About EOS Topics in 2 Minutes

Brought to the community by EOS Iceland. EOS Topics in 2 Minutes (EOS in 2) is meant for those who are interested in the EOS ecosystem, but have limited time to stay current on the current hot-topics being discussed across the EOS community.

What is the “Cooperative Voting Infrastructure Bounties” initiative?

An initiative started by EOS42 and qualified by leading EOS proxies, such as The Starkness, Chintai, and many more.

Proxies in the cooperative will review project proposals and fund (i.e., vote) projects that they deem important.

Participating EOS proxies will manage proposals, with EOS42 fielding the proposals.

Projects will focus on critical EOS infrastructure problems and fall under three categories: (1) Highly demanding development costs, (2) No post-development monetary returns, and (3) Network Security.

First bounties are for the (1) development of an open source full history solution or (2) a mechanism for testing standby production.

As of February 10, 2019, more than 26.6m votes are available for proposals.

This is a great initiative by EOS community leaders.
