THELOGICALINDIAN - Having anesthetized the 15 percent beginning bare for a quorum to be constituted the EOS arrangement is now up and active as all accustomed functions are allegedly activated
In an official announcement, the aggregation said that the arrangement has auspiciously produced its aboriginal block. Yet, demography a afterpiece attending at the voting statistics shows alarming signs of absorption and absorption of power.
As previously reported, 50% of all EOS tokens are captivated by a bald 10 addresses. Also, a absolute of 1000 addresses authority 85.81 percent of all 1 billion tokens broadcast during the year-long Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This gives agency for austere absorption of the voting power, which ability already be demography its assessment on the aftereffect of the important vote for Block Producers (BPs).
A afterpiece attending at the administration of votes reveals some austere whalish behavior. Bitfinex, which is one of the arch candidates, currently continuing 8th on the BP list, has accustomed added than 50% of its votes from aloof 4 voters.
Here is the EOS BP votes summary:
Most notably, the top aborigine (gyzdcmjwgmge), has allocated added than 8,500,000 votes to Bitfinex, accounting for almost about 27% of all the votes the cryptocurrency barter has received. The numbers can be apparent here.
Another archetype of the alterity can be apparent with addition BP applicant – EOS New York, which received 50% of its votes from added than 40 voters in total.
Clearly, accepting able accompany with lots of tokens does appear with its perks. And while EOS’ capital ambition is to “Decentralize Everything”, the accepted action of its BP vote acutely reminds us of acceptable babyminding structures, which the activity hopes to replace.
EOS aggregation clearly announced the assembly of the network’s aboriginal block. The official barrage of the mainnet took abode on June 10th afterward the accepted vote of the EOS Mainnet Barrage Group (EMLG). Initially, the barrage was advised to booty abode on June 1st, but critical vulnerabilities apparent in the arrangement pushed aback the event.
Now that 150M EOS tokens accept been acclimated to vote, the mainnet is clearly ratified with EOS amount reacting with a almost 5 percent access over the accomplished 24 hours. Reaching a quorum of 15 percent was a action all-important to alleviate the functionalities of the network. Furthermore, users can now alpha unstaking their tokens and accost them afterwards a three-day cat-and-mouse period.
At the time of autograph this, alone a little over 17 percent of the tokens accept been acclimated to vote and we accept yet to see which entities will be adopted as BPs. This will acutely accept a huge appulse on the added development of the EOS’ network. However, the centralized administration of tokens attributed to alone a scattering of addresses has vested austere ability in aloof a few badge holders, which could accept a big appulse on the EOS arrangement affective forward.
Do you anticipate we’ll see aloof a few BPs authoritative the absolute EOS network? Don’t alternate to allotment your thoughts in the comments below!
