experience a net value increase. Essentially, at least someone will be paid without drawing value out of EOS. Yves was all but certain that a 100% airdrop would result in tokens being initially sold and subsequently devaluing mainnet assets. A couple of things to look out for might be the controlled value-to-use_case of the new EVM token, as well as, to whom the external capital flows.

Collaboration Updates: EOSIO+ Coalition, Vigor Origin, Chintai

Networking opportunities fostered by the EOSIO+ Coalition already show potential. Represented chains include:

… #EOS, @HelloTelos, @WAX_io, and @Network_UX.

Watch the video to see what was said at the April 28 coalition meeting. This past week, Charlie (of Meta Collect community) pointed out a key Vigor protocol update:

0rigin… entered into an agreement with the Vigor DAC… to assume the ongoing development, substantial restructuring, and multi-chain expansion of the Vigor Protocol… accelerate the release of Vigor 2.0…

Chintai may be the last update listed here, but its potential to impact the EOSIO ecosystem is profound. The team announced a partnership with Hubbis. After gauging the sentiment of 96 replies from Asian wealth management professionals, it was found: 

…some private banks and wealth management firms remain sceptical about cryptocurrencies… and …non-fungible tokens, but more positive about digital tokenisation via fractionalisations of underlying physical or financial assets … And ….private banks … and …independent wealth management …believe digital assets are core to our collective futures.

fractally Eden

fractally is not Eden and Eden is not fractally. fractally Eden can be the onset of a new paradigm that ensures the fractal growth of the ecosystem. Many of us meeting attendees hope that fractally can work with Eden governance. An Eden CD expressed interest in fractally tech for elections. Eden must remain on schedule and fractally isn’t ready just yet. fractally may choose EOS as its primary environment. However, it exists as a stand alone communication mechanism that can cross, not just blockchains, but traditional platforms as well. Now wonder why fractally Brainstorming Sessions (#7) continues to gain steam. On the EOS side, this week saw Mandel meeting #13, a scorching Fireside Chat, and a Chief Delegate meeting given its own section this week (see above). Maybe also take note of the chart (above) presented by Eden Capital of Mandel’s increased code activity.

Meta Collect Community

Looking for a fun way to get involved with the EOS community and sister chains? Join Meta Collect Discord for info about Mongs, Crunks, COLLECT tokens, and of course, our beloved Finney. Meta Collect co-founder was on GenPool Spotlight taking a fun look back at how it all got started. Discord is also a great place to get alerts about live shows and breakout twitter spaces. You can also just come to chill or learn about engagement rewards. Never know when there’ll be a popup trivia session, poker, game, or giveaways.

There’s no stopping EOS momentum. What will the ecosystem look like with a TrustEVM token tied to EOS? Greymass stealfully advances Unicove. The party quickly grows as EOS Coalition and Yeild+ advisors settle in. Hope the Bees can keep pace with the new dapp map. Tip bit: Bywire goes mobile.

TOP HEADLINES

TrustEVM and EOS Token Holders

Last week the ENF announced TrustEVM as its first released product. A text transcript of the launch event is now available. In regards to what the EVM means for token holders, Yves La Rose said:

"The $EOS token holders are the largest shareholders of the @TrustEvm product, so there's direct benefit to #EOS if the $EVM becomes successful." - @BigBeardSamurai

The ENF’s Zack Gall discussed his conversation with the TrustEVM team in a recent Fireside chat. He goes into the developer experiences both in and outside of blockchain. TrustEVM developers are open minded and dedicated to excellence: 

“... they're very connected in the Ethereum ecosystem and wider crypto ecosystem … a team that can execute." …

The ENF is essentially incubating TrustEVM until the project grows large enough to stand on its own. Trim Bot touched upon a new token and expects to examine the topic further in the coming days:

… it’s own token… Tokenomics still TBD… benefits for $EOS token holders (airdrops?). More news soon.

Other news circulating around the ENF includes WordProofio and the EOS Recover+ site.

Greymass Unicove Update

When you’re in EOS long enough, you come to know Greymass as the quiet, productive type. Like the reassurance that an anchor provides a ship amidst rough seas, the wallet developer provides a strong foundation for the mainnet and ecosystem. Check out the latest unscheduled tweet of another potentially impact project, Unicove:

Unicove, the open source web wallet interface our team is building and one of our newest projects, was updated today to match the brand we have been hard at work on.

In the same tweet, Greymass clearly stated its objective:

Our development team continues to push a truly easy to use interface for #EOSIO! Unicove.com

EOS Coalition

How fast did the mainnet community come together once the ENF emerged? The community saw things like EOS PowerUp, Pomelo, EOS Support, and EOS Bees join the party. These new projects began producing from the start. The impact rippled across existing projects and new initiatives. With EOSIO+ Coalition, a new dawn more inline with EOS’ vision is just about complete. Get ready for take off! Read the April Report for more about the newly formed coalition and its $8 million annual fund. In addition to development concerns, the coalition has its sights on:

• Funding

• Governance

• Scalability

• And more

As Brandon Lovejoy put it:

This is what I imagined, from the genesis of $EOS. It's been a wild ride, but we're finally getting there! #EOSIO+ #ReadyToFormVoltron

Form.. blazing sword!

Yield+ Working Group

EOS working groups are not all about development. Take Yield+ for example. Here’s what EOS Nation CTO Denis Carriere had to say about the new working group:

"Yield+ has the goal to create economic incentives that bring more liquidity and yield earning opportunities on $EOS." …

Advising teams include:

• Defibox

• EOS Nation

• Greymass

• among others 

Yield+ will support both the TrustEVM  team and the mainnet. Rewards and will be denominated in EOS. Initially, EOS and Tether will be required to claim rewards. Tether acts to stabilize the EOS price. Listen to the Fireside chat (see video) for the full conversation on the planned Yield+ dynamic.

Chintai License

Among teams that wield great power is Chintai. News about a CMS license made it onto Yahoo Finance this past week. The Chintai team tweeted:

Chintai has received in-principle approval for the Capital Markets Services (CMS) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The Yahoo article describes Chintai’s potential within capital markets:

…the issuance of securities and units in a collective investment scheme (CIS).

Chintai is thought to complement the EOS ecosystem alongside power players like the ENF and B1. Though, attention should be given to the similar target market that B1 initially seeks: 

… offer security assets tokenisation to accredited and institutional investors upon fulfilling the requirements set forth by MAS.

The team is aggressively hiring and is working with The National University of Singapore Business School.

Updates: EOS Bees Ecosystem Grafic, Bywire App, Tipbit

Unlike traditional development ecosystems, EOS dApps aren’t easy to keep up with. Even in open source development, flow isn’t as dynamic. From administration and funding to developer networking, EOS dApps are so much more challenging and exciting. This is why the EOS dApp Ecosystem infographic that EOS Bees produced is such a big deal. Unsure about a new project or if it survived the B1 era? Quickly reference the diagram. Afterall, gracefully maintaining one’s train of thought is a big deal. EOS Bees called for community feedback and suggestions alongside posting the infographic. Visit Atomic Hub (EOS) for the dApp ecosystem as an NFT. Speaking about dApps, both Bywire and Tipbit are projects on the rise. Bywire has a new mobile app for news on the go (potentially with AI). Tipbit released a bit of an update related to its extensions, gaming applications and income generation.

Fractally: Evolving the Onboarding Process

Are you interested in what blockchain can do for governance? If so, you’ll want to know what recently took place in the fractally community. Join the Weekly Stand Up meetings to be part of the discussion and view new contributions. Check out Joshua Seymore’s tweet about fractal sovereignty and the need for DAOs in the new world. Joshua has gone above and beyond in his role to make fractally meetings happen. For those inviting new members, expect some recorded format to help the onboarding process soon. This will allow existing members more time to work on new contributions. As for the ties that bind Eden and fractally, check out the additions at Eden Creators.

