There has been a lot of controversy surrounding EOS and the competence of Block.One, the firm that initially developed the network. It seems that the EOS blockchain is live again, but let’s see what happened so far.

Before the initial launch there were several bugfixes were made, but Chinese security giants 360 disclosed a vulnerability right that forced the company to postpone the date. 360 alerted the company before posting an official statements to alter the community about potential problems.

The EOS blockchain has been launched on the 14th of June after passing security audits from the team, but this didn’t succeed without causing further problems. A bug was identified in the code, which has resulted in transactions freezing on the network, and the blockchain was frozen until the Block Producers implemented.

Now a fix has been made and the Block Producers agreed to upgrade their nodes and continue with running the chain after re-syncing up until block 1027926.

What’s next?

After the launch and a stable 1.0 product the teams will move forward with optimizing the code for parallel execution to result in a better and faster network according an earlier roadmap.

Several projects will be funded directly from Block.One’s EOS fundraising. The company managed to gain more than $4 billion USD from the ICO that has been running for more than a year.

What users can look forward is the huge amount of airdrops that are about to hit the token holders in the near future. A site names eosdrops.io has been listing most airdrops that were announced so far.

Some of these airdrops aim to offer a solution to healthcare management, budgeting, online gambling or decentralized governance.
