EOS was created in 2017 to be the native digital currency for the EOS.IO computer network (the “EOS.IO Network”) by Block.one, the Cayman Islands based company that founded EOS. All transactions that take place on the EOS.IO Network are recorded on a decentralized, transparent, immutable, and multi-layered public ledger known as the “blockchain.”
The EOS protocol attempts to emulate many of the real-world features that computer hardware offers. The features include things like computer processing units and graphics processing units, hard disk storage and random-access memory. Users on the network offer up all of these computing resources to the network in order to keep it going, which is why the project uses the trademark principle of decentralization to its advantage. EOS also uses the power of smart contracts to facilitate transactions. The point of these features is to scale the development and the use of industrial-scale applications through what’s known as decentralized autonomous organizations (or DAOs).
EOS uses a blockchain protocol known as Delegated Proof of Stake (“DPoS”), which was designed to be an improvement on the more commonly known proof of stake protocol. DPoS protocols are desirable because they significantly lower the amount of computing power, effort and processing time necessary to validate blocks. Instead of requiring millions of individuals to reach consensus to validate a block every few seconds, DPoS allows EOS holders to vote for a small number of delegates who must reach consensus to mine new blocks (“delegated block producers”). With EOS, only 21 individuals are selected as delegated block producers, but they need to be voted in for each block. EOS claims to be able to process thousands of transactions per second, which is significantly higher than the Bitcoin or Ethereum Networks.

EOS competes directly with Ethereum and similar projects for market share. Like Ethereum, the EOS blockchain has an additional application layer that significantly lowers the entry barrier for developers to create their own smart contracts and decentralized applications (“dapps”). Developers on the EOS.IO Network can program dapps with far fewer restrictions compared to the Bitcoin Network. Dapps are like normal apps, but once deployed on the EOS.IO Network, they are unchangeable because they are recorded on the EOS blockchain. Dapps are not governed by any central body and are instead controlled by the logic written into the smart contract, which self-executes once its predefined terms are met.
Like Ether, the native digital currency for the Ethereum Network, EOS can function as a means of exchange and/or a store of value, with its value also being influenced by the additional use cases associated with its network.