Around EdenOnEOS

Last week there was some confusion over the recorded Mandel meetings. This week there’s two new recordings (#11 and #12) ready to view. Nice having these types of problems that one might associate with flourishing development. When it comes to the value of Fireside Chats, this week illustrates what it’s all about. The second group of Chief Delegates already conducted meeting #3. It’s the second disseminated on Odysee (above image is from a screen grab at 01:36). Also worth mentioning are MyvoteEOS interviews and fractally brainstorming sessions.

Do you trust EOS? It’s going to be hard to avoid that question now that the EVM Trust Network is here. No account needed to go private on EOS- What? ENF flies right by milestones while Pomelonians await their matching funds. What causes more turbulence, EOS+ETH, or the return of Voice and growth of Bullish. Ah heck, Let’s just talk fractally about EdenOnEOS. 

TOP HEADLINES

EOS EVM: A Trusted Network

In preparation this week, I nearly collected as many EVM links as all others. Bit of an exaggeration, but take it as the kind of impact EVM could have for EOS. EVM forces crypto masses to acknowledge EOS. I won’t go into how I was just triple charged by another ETH app (first rejecting my transaction, then requiring I pay again to ‘claim’ onto the app). Not surprising that Solidity doesn’t do microtransactions well. After all, it did follow a Bitcoin-type philosophy. In contrast, EOS was founded as a function, nimble chain. Maybe the best way to introduce the new EVM info is through bullet points:

• Watch video (above), read EOS Introduces EVM Support…(by ENF), follow @TrustEVM

• TrustEVM offers a highly scalable, secure, and reliable turn-key dapp solution on a fully ETH compatible chain

• Officially named the Trust Network

• Revolutionary nextgen DeFi/GameFi by streamlining Solidity 

• web2 latency for web3 Solidity developers

• Projects already integrating with TrustEVM (video)

• Nearly 400 people attended the launch event + AMA

• “It’s Here”- join telegram and/or discord for more

If you want an outsider's perspective, check out the article by CryptoSlate. In somewhat related news, Helios tweeted about an all-inclusive EOS EFT and the ENF about the return of CWC reports.

ZEOS: Next Level Privacy

Remember Monero? The standard for privacy coins rarely makes headlines these days. Probably a good thing for a private community. Thing is, the ZEOS team believes that it can do privacy better for:

…ALL assets on EOS…

Seems too good to be true... Consider though that this isn’t the first attempt at an EOS privacy coin. Remember pEOS? ZEOS examined those early concepts, weighed the pros and cons and is ready to help take the EOS mainnet to the next level. Imagine securing your privacy:

…without having to own an EOS account…

This becomes a reality when ZEOS is used to pay transaction fees. More details available on that last twitter link (see thread), like proxy accounts and navigating legal issues through the:

… 'user space' of EOS and not at the blockchain protocol level…

Here’s the telegram channel for those interested in joining the discussion. [Image adapted from the ZEOS Wallet tweet.]

Pomelo Donations Closed on April 23

Well, Pomelo Season 2 donations are finally closed. According to the ENF, the final tally is:

• 140 proposals

• $1,059,130 

• 1790 contributors

Of that more than one million USD, $100,000+ comes from contributor donations and $900,000+ from the matching pool. What really stands out is the nearly 1,800 contributors. Team Pomelo demonstrates consistent success and growth. From new NFTs, to adding website functionality and partnerships, Team Pomelo exhibits a steady hand on the control stick (yoke). Adding the second half of Port to boost Trust Bonus illustrates their commitment. If one were to look at the current horizon from the vantage point of season 1, we’d see how high Pomelo soars today- even given dome distance illusion. Pomelo has been that good. When weighing the achievements of the Pomelo team, remember to factor in the impacts upon the mainnet of all proposals.

ENF Milestones Achieved

Trust EVM wouldn’t be possible without the ENF. Neither would a lot of other fundamental mainnet technology. The team certainly warrants a unique measurement metric. Check out a bit of boasting in an ENF tweet:

We're only 3 weeks into Q2 and the #ENF has already achieved some of its Q2 milestones…

✅ Direct Grant Framework

✅ EVM Testnet Deployment

Notice in the ‘What’s Ahead’ graphic (above) that the ENF plans through Pomelo Season 4. No, I didn’t make a mistake in the previous post listing the closing of Pomelo’s second season. Maybe the mainnet should consider judging the success of ENF by its leadership and planning as well as deliverables. Maybe the community should reconsider its expectation now that we’re flying with Class A leadership. BTW, the other part of that tweet goes:

We're like the #EOS postal service... always pushing the envelope and always delivering! 📬

Maybe you’re not an aviator and don’t fully grasp “pushing the envelope”… there’s a lot of ways to look at that flight terminology; and I know a trek’n samurai wouldn’t always want to pack for a jumbo jet. That last part:

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift…

Well, even if Cliff Claven is in the room, and you're not a child on a snow day, RESPECT is deserved- across the board.

Voice NFTs on EOS

How does one follow up an ENF story with one about the B1 company? For starters, B1 maintained that EOS would remain in its long term plans. Mainnet community members harbored feelings of skepticism and distrust. The mood may change following Voice CEO Salah Zalatimo’s recent announcement:

Voice NFTs can now be wrapped on #EOS for self-custody in @greymass's Anchor wallet and EOS-to-EOS trading on @AtomicHub. Multichain is finally a reality.

In layman terms:

That means: 🔗 Ability to send #VoiceNFTs to your Anchor wallet (@greymass) on EOS + sell on @AtomicHub

(royalties go with 🤝)

That last part, “royalties go with” seems interesting. Is Voice using AtomicHub in a new way? Maybe it was worth the wait. Bywire News went into more detail mentioning that EOS is not Voice’s only option:

… export NFTs from Voice to EOS, Polygon, Solana and other…

That seems about right. Guess it’s a wait and see as for what Voice (built on EOSIO) means for the mainnet. In other B1 news, Bullish announced the listing of Chainlink and Litecoin. 

Let’s Talk fractally

Fractally is the newest among mainnet tech. What might seem low key and progressing slowly, I assure you, as a regular attendee of weekly meetings, isn’t. By comparison to other tech in development, fractally is an F1 race car. If you’re into governance and joining in on development conversations, you’re encouraged to join now. Otherwise, you can join as fractally becomes more easily accessible. What is fractally? Know that the team rebranded from ClarionOS and that the platform is multidimensional. Fractally improves the communication standard and rewards RESPECT tokens based on fair community consensus. In addition to weekly Standup Meetings, here are a few recent posts and events for non-attending members to gauge where the community stands now:

• ƒractally Teams

• Empowering Eden Contributors

• ƒractally Brainstorming Sessions - MindMap Collaboration

BTW, the image was adopted from Fractally Genesis telegram.

Around EdenOnEOS

View the Chief Delegate Meeting #2 on Odysee. Eden and fractaly, while symbiotic, are not synonymous. Eden’s mandate is to govern the mainnet. That’s why there’s an enduring grilling process in selecting Chief Delegates. For more laid back, small (fractal) teams, fractally is your answer. While the new set of CDs settle in, you may wish to monitor EdenOnEOS YT channel for future meetings. As of today, only the first meeting is posted there. CDs met out of the gate, so maybe they’ve chosen Odysee as the new dissemination medium for future meetings. Also, last week Eden Members Recaps were delayed. There's a lot to catch up on. April 18 recap is where we left off. Election week sure was something. Good thing Jesse Jaffe is helping CDs with communications and Dan Sinjoy plans to empower Eden creators. Bugs even at Mandel meetings with last week’s tweet including a link to #8, not the listed #9 (this link goes directly to YT). Here's the link to Mandel meeting X (recorded on April 13). For those less-technically inclined or wanting a laid back way to interact with the mainnet community, join the weekly Fireside Chat. While I tab both fractally and Fireside Chats as ‘laid back’, know that fractally is action oriented. It’s the innovative team dynamic and overall fractal design that enables fractally to execute so nimbly.

In Eden years the mainnet just turned two. There’s a coalition abouts, and it’s going to blow out EOSIO just as EVM+ hits the blockchain metaverse. Steadily cruising along, dishing out world class stuff, that’s the Mandel team and ENF solidly Anchored.

