Snax. Social transactions and why sharing is caring.A few years ago we have asked ourselves, how can we integrate #blockchain into the everyday lives of people to enable widespread adoption of this amazing technology? After a lot of discussions and brainstorming, we decided that the best way to achieve that would be to provide people with an opportunity to transfer tokens without leaving favorite social media. The idea of Snax was born.Snax is a public blockchain based on the EOS engine. Snax chain will provide people with an ability to create social transactions. Social transactions can be used in many ways — you can donate money to your favorite Hearthstone streamer or support a blog that you like on #twitter, advertisers can pay to social influencers for marketing campaigns, Youtubers can (...)

One rule of thumb in web development is that every page on a website should be within three clicks of the landing page. While this rule, like all arbitrary rules with arbitrary numbers, is arbitrary, it reaffirms that users are lost to friction.As I’m sure many of you are aware, two months ago, Carbon launched the first and only EOS stablecoin. Alongside this, we quietly added a fiat off ramp directly into EOS Lynx, the most frictionless wallet on EOS as a way to test our new product, Carbon Fiber.Pre FiberBefore Fiber was integrated into Lynx, users would have go through Coinbase in order to initiate the process of purchasing EOS. Only once the user’s identity was verified by Coinbase upon registration, were they able purchase ETH. Then, after they uploaded their driver’s license to (...)

The following research was conducted by the Whiteblock team. The report was written by Zak Cole, Brent Xu, Dhruv Luthra, and Nate Blakely. Download a PDF of the complete report here.Abstract: The EOS system presents a platform for smart contract development and decentralized storage in attempt to address the common scalability issues found in popular blockchain systems such as Ethereum and Bitcoin. Through its implementation of delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus and an architectural design focused on parallel processing and full-duplex communication, the EOS system attempts to provide a decentralized application development environment which offers high transactional throughput. Since the public release of the EOS mainnet, multiple parties have speculated and made claims of the (...)

Welcome to the first article in a brand-new series called EOS FOR IDIOTS.The goal of this series is to make EOS really easy to understand. I want to make it possible for literally anyone to understand how EOS works.The format could evolve based on feedback from EOS newbies, but for now, each article will contain a simple summary at the very beginning. This will ensure that even the lightest of readers can quickly get the gist of the topic.Another mini goal of this series is to give information about EOS without causing migraines. Most articles about EOS end up giving people only two things: confusion and migraines.EOS is complex and an EOS FOR IDIOTS series is way overdue. In this series, words like algorithm, will be avoided like the plague. 99% of the population doesn’t really know (...)

NEO and #qtum. Yes, that’s it.tl;dr: This post covers the only two viable and live alternatives to Ethereum as a distributed application platform (NEO and Qtum) and explains my confidence in Ethereum’s dominance.Photo by Dominik Scythe on UnsplashI just devoured Ed Posnak’s ongoing series, On The Origin of Smart Contract Platforms. It’s a well-argued collection of essays on several high-profile smart contract platforms — at the time of this writing, he’s covered Tezos, DFINITY, #neo, EOS, Cardano, Lisk, Qtum, and Waves.As it turns out, there aren’t currently many alternatives to Ethereum when it comes to supporting arbitrarily complex distributed applications. The space holds a lot of promise, and I’m excited to see how projects like EOS and Cardano fare, but most of these aren’t nowhere near (...)
