EOS: a threat to Ethereum? Source:

Despite the fact that Ethereum was the first of its kind, tryptomer watching with interest the development of other platforms, smart contracts, which are not Ethereum against slipping from the throne of the leader. Why is it important to explore this new market? Because many bichenovii enthusiasts realized the potential of Ethereum, until he surpassed Bitcoin in several key points. Lately we are hearing more and more about EOS. Let's do some research?

If you Google "EOS", you can find the Forbes article, which goes something like this:

"Top cryptocurrencies sniffing dust EOS".

If you look at coinmarketcap.com it will be clear that in this title there is truth.

We not going to talk about the price, but the token EOS significantly increased in this setting in recent times and entered top-5 of cryptocurrency by market capitalization. It is important to understand that the EOS hasn't even been launched — it ERC20-token on the Ethereum platform. However, as other platforms of smart contracts for supply chains, for example, AMB and VET. Usually the developers of these ERC20-tokens guarantee the possibility of exchanging tokens further on native cryptocurrency, so it will be with EOS.

the

Why is EOS so much interest?

Most of this price movement EOS can be explained by the fact that the EOS, according to the developers, can solve the problem of Ethereum: scaling. During cryptostome that was in December-January, the price of transactions in Ethereum was a few dollars, for many DApp (decentralized application) on the platform was too expensive. Especially if a function token has been entertaining (games).

EOS promises to solve the scaling problem using a different consensus mechanism called Delegated Proof of Stake ("delegated proof of share ownership"), or just DPoS. Read more about the differences between Proof of Work and Proof of Stake we . If you understand what a PoS, DPoS will be very similar, but the number of nodes (nodes), capable of confirming the transaction, there will be less, so the network will be more democratic. She will be able to process more transactions because it will be less decentralised, and therefore less secure.

the

Arguments against EOS

DPoS checked only partially. DPoS blockchain already using Notably, Steem and Bitshares. Dan Larimer, technical Director BlockOne, played an important role in creating all three of these networks. But DPoS have their weaknesses. Not so long ago against the DPoS expressed Buterin acne, but to understand his argument is quite difficult to mere mortals. In any Protocol transaction confirmation will be vulnerabilities at the level of design, but how they will behave — will be known only when people begin to use EOS on a large scale.

Another argument against the use of EOS for application development is that Ethereum is already offering DPoS for DApp at the expense of third-party applications in the Network Loom. Loom already started the application StackOverflow in the form of third-party chain DelegateCall that allows users to earn karma in this third-party chain and then upload it to the main Ethereum network in the form of ERC20-token. This approach satisfies both sides: users benefit from quick and cheap (or free) of the transaction using the application but can safely store the token in the main Ethereum chain, which uses PoW or PoS will use in the future.

The Main criticism of EOS is that it belongs to Brock Pierce. But although Brock Pierce's questionable past, it would be a logical mistake to assert that as the EOS network is a Scam based only on this observation.

the

Can platforms for smart contracts to be several?

For a Long time, many people believed that the cryptocurrency market will declare one winner, which will dominate all other cryptocurrencies, will take their share. But now we have literally thousands of crypto-currencies and tokens that are fighting for users, developers and miners. In retrospect this makes sense because we are not used to use a single currency. Everything points to the fact that smart contracts will be the same. Can Ethereum, EOS, Cardano, NEO and others to co-exist together? Most likely, among these platforms, start up a serious fight, because space for development is not too big. The seller can easily make different types of cryptocurrency as payment, but the application developer will develop them for different platforms — he will choose the most convenient and appropriate. Actually, it developed the Internet and continues to develop the blockchain. In the first case we see a limited number of protocols, which become dominant at a basic level — for example, TCP/IP and HTTP to send and receive data from the server. We can assume that one platform smart contracts will become dominant in the future.

the

Conclusion

Will be interesting to see how the EOS will show itself after you start the core network. To succeed, EOS will have to earn the love of application developers and users of the cryptocurrency. Although there are different rumors, the number of people who are really interested in using and creating applications on the platforms of smart contracts, is too small. Would EOS a threat to Ethereum? It is too early to tell. But you can do your own research.