EdenOnEOS Election Results (April 9, 2022)

Another election in the books. Just kidding, EdenOnEOS is just getting started. Still, there’s something to all which transpired under the first Chief Delegates’ leadership. The mainnet also owes much to ENF for sure. EOS community as a whole delivered truly superior blockchain development. The future looks even brighter as nearly 100 members took part in the second election. Departing Head Chief Delegate Aaron Cox leaves big shoes to fill. The new board includes:

• New Head Chief Delegate Edgar Fernandez is co-founder of EOS Costa Rica, one of the most influential producers on the mainnet. 

• Brock Pierce brings primetime spotlight, a trusted reputation, and so much more. 

• Gracie Lau is Co-founder of JBB.ONE and recently led an EdenCN trial. 

• Chuck MacDonald is a staple of the community focused on a Eden Election initiative. 

• Fresh crypto blood comes in the form of ByWire News founder Michael O’Sullivan . 

If you’re a member, you can check out the complete election results on edeneos.org. Watch the first Chief Delegate meeting or the full stream of the breakout room on EdenOnEOS YT.

Testing EOS EVM+

Talk about powerful change, EVM+ might prove to be that final hurdle taking EOS to the masses. Yves La Rose was spotted by palmar.tez predicting EVM audits by the end of April. Lookout for the EOS EVM launch event on April 19 at 13:00 UTC. Does this mean EVM will be ready for all EOS dapps on the 19th? Not likely. There’s a schedule of things that must transpire in succession, including those audits. A lot will be uncovered at the launch party. Why is EVM such a big deal? Well, there’s the tendency for favorable price swings upon implementation. And then there’s what the ENF tweeted:

…Your public key will also be able to be used on native #EOS using MetaMask w/ the same web3 provider, so no need to switch endpoints between chains. …

Read the ENF’s January post about what’s in store for the mainnet once EVM+ goes active. It’s about building on success and attracting developer talent. Here’s a recent article about the EVM+ testnet. There you’ll find:

…EOS EVM launch event, …detailed information regarding the future … EVM and its technological advantages …DeFi and GameFi, ecosystem development timeline, …and much more.

ENF 2022 Q1 Report

Professionalism and responsibility has been at the heart of the EOS Network Foundation from its inception. Voluntarily holding itself to high standards is a testament to the core team that’s more than doubled in recent weeks. ENF 2022 first quarter report reads a bit like a storybook of accomplishments. Shining brightest are those blue papers. The first of them were only recently published. Through blue papers and associated working groups, the entire mainnet is being reshaped with as bright an outlook as ever. The ENF also began funding new projects. New ENF initiatives support the ecosystem alongside Pomelo’s public goods. The most notable is that of ENF massive matching funds for Pomelo Season 2. ENF gives preference to projects that maintain a public good focus. Read an abbreviated version of the Q1 report at the ENF blog or in full here. Also note that the charismatic leader of the ENF, Big Beard Samurai, continues to champion for EOS; catch his latest escapade on Chain Catcher Twitter Space.

EOS Nation Now a Telos BP, April WAX Report

EOS, WAX, and now, Telos, EOS Nation holds together the core fabric of the mainnet and greater ecosystem. If you’re new to the ecosystem, your perceptions about blockchain have probably been altered. EOSIO tech is fast, functional, economical, and relatively easy for developers. Sure, as the ENF pointed out, EOS doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of Ethereum when it comes to developer kits. What it does offer nets to something far superior, that is a blockchain experience which more closely resembles traditional apps. All the while Telos, and other EOS sister chains, broaden what account holders can own. EOS Nation joining Telos (Nation.tlos) represents the next stage in the young blockchain’s maturity. Collaboration has already begun through the EOSIO+ working group. Hard to deny that the mainnet owes much of its success to EOS Nation, a top EOS BP. Read about what the team also does for WAX in monthly reports. The April report goes into stuff like:

… we’ve completed our WAX Cloud Wallet & Shopify integration which will allow our collectors to purchase NFTs directly from well-known payment processors such as: credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay.

Only good things for Telos on the horizon.

Anchor Update

Just a quick update here letting the community know that:

Anchor Desktop version 1.3.4 released today, a combination of fixes and improvements primarily focused on account creation.

Download at greymass.com. A number of improvements are still needed before the mainnet sees the kind of account creation suitable for mass adoption. In the interim, Team Anchor created a link to help ease onboarding. In case you weren’t aware, there’s a Season 2 Pomelo grant to aid in Anchor development. Anyone interested in the long term health of the mainnet and greater ecosystem should take note, if not seek to contribute.

EOSIO Coalition

The ENF is certainly holding to its mandate of elevating EOS’ game. Sure there’s been all the planning and early development. That was sort of expected though; not, not to be appreciated. Just that, the ENF found early support because the mainnet community believed it would deliver where B1 failed. Elevating the mainnet became clearer in recent weeks with growing media attention. Now an EOSIO Coalition officially enters the mix. Consider the amount of popularity Ethereum garners from its alleyways. Probably more than it should. In contrast, the EOS mainnet takes a lot more blame than deserved. The status quo is radically shifting as:

Four EOSIO protocol-based blockchains: EOS, Telos, WAX and UX Network have combined …resources …This coalition has committed a combined $8 million annual budget for core development and developer outreach in 2022.

Read more at the ENF blog:

Development is set to begin immediately with priorities … defined in the four “Blue Papers”... more than seventy-five proposals to enhance the protocol. Coalition members will determine the exact priority proposals to fund and will provide… development roadmap for the first time in the history of the protocol.

Around EdenOnEOS

Results of the Second Eden election were discussed above. These are exciting times in the EOS mainnet. See the video of the first meeting of our second group of Chief Delegates for what’s in store for the mainnet. You’re encouraged to visit Eden and Eden Members Telegram chats for insight into the minds of the new board. There’s also a poll circulating for Edem Member to choose a meeting date and time to: 

… gather in small groups via Zoom Breakout Rooms to decide what we believe are the next logical steps to achieve to move Eden forward and work together to ultimately include those deliverables in a properly formatted grant proposal to the ENF…

The weekly Member’s Recap channel was delayed until Monday. Note that there’s a plan to expand recapped info. EOS plays on a much larger field than it did a few short months ago. That’s why we find the ENF going along with it’s mainnet business as usual in holding the Wednesday Fireside Chat, as did the Mandel team with meeting #9. Don’t forget about fractally just because we took a week off to hold some election.

Eden, Fractally, ENF, Pomelo… Community, Action, Funding, Productivity… These attributes are ingrained in EOS; these projects make EOS live again. Eden flexed its muscles pushing Fractally aside- for the moment. Pomelo’s star shines brighter. ENF refines course direction as its wake swells. Finney holds an Easter Contest.

EdenOnEOS Election #2

Following the resounding success of the first EdenOnEOS election, the second group of Chief Delegates have their sights on reestablishing EOS as a premiere blockchain. The Treasury was stocked with 200k EOS. As the EDEN on EOS twitter handle said:

It's no joke… …What are you waiting for?!

Proposed bylaw (Google doc) for Eden’s second batch of CDs to ratify. Specifics were discussed by Dan Larimer about a month ago. Proposed changes include: 

• overall community size as well as group-round size

• establishing regularly scheduled elections

• adjusting the Head Chief Delegate funding allotment

• Requiring 3 EOS for new members and a few other things

BTW, if you visit Dan Larimer’s Twitter profile, notice the date on the pinned post. Eden's second official election logged just 5 days following the second anniversary of the More Equal Animals post. WOW! Things certainly happen fast on EOS.

ENF Establishes a New Funding Paradigm

In support of its mandate, the ENF announced the commencement of the EOS Network Foundation Grant Framework. Grants are central to the foundation’s mission of empowering developers. It’s been doing just that by funding Blue Paper working groups. Now that core mainnet need areas have been addressed, the new framework can lead development into a “new era”. Funding is available for both profit focus ventures and those building public goods; though, favor is granted the latter. New grants are: 

…open to individuals, small teams, and companies alike, with grants scaled to fit the scope of each initiative. All forms of projects are encouraged to apply for grants however preference will be given to those with strong technical projects that clearly add to the public good.

