TOP HEADLINES
DAC Tokens
Dan Larimer's recent article entitled Token Creation & Liquidity for DACs on EOS outlines an ecosystem of DAO of DAOs (or DAC of DACs). It comes at a time when the whole mainnet is aggressively innovating. Many are on the verge of delivering next step applications. Crypto markets may be down, but developers continue to flock to EOSIO. Traditional metrics won’t hold up as increasingly powerful partnerships continue to form. As for Dan’s article, it takes off introducing cost-effective token usage (not just creation). Also included is a centralized registry to inhibit scammers from running amok on the network. These are by no means easy endeavors. The EdenOS governance model and ClarionOS lay a solid foundation for an ecosystem of DAC tokens. This week Dan also shared his thoughts on the system that assigns names and tokens.
Wallets Recommended by EOS Support
EOS Support isn't just about fielding calls for onboarding new cryptonians. A dedicated group of writers tackles frequently asked questions and provides fundamentals for navigating the mainnet. Articles are more than ‘how -tos’. They cover application overviews, broad interest topics, and ease mainnet usage. EOS Support is the place to begin weighing your options. On that note, check out a recent article that overviews EOS wallets. Advantages and basic features are listed. The article goes on to explain that wallets are authenticators and what this means. The list of wallets recommended are:
Anchor
Token Pocket
Wombat
Features for mobile vs. desktop are touched up, as are block explorers.
EOS Draws Mainstream Attention
As Web 3.0 draws near, eyes are looking toward EOS. Sister chains like WAX already provide homes for household brands. Soon all marketing departments will explore the potential of NFTs. From mainstream movies and personalities to globally recognized competitors like the NFL Players Association and the Miss Universe Pageant, EOSIO technology proves its worth. Gamebox prepares to take the next step for GameFi by developing protocols specific for EOSIO. Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk, and EOS were the focus of a recent Crypto Bulls Club article discussing Web 3.0. This was some of the best light to shine mainnet’s way in some time.
API+ Working Group
The EOS Network Foundation's working groups combine to deliver on what some may consider impossible. The API+ working group leverages visibility. Consider how the Internet never ever, under any circumstance, gets harder or worse to use. Over time, it's always more more informative, profitable, more powerful, more inclusive and easier to use. So why is blockchain such a challenge? Outdated software and methodology needs to be supplanted. APIs are that next step toward connecting everyday users. API+ introduced after other working groups is not surprising. EOS is after all a developer-centric network. Like the ugly duckling, API+ comes in its own fullness. The ENF described APIs this way:
… allow dApps to leverage core infrastructure … connect with other applications…
Latest Out of the ENF Camp
How long will it take for the EOS mainnet community to say in unison that we’ve arrived (in good order)? No rigid timeline has been set. Rather, it’s about completing a set plan to establish fundamentals. ENF Working Groups+ and team Clarion lead the way. Our resident Samurai called attention to the overdue nature. WG+ go beyond the EOS mainnet to encourage all EOSIO chains to work together and reinvent the future. EOSIO+ already met twice to further this end. Another WG that’s gained momentum is Recover+. This team tackles security and insurance issues among other things. Keep an eye on EOS Costa Rica’s soon-to-be-published blue paper and its work with the Core+ team. In case you’re wondering, the ENF hosts the Mandel Github repository. Don’t forget about the API+ highlights mentioned in the previous section.
Helios Rising: Incubator and Supply Supply Supply Chains!
Supply chains. If nothing else, blockchain improves global supply chains. Mighty Ducks star Brock Pierce tweeted about Walmart Canada innovating blockchain to improve efficiency among its many freight carriers. I’m actually currently taking notes waiting in line at my local Walmart. Innovating supply chain management also helps level the playing field with Amazon’s Managed Blockchain. Remember Walmart began experimenting with Bitcoin ATMs at select locations last fall. Also remember that Croatia's largest supermarket now accepts several cryptocurrencies, including EOS. Certainly EOS’ low-cost and fast transaction times make more sense for the types of micro purchases conducted at Walmart. Team Helios maintains a macroscopic view on uplifting EOS. This falls in line with targeting Walmart’s (or other) supply chains. So too would the new incubator light program. Note that new Helios member Chris Barnes joined the Telos Foundation board.
Around the EdenOS Genesis Community on EOS
Being the first week of the New Year didn’t slow down Eden community. Serious chatter is directed at buying real estate to support the development community. You’ll find this and other topics (like Eden Members AMA with Brandon Fancher and Mike Manfredi) on the Eden Member’s Recap channel. This week marks Chief Delegate Meetings #11 and #12. James Mart summed up sentiment in a tweet:
I'm excited for the impending crypto narrative shift to DAOs, rather than DeFi, NFTs, etc. DAOs are what it's always been about. Besides BTC, blockchain tech is coordination tech.
You’ll want to note the new start time of EOS Community Fireside chats at 20:00 UTC. Dan welcomed John Williamson and his leadership in developing Violet Garden to the Clarion team:
…He is working with us to build the next-generation of #DAC (#DAO) on #EOS. The combined power of @VioletGardenEOS and @EdenOnEOS with enhanced core #EOSIO system contracts will be unstoppable. More to come!
Cryptowriter (Finney) Report
Finney family has been all in on NFTs for a while now. Our brand expects to lead innovation and info dissemination in this space. Check to see if you’re among the Round 26 NFT Engagement winners. Minting of ETH Finneys was paused this week as upgrades were made to the claim drop (tip: sneak peak of the new comic at that Telegram post). BTW, the image above is of a super rare EOS Finney yet to be minted. In addition to our chat, engagement and poker give(win)aways, Cryton Capital held a contest for a Finney Coin and Volume 1 pack. As always, EOS/Finney relevant Cryptowriter articles for this week include:
