WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article EOS.IO, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

On 7 September 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to EOSIO. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Agree. There should be a wikipedia article for "EOSIO" (this one, which is about the blockchain software), and a new wikipedia article for "EOS" which is the blockchain using the EOSIO software.

As per MOS:DL, please create wiki link for Brendan Blumer in the infobox just like it is done for Daniel Larimer in the same field.

This needs to be done in the "original authors" field of the infobox because adding a wikilink in the infobox is helpful for readers to navigate as per MOS:DL.

This is also the first occurrence of the name in the article and as far as the article for Brendan Blumer exists, this should be wikilinked. 203.82.59.110 (talk) 11:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Distributed equally?

"computing resources distributed equally among EOS cryptocurrency holders" This is misleading Vizslah (talk) 13:42, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely misleading. A more accurate statement would be something like "computing resources are distributed in proportion to the number of tokens staked for each of the two renewable resources, CPU and Network."

Brock Pierce

Why isn't Brock Pierce even mentioned in article?? What's up with EOS? - Brock Pierce Interviewed by Roger Ver video (uploaded by "Bitcoin.com - Official Channel" on Oct 28, 2019) at YouTube has thumbnail (aka preview image) of "Exclusive interview with Brock Pierce co-founder of EOS". Wikipedia's Brock Pierce article currently says "currency was named EOS and marketed through a new vehicle called Block.one of which Pierce was variously described as co-founder, head, minority partner and advisor." --EarthFurst (talk) 00:52, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brock was included in article once (perhaps more than once), but was removed with this edit in 2018 April with edit summary of a story at fortune.com that "Block.one" had parted way with Brock. But that fortune.com story also said Brock Pierce had "co-founded" the startup Block.one which was "developing blockchain platform EOS", so i think article should include him in the block.one section of this Wikipedia article. --EarthFurst (talk) 02:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brock should be mentioned in the article's history. But if he is no longer involved, not sure if he should be in the infobox. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 04:19, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Split this article

This article is linking 3 different topics together which should be separate articles

EOSIO the blockchain software
EOS the blockchain (cryptocurrency)
Block.one the company who developed EOSIO but has nothing to do (day-to-day) about EOS

Change intro of EOS.io to better reflect the relation between block.one, EOS and EOS.io

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

What I think should be changed:

"EOS.IO is a blockchain protocol based on the cryptocurrency EOS."

On the faq for EOS.io it states: "EOSIO is a highly performant open-source blockchain platform, built to support safe, compliant, and predictable digital infrastructures. It supports public networks such as EOS, Telos, and WAX, and private networks alike. EOSIO is fast, flexible, and forward-driven, enabling developers, entrepreneurs, co-creators, and institutions to build and innovate with confidence." which more or less aligns with B1 statement on their about page.

Removing all the corporate/advertising speak it basically boils down to the following:

Change it to:

"EOS.IO is a blockchain protocol built by block.one that allows people to build their own cryptocurrency token and governance.

Why it should be changed:

This makes it seem as if EOS.io is relying on EOS for it to work, which is factually wrong. The EOS.io framework allows for different cryptocurrencies such as EOS, Telos and WAX to build on top of EOS.io. I get that the naming convection is very confusing but having wrong information on the wiki page for said protocol/product makes it even more confusing.