ENF incorporates efficient and transparent milestones. In these ways the ENF Grant Framework compliments Polemo’s public goods funding. Read more at ENF Grant Framework: A New Era of Development on EOS or on github. 

ENF Ventures Making Waves

‘EOS is Back!’ That’s the theme of the April 4 Venture Beat article entitled, EOS Network Foundation battles on the frontlines of the blockchain revolution.  Unfortunately, at the time of this writing the article was removed for an unspecified reason. Try reading at the WayBack Machine archive (tip: scroll down). Venture Beat tweeted the article at 1 pm. The ENF quoted:

"The foundation that was formed by the community for the sole purpose of reviving #EOS… expanding $EOS’ strategic partnerships with new investors, devs, businesses and users."

EOS Nation quoted:

"It’s an exciting and inspiring tale about conviction winning over greed… EOS’s history is nothing short of a Hollywood masterpiece."

Head of ENF, Yves La Rose, also made news scheduling a Finance Mars Twitter Space on April 8 (the day before the second EdenOnEOS election). BTW, EOS also made NASDAQ news.

ENF + Object Computing: Great Expectations

The ENF / Object Computing partnership from last week continues to make waves. Everything EOS published a clip digging deepering into what the partnership means. Object Computing proudly boasted how it’s been a part of making EOSIO what it is today. Mathew Darwin confirmed this in a discussion saying:

“OCI has built a lot of the blockchain tech stack that we use today.”

Later in the same clip, Zack Gall’s discussed the importance of how this is a scalable partnership:

“OCI can scale with us, they’re a team of over 200 engineers. As our needs & demands scale, …OCI can step right in.”

Seemingly very quickly, the ENF, with support from Pomelo and other new ventures, felt strong enough to replace B1. That is, not just the trivial contributions B1 made at the end (leading up to Bullish and Voice), but all that Block.One was meant to be. Now throw in Object Computing, and that circulating superhero meme really does tell a tale.

Unsung Heros Spotlight: Call for Fractally Hindi Translation

It’s human nature to let things die off. While we may not run ‘as a people’ any more, having access to a car is a necessary reality for many. Our feeding grounds (grocery stores) miles away, a distance few travel on foot on any given day. Enter Fractally! I took part for the third time last week. Attendance makes a big difference. Weekly Standup Meeting are like taking live pitching opposed to watching from the bleachers. For example, within my group was an individual calling for a Hindi Translation of the Fractally Whitepaper. He took the time to navigate through the Fractally white paper and present a more readable web version for the Hindi target market. I found his initiative quite valuable. It should help reach a new market and boost Fractally as well as blockchain tech overall. Visit gokulnk on hive.blog, Hindi Translation of the Fractally Whitepaper. His more readable web version can be found here.

Fractally Weekly Meeting Gives Way to Eden Election

Joshua Seymore announced the cancellation of last Saturday’s Fractally meeting. If you’re not a member yet, you’re encouraged to join. Stay up to date with Fractally telegram chat and news. Other participants in my Fractally group this past week included the person behind NovaCrypto. He’s as active as anyone among EOS Telegram insiders. A diehard with his workshops, NovaCrypto continues to evolve content. Mind maps are among my favorite investigative tools. Often a pricey database that few have access to online, NovaCrypto’s MindWeb makes it easy to get up to speed. Community members are encouraged to contribute (i.e. through video rants).

Around EdenOnEOS: ELECTION TIME!

In case you missed it, the SECOND EDEN ELECTION happened on April 9. Remember, new bylaws will be there for second gen Chief Delegates. There’s also a wealth of new funding. Both were already mentioned in the lead post. Mainnet development continues to move quickly. Though, dedicated Eden teams like those on Eden Members Telegram focused on preparation. While Eden news was relatively slow, take solace in the final CD meeting (see video), weekly Fireside Chat, and Mandel meeting #8. If you’re a member, you’ll probably want to check out the Member’s Recap channel. BTW, the recap team’s Pomelo grant was approved.

Meta Community: EASTER CONTEST

Looking for a fun way to get involved with the EOS community and sister chains? Join Meta Collect Discord (gen-chat) for things like Finney trivia, engagement rewards, games, and giveaways. There’s Finney Coins (and more) at stake, like this week’s EASTER CONTEST:

Developer Commitment, Loyalty, and Follow Through

The Dawn of EOS was exciting. Block.One centralized development and in turn stifled mainnet growth? B1 seems long gone. Helios and co-founder Brock Pierce remain in its wake. The ENF takes over much of B1’s early responsibilities. Commitment and loyalty is unquestioned in Big Beard Samurai:

…make this your profile pic until EOS hits $10 like @brockpierce?

That’s where we are now heading into the second EdenOnEOS election on April 9. In development news:

• ENF partnered with Object Computing to advance Blue Paper initiatives

• ENF coordinates timeframes to work better together *

Note that the Object Computing team tweeted about its belief that EOS smart contracts can stand apart as the world’s best. *Coordinating short-term plans does NOT mean the ENF is willing to sacrifice long-term plans of needed product releases. Still, the mainnet gets to show its networking power:

“There Is A Superhero In All Of Us, We Just Need The Courage To Put On The Cape.”

Few so powerful and valiant indeed. Mainnet just topped 5 million accounts too.

More About ENF / Object Computing Partnership

OCI is a modern consulting company whose technology team offers a comprehensive set of skills ranging from machine learning to blockchain with technology partners including technology giants, such as Google, Intel, and AWS.

The above was taken from EOS Network Foundation Enlists OCI To Implement Transaction Lifecycle Features on EOS. OCI’s Principle Blockchain Engineer pointed out:

“OCI has been contributing to the development of EOSIO since the very beginning; …”

In regards to advancing the Transaction Lifecycle, the partnership tackles the critical user experience of knowing if a transaction will succeed:

As such an ubiquitous part of the EOSIO experience, these enhancements should be applied directly to the core API software and made available via a software upgrade (no forking required) for all operators.

Visit the ENF blog post for an outline of some challenges and solutions specific to the new OCI partnership.

ETP for EOS

EOS now has its own exchange traded product. That is, a security that tracks financial instruments (i.e. other securities or indexes). It expands the market without private keys. Iconic is the team behind “the world’s first physically backed EOS ETP”. As Nova Crypto explained:

This benefits every community by the creation of an $EOS liquidity off-ramp… collateralized by coins held in a regulated, institutional-grade custody solution…

From the Iconic press release:

“Iconic’s vision is to embrace investors accessing the crypto market through our traditional investment vehicles…” … The physically backed ETP offers investors access to EOS through a liquid, regulated vehicle without the technical challenges of setting up private keys or crypto wallets. They are 100% collateralized by coins held…

Get EOS on more tongues and something special is likely to happen.

Feedback Submission

The ENF approved 17 submissions of community feedback on the Blue Papers. The approved feedbacks each met the minimum criteria and qualified for EOS bounties. The objective is to find areas for enhancement as well as alternative solutions. Feedback was reviewed by the respective working groups that authored the Blue Papers. Those approved not only get EOS rewards, but are also added to the Blue Papers’ “Community Edition”. What a way to involve more of the mainnet community. 

Pomelo Pitches

Speaking about the networking power of the EOS mainnet and the capacity to deliver on what’s good for the community. Pomelo Grants specifically target public goods. As of this week there were nearly 100 grants submitted with more than 50 already approved and less than 10 denied. 22 proposals return from last season. Here’s a few of the more recognized projects:

• Anchor - team expansion and support for all device platforms

• EOS Support - ongoing platform development and community collaboration

• EOSIO Dashboard -  BP API nodes checks, testnet faucet for testnets, and community engagement

Visit Pomelo for more about public goods and how the community stands to benefit from other projects like Immutable Realms: EOS Arts and Culture zine! Or maybe you seek deeper insight via Pomelo Pitch Deck.

Greymass Update

Coinciding with Anchor’s Season 2 Pomelo pitch, team Greymass let known a bit about its operational status:

With a relatively small operations team… it's going to be a slow process to release and document... but it'll be worth it in the end.

