What Is EOS?
EOS launched in 2018 after raising $4.1B in its record-breaking ICO — the largest crowdfunding event in crypto history. Built by Block.one, EOS promised to be the "Ethereum killer" with zero transaction fees, millions of TPS, and developer-friendly tooling. The reality has been more complicated.
EOS today — a comeback story:
• After years of stagnation under Block.one, the EOS Network Foundation (ENF) took over in 2021, community-funded and community-driven.
• EOS EVM: a high-performance Ethereum Virtual Machine on EOS, enabling Solidity developers to deploy with EOS-level speed and zero gas fees.
• Recovery narrative: EOS is rebuilding from its troubled past — new leadership, new tech, and a focus on developer adoption rather than hype.
