EOSweekly: Everything EOS, Audit+, Defibox, Dan, Eden Games, Pomelo Final Tally
Eveything EOS roaring again. Dan’s blinding light. Audit+ puts minds at ease. Defibox invades WAX. Eden community hosts game nights. Pomelo carefully prepares a final tally. Volume 1 card kindling gets set to burn.
TOP HEADLINES
Everything EOS becomes Official ENF YouTube
The video above is the first of three showcasing Zack Gall, Dan Larimer, and Yves La Rose. If you’re unfamiliar with Everything EOS, venture back a few old episodes to get a feel for from where EOS came. The meeting of minds discussed EOS past and future. Comparison lent to single-thread development under B1 versus multi-thread currently gaining momentum. I dig into some changes in The New EOS Paradigm: Creativity and Networking Inspired by Multi-threaded Development. A list of topics from the second part of the interview can be found here.
Dan’s Growing Mainstream Presence
How much do those outside of the EOS community know? Is there common knowledge regarding the founding of the ENF, Pomelo quadratic funding, EdenOS, ClarionOS, Mandel 3.0? Probably not. This week’s news coverage saw Dan Larimer steel a bit of spotlight in the following stories:
CoinDesk- EOS Creator Dan Larimer Is Back
Crypto Briefing- EOS Wants to Fulfill 2017 Promises With Dan Larimer
CryptoPotato- Dan Larimer and ENF to Fork EOSIO Codebase Into New Repository Called Mandel
Coin Rivet- Dan Larimer returns to EOS Foundation to rebuild after Block.One axed
Cryptonews- Dan Larimer Returns With a 'Multi-Year Plan to Revitalize EOS'
Sure, these are all crypto sites. And yes, the topic is nearly identical across articles. Still, there’s hope that the effort dedicated to the mainnet is ready to pay off. For perspective about the enduring dedication of the core community, consider Dan’s recent comment:
I’ve been working to build the #EOS community since the day I left B1
He’s also had our support from day 1.
ENF: Audit+
Aggressive expansion alone won’t foster mainnet success. There’s other factors that need to be solidified- security among them. This is where the Audit+ working group fits in. Audit+ expects to reassure app developers of the network's safety. Primary objectives include:
Automated open source tools
Trustless contract upgrades
Software libraries specific for smart contract security
Knowledge repository specific for security
Bug bounties
The Audit+ blue paper expects to be released very soon. This marks the beginning of coordinated coalescing of the “self perpetuating knowledge within developer communities”.
Defibox on WAX
Defibox success with EOS swaps and dynamic staking finally comes to WAX. Expect high APY yields from well-known WAX tokens. It’s a great start that should serve to bring the two blockchains closer. Gamebox expects to launch soon as well. Also note the recent launch of the Korean version. Like EOS in recent months, team Defibox aggressively pursues expansion. Combine all these resources with the explosion of GameFi, and who knows where we’ll be at this time next year. Maybe the easiest way to access the WAX version of Defibox is through Token Pocket. An airdrop of 2000 BOX tokens begins the distribution.
Pomelo Season 1 Distribution and Analysis
Outstanding! That’s what’ll be said of Pomelo’s first season. Professionalism to the core was a key contributor to success. Consider the team’s analysis of Season 1. They meticulously went through the details to find which projects were colluding. The team noted that those identified weren’t necessarily bad players. As a final solution, Pomelo considered colluding projects as single grant owners. The result is higher matching pools for some. In all:
$132,989 was raised for 75 grants supported by 1022 contributors
Matching pools of $500,000 (EOS Network Foundation) and 1,000 EOS (.gems Pomelo NFT series)
Around the EdenOS Genesis Community on EOS
Game night! Chances are you’re already familiar with Finney contests and nightly poker win-aways. Get ready for the same kind of atmosphere around the Eden community. The ENF added EOSIO+ to its list of Discord channels. Rami James tweeted a recording explaining EOSIO+ as well as answered a few questions about the working group’s current status. Don‘t forget to check Chief Delegate Meeting #13 and the most recent post from the Eden Members Recap Channel. If you need that little bit of inspiration to join Eden, check out a recent article by EOS Support.
Cryptowriter (Finney) Report
Volume 1 card burning is right around the corner. With Warsaken LOOT claims going live, there’s now less than 45 days before Finney staking does as well. In response to an in-the-works combine Discord channel, Kenny Lienhard said:
agreed, we have a pretty big announcement to tie in with the launch of it
Round 28 Cryptowriter NFT Engagement Winners were announced. Remember, there’s still lots of valuable Finneys that have yet to be burned. Opportunities like these won’t exist once the builder goes live. As always, EOS/Finney relevant Cryptowriter articles for this week include:

I think the fact that Larimer will now be more involved again with EOS and importantly - seen to do so from a public standpoint, will help immensely. Imagine the impact of Vitalik Buterin left Etherium or Do Kwon left Terra. People start to worry when such a public figurehead for a project no longer seems to be leading the charge. With that change and the Mandle fork, we could see a lot of increased interest in the project.
Eos continues its work. It doesn't matter if it's a good market or a bad market. New developments are going on all the time.
Thanks for the news. Good weeks.