Good to know that Anchor is using Pomelo to expand. Greymass specifically called attention to the following:

• Make more services available

• Welcomed external contributions

• Run internal processes, custom history, and ancillary services as containers

• Ease downloads

Remember, Anchor sails as Greymass’ flagship while:

being a completely free and open source product

BP rewards are not enough to run the EOS mainnet at its relative Formula 1 industry performance level. As cost-effective as EOSIO tech is, additional public goods funding must be emphasized. Lacking appropriate, consistent development funding is part of the reason why EOS didn’t maintain its early pace as a top 5 blockchain. Furthermore, making up ground takes more of an effort.

Helios Goes Live with BP, Brock Converts… Others

As of right now, our Helios BP, which is privately funded, is up and running. Our intention remains; to add stability and value to the ecosystem, and especially to continue supporting our most valued public goods.

That’s an onpoint message from The Helios BP - What does it do for EOS? View the registered new block producer API node here. Helios is actively looking for how best to contribute to the ecosystem. The team identified EOS PowerUP as a way to “add immediate value to the network”. Recall this week’s first entry. Would you say our resident Bearded Superhero has company in his commitment to the mainnet alongside the Mighty Brock:

What else is there to say? Well, Trim Bot pointed out that Brock isn’t just all in on EOS, he’s also integral to building the ecosystem:

Brock isn't just buying $EOS and hoping for the best, he's building on EOS.

Fractally Standup Meetings

Join the weekly stand up meetings. Show your contributions to grow the network of the next gen DAO. Head over to the Telegram chat to find out how to become an alpha tester or just learn more about what it means to be fractally. No blockchain application may ever have this much widespread, multi-chain/-platform implications. Existing members may wish to view the latest Genesis Rank & Respect (March 26). Maybe it’s too early to tout the tech in this way, but the goal of bringing fractal democracy to the world is real and there’s a dedicated team behind it. Are you ready?

Eden Election Scheduled for April 9

A lot has happened since the first official EdenOnEOS election. How much more will we achieve as bugs get worked out and new innovations emerge. Consider the new bylaws proposal and as discussed by Dan Larimer during Chief Delegate meeting #22. Hoping for a record turn out at Eden 2. Members may wish to view the Fireside Chat, Mandel meeting #7, CD meeting #23, and engage in Telegram to prepare for the second election on April 9. Aspiring members can start engaging here and learn more on EdenOnEOS.

Pomelo Season 2: Living Up to Expectations

Grant proposals are now being accepted on Pomelo. Daniel Keys went on Everything EOS to discuss what’s new for Season 2. Here’s part of his opening statement describing the EOSIO crowdfunding platform:

Democratically allocated public funds to public goods based on basically the wisdom of the crowd.

Anyone who has an idea for a public good can submit a grant application. Here he describes Season 2’s new trust bonus feature:

By increasing your trust bonus, whenever you make a donation our quadratic formula basically just treats you as if you donated more than you actually did.

Eden members do not currently enjoy a Pomelo trust bonus. That may change as Eden matures. Daniel discussed other topics like future bounties to ease the workflow. Exciting proposals out of the gate include: 

• EOSQuest.io - complete quest and earn reward

• EOS PowerUp - (advancing plans for season 2)

The EOS PowerUp team would like to move away from a centralized service to a community owned DAO. EOS Quest’s mandate is twofold. Make it easy to create and complete quests. Ease the learning curve for new EOS users. 

China’s Blockchain-based Service Network Eyes EOS

Let’s get this out of the way:

• When it comes to cryptoChina, there’s a lot of controversy over open networks.

So why is EOS consistently ranked high on some eastern rankings? Well, there’s those stubborn eastern block producers holding tightly to short-term profits. Another factor is EOS practical use cases. Western developers (and users) may begin flocking to EOS alongside new development tools like EVM+. For now the headline is China’s Blockchain-based Service Network. According to forkfast, this service:

…allows NFT issuance in China without involving cryptocurrency transactions.

BSN is a permissioned (i.e. limited participation) blockchain, so it’s not ideal for a community focused on open source public goods like Pomelo, but it does offer mainnet recognition. Also note the success of the first Eden CN (China) trial election. There are a lot of reasons to choose EOS. Being able to meet the requirements of a Chinese government that’s often openly hostile to Bitcoin (and other open source tech) is another reason to be optimistic. Keep in mind that Chinese regulators have submitted to the need for a blockchain-based future. Also noteworthy is that even free enterprise networks have been cautious to adopt the more open development of blockchain.

Defibox Annual Report

Defibox remains a core component of the EOS ecosystem. WAX integration stands out in recent weeks. The release of Defibox's annual report also serves as a sort of litmus test for the mainnet. This year's swap trade volume totalled just under 15 million EOS. BOX token holders will also be glad to hear about a new airdrop. However, the year's biggest news from the Defibox team is Gamebox. That means defi for NFTs, MMOs, gaming consoles, and creativity in general. Online gaming without blockchain was already an industry worth billions of dollars and growing. Imagine the magniture of an even greater (metaverse) explosion.

EOS Account Recovery via Eden

If you've been an active member of the mainnet community you may remember a dynamic proposal for account recovery. The concept was simple, something like allocating backup permissions to multiple family members or close friends for the purpose of reinstating one's account. It’s made possible through Eden. Chris Barnes led us in thanking Dan Larimer and his Fractally team for making account recovery a reality. For details on how the process works, check out this Notion post. The first step is to reach out to a Chief Delegate. The process is live in preparation for the second Eden election on April 9th.

Aaron Cox on Wallet+

When it comes to wallets on EOS, Anchor is the thing. It's arguably the most trusted, dependable, and thoughtful application on the mainnet. And it's lead developer? Well, he's also the first Head Chief Delegate of EdenOnEOS. Makes sense that Aaron Cox is also a director of sorts for the Wallet+ working group. Here's some choice words he let fly (see video above):

They have the tools they need on these other ecosystems just handed to them and they can just focus on the app. We need to get to that point with EOSIO. [00:16]…the first full SDK will be focused on web technologies [01:36]

Aaron noted that focusing on the web invariably transfers to other development areas like mobile, metaverse, or any emerging web-based demands. According to the ENF, Wallet+ establishes easily accessible and organized software development tools that support programming languages for all major platforms. Included in its suite are:

• EOSIO Starter Kit

• Client Library + Plugins

• Core Library + Extensions

Fractally Taking Shape

In case you missed it, Helios interviewed Dan Larimer about Fractally. As with any revolutionary technology, it takes some understanding. The interview (overviewed last week) is a good place to start. You may also wish to check out what NovaCrypto has going on with Collaborative Circles and a Mind Web specific to Fractally. Fractally is about positive impacts. NovaCrypto got off running as strong as anyone in providing public goods (see video above). With Dan handing over the hosting sessions to Joshua Seymour, another dedicated superstar, the community can expect 30 minute orientation meetings for new members.  Also note that the domain was shortened to gofractally.com in preparation for the community site.

Around EdenOnEOS

Edenia (EOS Costa Rica) caught the attention of the community in recent weeks. The team really is in accord with what the mainnet is building. Compare how its open source developer learning portal coincides with Wallet+ (discussed in an above section). Helios put its Spotlight on the UX Network bridge as an IBC (inter-blockchain communication) solution. ZEOS is still developing quietly in the background. Take a sneak peak at the privacy focused wallet. Eden Clips #21 is especially interesting as Dan joined the CDs to discuss fractal governance. Remember, in addition Chief Delegate meetings (#22), there’s a weekly Fireside Chat, Mandel meeting (#6), and Eden Members recap. There’s more, like a GenPool Spotlight and EOS Bees second Rants competition. BTW, have you noticed that TrimBot provides a lot of timely information like B1 talent joining the ENF. Lastly (certainly not least), Samurai’s Big Beard rants on…

Wallet+ BluePaper

No one argued the community’s choice in its first EdenOnEOS Head Chief Delegate Aaron Cox. Sure, he’s among the most personable and engaging developers within the ecosystem. What really stands out is his leadership developing Anchor, the community’s most trusted wallet. Crypto wallets hold definite valued. Hense the importance of the recently released blue paper for the Wallet+ working group. Key to helping EOS reach that next level is connecting with users. The following areas were identified for development:

• Broad functionality

• SDKs

• Application registry

• Ricardian Contracts

Additionally, features that catch the eyes of everyday users are at the heart of Wallet+. For example:

• Hardware wallet integration

• Account recovery

• Web Authen

• Profile and Avatar System

These and other topics can be found within the Wallet+ Blue Paper available for download in English, Korean, and Chinese at the ENF Medium blog.

Dan Discusses Fractally with Helios

Dan does so many interviews one might think he’s a Hollywood guy like that Helios guy. Or maybe an aspiring spotlight MC like so many in crypto. Maintaining a developer’s persona while conducting trending interviews based on months (even years) old tech- that’s not Dan Larimer. Ever heard of ClarionOS, EdenOS, Mandel- your task, find the release dates on these projects. Anyway, Dan’s latest interview is about even newer tech: fractally. In an interview this week, Helios’ Gavriel Shaw emphasized Dan’s words about Fractally’s universal design:

Absolutely… Fractally can completely eliminate the capture by exchanges or by Proof of Work or by any creator distributed wealth. [source]

Here’s Dan on why Fractally is needed:

…all users, all token holders benefit from that action and should be recognized as such… the challenge is how do you recognize these contributions in a way that is credibly fair… and that’s the problem that Fractally solves. [00:03:46]

On participation:

Anyone can form a team…willing to attend multiple meetings… can even submit the same article… to multiple fractals… it’s all on IPFS, it’s all transparent… in order to participate in the governance process you have to do so at least once a month…so that’s the first thing, you’re inviting people to participate…to have a say in your community… [1:07:05]

Pumping EOS: EVM+

The ENF announced the EVM+ working group in January. Before that, B1 challenged the community to code in Solidity. An EOS EVM becomes even more significant with Fractally and EdenOS taking shape. Fractally can be used for platform agnostic consensus. EdenOS plans to become a governance protocol that other blockchains can adopt. EVM+ could provide support by bridging EOSIO/Mandel sister chain applications. Rumor has it that an EOS EVM is just weeks away. The degree of its alpha application remains to be seen. Beyond the excitement of leveraging new tools and expanding user networks is the tendency for prices to explode upon EVM deployment. A final word this week from the ENF goes beyond public goods in support for EVM-based apps like:

• Wallet

• DEX

• Launchpad

More Goodies From Edenia Web3 Builders

The mainnet community is probably more familiar with EOS Costa Rica than with Edenia. That’s because the Edenia team focuses on EOS and develops on sister chains like WAX. Through EOS Costa Rica, the team deployed powerful dapps like:

🔹EOS Rate

🔹EOS Dashboard

🔹Evodex

Edenia develops infrastructure for Web 3.0. Of course, this means a blockchain-based solution. However, as more developers are realizing, getting Web3 off the ground is as much about integrating applications that showcase the potential of blockchain and crypto. It’s as much about innovative brilliance as it is about understanding what users, regulators, and traditionalists are ready to accept. Team Edenia seems to understand these factors better than most in the blockchain space. Thankfully, as the EOS mainnet grows to incorporate EVM+, EdenOS, and Fractally, there’ll be dedicated Web3 tools at the ready. For a complete list of Edenia tools for EOS, visit the website and join the team’s Discord.

Pomelo Update: PowerUp Another $125k

Pomelo’s second season hasn’t even started and already $1 million dollars is up for grabs. The seven figure mark was surpassed when the EOS Network Foundation made its latest contribution (as reported by Bywire). Remember, NFT sales and seasonal donation have yet to be tabulated. Through the amazing allocation of quadratic funding, the projects most highly valued by the community get funded to the greatest degree. Find out more about Pomelo or dig deeper into the Grants Policy Wiki. For a detailed overview of the benefits and workings of quadratic funding, visit the Gitcoin (WTF is QF) project which Pomelo was modeled after.   

Fractally: Weekly Standup Meetings

Fractally weekly standup meetings test the technology’s current operational dynamics. The process, as well as membership, is open for anyone with a Hive account to join. Read the white paper at fractally.com. Gregory Wexler posted an updated outline for weekly preparation:

• Sign the Fractally Contributor Agreement (FCA) as posted by Dan on Hive less than 24 hrs prior to this week’s newsletter posting

• A change from last week is the move toward Hive accounts for participation since EOS accounts cannot sign the FCA

• Participants are asked to change Zoom display names to match Hive accounts

• Rank and RESPECT will be available via a Fractally post

• Check the current meeting’s Agenda and Process document

So far there have been 3 meetings. I participated last week. You can join here. Fractally is about providing actionable consensus for any blockchain, or as Dan said during an interview this week:

...by any creator distributed wealth.

Around EdenOnEOS

In addition to the ENF increasing matching funds for Pomelo, the foundation will match an additional 1000 EOS for Eden China’s trial election. That brings the possible total for EdenCN to 25,000 EOS. Follow up with EOS Bees for the latest on the Rants competition. You’ll find mindmaps for EOS Rants and Fractally among the Bees’ links. When Head Chief Delegate Aaron Cox runs quiet for a few weeks, it probably means he’s got something brewing. So when Everything EOS revived the iconic podcast with a focus on Wallet+, guess who joined. Holding heading and horizon, this week saw regularly scheduled Chief Delegates meeting #22, Wendsdays’ Fireside Chat, EOS Mandel meeting #5, and Helios’ weekly top 5 EOS moments.

Edenia and Web3

What is Web3? If the internet got off the ground with email and came into it’s own with media applications (e.g. smartphone videos), Web3 must be something special. Indeed, what blockchain technology has to offer the world can transform how we live. Edenia backs EOS Costa Rica, among the most respected developers within the ecosystem. It’s mission:

Let’s build a more efficient and reliable web3.

Introduced just last week, it’s already working with the Proton blockchain. For more information check out Edenia Discord. To stay current with the team's latest development, follow @EdeniaWeb3. 

Pomelo Season 2: Improvements and Stuff

Excusable only if you’ve been under a kimberlite, are you aware that Pomelo crowdfunding on EOS kicks off season 2 in a couple of weeks? By the way, ‘kimberlite’ is among the new NFTs whose sales will contribute to the matching pool. Daniel Keyes gave an overview of some new stuff during this week's fireside chat. He discussed improvements for:

• Social logins

• Sharing

• The approval process

In addition, Daniel introduced Trust Bonuses, and the opt-in feature for proposal continuation across seasons. If you like to know more about Pomelo NFTs, visit the EOS Nation blog post Pomelo NFT Series – Season 2. The opening dates are March 22 for applications and March 30 for donations.

Introducing the Fractally News Channel

It’d be an understatement to say that Fractally hit the ground running- more like the community has the Moon in its sights. Over the past couple of weeks, Fractally held its first couple of meetings. In this short time, the technology demonstrated substantial improvement over what EdenOS used for past elections. The new Fractally news channel further illustrates excitement around the fast growing community. Note that while EdenOS will eventually extend to applications beyond EOS governance, Fractally takes off as blockchain agnostic from the start. Everyone who wishes to know more and contribute is welcomed to join the Weekly Standup Meetings.

Eden Capital Blue Paper Feedback

A couple of weeks ago the EOS Network Foundation announced a community feedback initiative for the working group blue papers. Qualifying entries can earn anywhere from 100 to 2000 EOS. Eden Capital stands out this week. The team proposed three ideas:

• Feedback 01: A new EOS model to encourage long-term staking

• Feedback 02: Correlate BP reward to EOS price with a curve function

• Feedback 03: Set 2%+ inflation for EOS voting rewards & one EOS one vote

The first, encourages long-term staking and targets strengthening the “ecological development” of the mainnet by making it more reasonable for new block producers to enter the top 21. The second tackles the disparity between the linear 1% inflation rate rewarded to BPs. This proposed solution determines:

In order to enhance the overall ecosystem value, the reward of BPs should be a curve relationship with the EOS price.

The title of the third feedback proposal speaks volumes as it revives the idea of ‘one EOS, one vote’ through the addition of 2+% inflation. Also note that Jess Jaffe (of EOS Bees) published a feedback proposal: An Onboarding and Referral System for EOS.

EOS Second Quarter Boost from Bullish Public Launch?

OK, so hold your horse. Yes, B1 has fallen out of favor (to put it mildly) with the mainnet community. And yes, the ENF has a legal action against B1. Does this mean that B1 will let all its EOS holdings rot? Or will Bullish cater to opportunism (maybe even greed) toward greater valuation? Bloomberg is as mainstream as it gets. While the article merely mentions EOS among Bullish’s basket of currency, there’s still a lot to be hopeful about. B1 is intimate with EOSIO. It used the tech to build Bullish. The team recognizes the potential of low cost, fast transaction speeds alongside a U.S. regulator recognized cryptocurrency. If nothing else, it demonstrates the type of PR deserving of a once top 5 crypto.

LIVE (Real Person) Support

One’s introduction to blockchain technology can be challenging in many ways. EOS and EOSIO sister chains offer real applications that are relatively easy to use. Still, sometimes having someone by your side to help you get over even mere perceptual challenges can be a godsend. This is one of the reasons why EOS Support was created. In the team’s latest post, How to get EOS support from a real person, the reader is introduced to the team’s mission. Getting started links are on this post as well. While still rather new, there’s already some good information for those starting their EOS journey, as well as a one-stop resource. Also, check out what Bywire News presented this week as ‘must have’ EOS dapps.

EdenOnEOS Chatter

Wow! We have come a long way. This is the fractally realization as the second EdenOnEOS election approaches and Pomelo Season 2 gets underway. Imagine, if a single election can lead and inspire all that’s transpired over a few short months, what a second election running on fractally tech might yield. Macroscopic vision… yes, the ENF demonstrates that by introducing International EOS News:

• Part 1

• Part 2

The above excerpts are from Everything EOS Weekly Report. (Note: the veteran team’s report has been included in past weeks COMMUNITY CHATTER sections.) The ENF head samurai fielded ideas for Fractally during a recent fireside chat. Have you liked the weekly rants? Here’s your chance to record one and win some EOS to boot. In an interview, Jesse Jaffe on NovaCrypto discussed the importance of rants to inform as well as for marketing. Stay up to date with Eden members recaps channel and visit EdenOnEOS for Chief Delegate meetings and EDEN Clips like:

API+ Blue Paper

The API+ Blue Paper (available for download on the ENF blog) is integral to solving persistent mainnet problems. One of the need areas that B1 never got around to is that of an API that can scale to meet transaction volume. Teams that develop specialized API infrastructure have relied upon Block Producer Rewards. The inherent variability of this funding stream isn’t conducive for a stable development environment. With new funding from the ENF and other sources (e.g. Pomelo), API issues can be reasonably addressed, such as:

• Software Maintenance

• Support Existing Operations

• Increase Availability

• Feature Development

Those directly affected by improved mainnet APIs include developers of apps, smart contracts, protocols, and tools, as well as data analysts, exchanges, and administrators. Proposed salaries and team assignments are listed on page 21.

ENF vs. B1 Legal Drama and Weekly Rants

This time it was HackerNoon picking on the legal drama festering since B1 shifted its focus to Bullish and Voice. Yves is quoted as:

“We have been disappointed with Block.one’s reaction to our attempts to negotiate a solution following its failure to fulfill its commitments…”

In a blog post entitled B1 Litigation Update, the ENF announced a call to action:

EOS Network Foundation is requesting more information from the EOS community related to your personal or business experiences with Block.One, EOS or EOS VC.

Also out of the ENF camp this week was:

• EOSIO+ Statement of Purpose

• Securing Talent for the EOS Network

• And Rants on leverage and consensus

Pomelo Season 2 Date Set

Official dates have been announced for Pomelo Season 2. Grant applications are open from March 2 through April 11. Donations begin being accepted on March 30 and end on April 23. Remember, applications must demonstrate a public good. As for season 2 NFTs, detailed information can be found at EOS Nation. Blending starts Tuesday. The ultimate goal is to blend a “stunningly clear Diamond Pomelo”. All primary sales go to the matching fund pool. This week also saw the release of EOS Nation’s February 2022 WAX Report.

Fractally Gains Momentum

Introduced on February 22, fractally has already completed two tests. The framework for next generation DAOs has various applications. Excitement continues to grow around fractally’s potential for Eden elections. As an NFT standard, James Mart illustrated how: 

…Fractally is not in competition with AtomicAssets. Rather, it allows other NFT standards to opt into a common base infra, making them cheaper & more interoperable. It's more of a standard for NFT standards.

Dan Larimer invited anyone interested in helping:

bring fractal governance to the world

to register for this week’s meeting. More than 50 participants found fractally to be more enjoyable (and quicker) than what has been expected of Eden elections. Fractally meetings are scheduled for Saturdays. You’re encouraged to attend.

EOS Finds the Spotlight Again

EOS found itself in the spotlight again on the second to last day in February. If you recall, just a couple of weeks prior, Brock Pierce discussed EOS on FOX Business. This time it was Market Wire News praising EOS. More people are finding that cryptocurrency transactions need not be costly. Tabbed as a “smart contracts platform” token by Market Wire News, EOS was among five others considered the best in class purchasable for under $10. EOS once held a top four position by market cap. With the ENF’s successful takeover of duties from B1, it appears that the EOS mainnet is regaining respect. Market Wire News is a resource for traditional stock investors. This illustrates the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies, a reality that will need low cost, fast transactions like EOS.

Around the EdenOS Genesis Community on the EOS Mainnet

Helios seems to be making good on its promise to support EOSIO. This week’s Top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week (hosted by Chris Barnes) is a good example. More EOSIO details are presented by Chris in a recent Helios Spotlight. For an overview of weekly events specific to Eden and the mainnet, check out the members’ Recaps Channel. With the second Eden election quickly approaching, Chief Delegate meeting #20 opened with refining the voting process, and of course, the implementation of fractally. Among this week’s Eden Clips were:

• A Proxy to End Vote Trading, Can BPs be Doing More

• Dan Larimer on why the ƒractally White Paper was not Translated

• EOS BP Analysis, A New Eden-Based DAO

Remember that there’s also weekly Fireside Chats and game nights.

Meta Finney Report

Last week’s apartment purchase rings louder with Worldwide Webb announcing new features specific to NFT displays and pets. A total of 10 integrations were scheduled for this past week. Mongs have already visited OG’s Pawn Shop. Finney continues to find new crypto friends since coming to Earth. The most recent is as famous as any in Bored Apes Yacht Club #8855. Check ‘em out in the official Meta Collection. Finney also started developing its Sandbox estate and a physical NFT gallery. As always, there’s giveaways and weekly engagement rewards for community members who inspire through their feedback (e.g. articles and videos on YT and Twitch).

Fractally Whitepaper Released

Here’s (video) the much awaited TWOSDAY presentation of the Fractally whitepaper. You can read the document in full here. Maybe you’d rather get started with the FAQs. For those who aren’t Eden members or engaged in regular EOS chat, Fractally, as taken directly from the whitepaper, is:

Is a framework for the next generation of DAOs

There are seemingly many different approaches to DAOs. Rarely does an effort seek to uphold the essence for which a decentralized, autonomous organization is meant- that is, cooperation. Central to Fractally is the RESPECT token. RESPECT will be earned through contributions like attending meetings, engagement, funding, recruitment, and collaboration. Skip to page 17 of the whitepaper to view the Respect Flow Diagram. fractally LLC exists to develop open source technology. It extends the purity of the blockchain movement to uplift the spirit of a particular community, i.e. fractals.

Earn EOS with Your Feedback on Blue Papers 

The EOS mainnet is a community. If you’re a veteran, you probably hear that a lot. For those new to the community, what better example is there than a meaningful initiative where your voices are seriously considered. Thanks to the EOS Network Foundation, you can earn money for critiquing blue papers. These papers are the guides for core working groups that are building the next generation mainnet. Areas to format your ideas include funding, alternatives, enhancements, and additions. The first deadline is March 12. You’ll find specifications for submission on the ENF blog post entitled Blue Paper Community Feedback Initiative. 

An EOS Champion: Brock Pierce is More than Helios

Brock Pierce elegantly navigates in and around the EOS ecosystem. Maybe no one else has done more to spread the word about EOS on mainstream media. The FOX news clip (above) is just another example in a string of Brock’s positive exposure. But Brock is more than a Hollywood face. He connects with the core community. He’s been an inspiration for blockchain as one of it’s early adopters. It says a lot that he chose EOS to focus his attention and push innovation with Helios. Community members will be glad to know that he and the Helios team supports Fractally. With the Incubator Light (week 6) program, there’s innumerable ways that the mainnet can benefit. Have an idea? Check out the post about recruiting a startup team.

Recover+ Working Group

EOS continues to push the envelope of what’s possible on a public blockchain. Recover+ working group illustrates this by breaking the mold of conventional approaches to decentralized ledger management. More specifically, Recover+:

…aims to create a crisis management framework…

Included in the plan are:

…emergency contracts, protocols, guides…, FAQs, and advice…

The blog post (from last week) proposes use cases such as DAO insurance and more efficient recovery initiatives. The lead team is PIZZA.FINANCE. The community will also be happy to know that a web-based, user friendly interface is in the works.

Dan Discusses the Future with Fractally and Mandel

Being the leader that Dan is, he rarely releases anything significant without following up with community engagement. Maybe you read or skimmed through the Fractally whitepaper. Check out the above interview for a deeper understanding. It’ll provide insight into how Fractally is:

• A framework for community consensus

• Provides tools to build an economy and work together

• Overcome tendencies toward centralization

Dan also pointed out that it’s the first system that intrinsically empowers people to: 

…reach consensus on their vision…  

And that Fractally is specifically:

 …solving the public goods problem…

It’s also a rewards based system. Dan discusses the RESPECT token dynamic along with the power to selectively provide liquidity to a fractal. He concludes with a better development environment in terms of compensation, as well as weekly ‘accounting’ for Eden governance and nurturing the best ideas. Check out this twitter thread and the Go Fractally blog for more. Fractally is where Dan’s heart has been even before Bitshares- that is, improving (replacing) traditional governance.

Around the (fractally governed?) EdenOS Genesis Community on the EOS Mainnet

If you’ve not heard yet, Fractally will likely change the process of Eden elections. This means inclusion for those that deserve the most RESPECT (token distribution on page 17). The community continues full steam ahead with the weekly Fireside Chat and Chief Delegate meeting #19. This week also saw the second EOS Mandel meeting. For those on the go, there’s Eden Clips:

• On Forced Starvation and Payment for Nothing

• The ENF vs B1: Nothing But Questions

• Legal Opinion for a Chief Delegate Entity

As well as on topic rants:

• Multilingual content 

• Balancing information flow

Meta Finney Report

UNDRGRND appears to have gained some real momentum. Check out the latest UNDRGRND Digs and featured artist drop. The whole Meta Collect community feels more vibrant. The Metaverse is coming and in anticipation, the team purchased an apartment for Finney and a larger space for Meta Collect. The Mongs also had something to say this week with assets growing in value. Be sure to check out the new EOSwriter Podcast episodes (1 & 2). As always, there’s giveaways and weekly engagement rewards for community members who inspire through their feedback (e.g. articles and videos on YT and Twitch).

ENF’s B1 Statement and Yves La Rose Rants

The community found clarity from comments by ENF head Yves regarding the $4+ billion legal filing against Block.one. In a Bywire exclusive, he stated the following: 

The exact value of any potential claim against Block.one is yet to be determined. The purpose…is to let EOS community members know that we are aware of their concerns…

Eden Capital determined that the key to winning is:

…distinguish the difference between #EOS and #EOSIO…

Zack Gall dug up the 4 year old Steemit article where B1 clearly identifies EOS.IO and the EOS ecosystem as independent entities with distinct objectives. Also this week from Yves, where the following rants:

• on voting

• on community and vision

• on token listings

Daniel Larimer Inspires Constructive Brainstorming

Dan discussed smart contracts and DAOs this week. He emphasized how promises and reputation are connected: 

…The only consequence for broken "promises" should be reputation, otherwise we are building on unbacked and unbackable promises.  #DAO

Are they (reputable promises) essential building blocks of DAOs? Dan also pointed out that all ‘true’ DAOs can be recovered via forking. He extended the DAO to EdenOnEOS saying:

…imagine #Bitcoin (a DAO) claiming it needs a "foundation" to operate. The whole point of a DAO is to facilitate the spontaneous interactions of individuals creating value.

Inspiring further, Dan asked the community:

What are your top reasons for building on #EOS?

Instead of rallying around well known EOS advantages like transaction speeds and ‘readable’ account names, the community spewed off a wide variety of reasons over 128 replies:

• Libraries and full stack performant

• L1 multisig

• C++ smart contracts

• Access to funding

• Human governance

• Heartfelt community

The included image was found in a twitter reply by omido.

Buy EOS NFTs via Shopify

Shopify is recognized on the NYSE. It’s annual revenue approaches $3 billion. Pomelo’s quadratic funding roared onto the scene in its first season. Some might say that Pomelo had a better launch than Gitcoin- albeit with a rough path to follow. This week the Pomelo team announced it’s NFTs on Shopify. It’s another example of core EOS development pushing the envelope. Innovation had been limited under B1. Shopify introduces several easy payment methods, among other advantages. Interweaving EOS into everyday online life can only be good. It makes it easier to showcase what the mainnet has to offer. Pomelo values contributions. The team identified 95 early supporters who held a Golden Pomelo or S01 Pomelo Badge. Each received a limited supply Grant Collectible Pack.

Core+ Blue Paper Followup

Are you a dedicated EOS community member but a bit busy? Maybe check out GenPool Spotlight: The EOS Core+ Blue Paper with Jimmy, Adam, Sharif, Daniel and Stan. The video will not only give you an idea of what Core+ is all about, but also illuminate the motivation behind the team. It’s a superb example of the mainnet’s spirit and what it hopes to achieve. Here’s the Core+ blue paper again to read in full. 

Upland P2P Transfers

Upland ranks among the most respected NFT projects. It’s viewed as both a game and metaverse with commercial advantages. More than this, the Upland world is based on real life properties. It’s a game chasing the same feel as Pokemon Go. Including one’s neighborhood into augmented reality has obvious advantages. Add peer-to-peer UPX transfers, and player connectivity becomes all the more ingrained. It’s a bigger deal than one might expect considering the potential Upland has for small business. Consider also the NFL Players Association’s interest. Football hits at the heart of neighborhoods. How much more meaningful is Upland’s P2P implementation with the announcement of an official player ambassador. 

Around the EdenOS Genesis Community on EOS

Check out EdenOnEOS for the latest Chief Delegate meeting (#18) and Eden Clips. With the second election drawing near, here’s a really good recap of key topics for this week. A community member (@IgnoreRonPaul) condensed  #16 for convenience. Hopefully Eden community continues to meet needs pertaining to both the operational flow of the network and that of individuals. Make no mistake, Eden members have already surpassed expectations for the average blockchain community. Still, there’s no measuring stick that tops out blockchain networking effeciency and the like. If clips, rants (see above), and more recaps improve member networking, stick with it. We must also maintain vigilance to align with the more complex infrastructure catering to information dissemination and intelligence gathering in support of community initiatives. EOS Game Night (on Discord) adds value to this end. So does the weekly Fireside Chat now present on both Discord and Twitter.

MetaFinney Report

With the launch of Meta Collect, Finney runs hotter than ever. This new approach to the weekly Finney community report will try to make it a bit easier to keep track of our favorite android’s impact and his friends. UNDRGRND Digs 012 is available. For those with a Tezos membership, you have a drop. Check out what Bitcoin Madame had to say:

Seems like every time I check my $Tezos wallet there’s a new NFT in there. Like this #airdrop from @UNDRGRND_NFT by @mekikobra ❤️ #UNDRGRND is the best NFT membership club ever!
