The EOS June conference B1#June, which has been building up momentum for several months, was held in Washington as scheduled. The two-hour conference marked on the invitation letter ended rather hastily and lasted only half an hour.
During the live broadcast within half an hour, the tight rhythm of the press conference and the silence of the audience were impressive. Although the content was less than expected, in half an hour, Block one still announced four things:
Announced Coinbase Earn, a blockchain education channel provided in cooperation with Coinbase. Users can obtain EOS rewards by learning different blockchain knowledge. Each class can receive up to $10 in EOS rewards. It is expected to be one of the EOS uses that B1 unlocks every year. one;
Launched a new version of EOSIO virtual machine EOSVM, which is 12 times faster than the original;
Launched hardware YubiKey, EOS users can use YubiKey to sign on-chain transactions through WebAuthn;
Release the social product Voice.
Voice undoubtedly attracted the most attention. On May 28, Block.one purchased 3.3 million EOS of RAM, which not only boosted the price of RAM by as much as 260%, but also made its usage the highlight of the conference.
According to the press conference, the decentralized social product Voice of the EOSIO protocol encourages real users (real people) to create, share, discover, and disseminate content on social platforms. Interact with the platform; and declare that all participating individuals, including users, content creators and the platform itself, are equal, and there will never be any hidden algorithms or opaque interests.
EOSIO CEO BB said: "Today's social platforms are designed to benefit from using their users. The content, personal information, and interests we create are the most valuable information on social platforms. Now, platforms use these information to gain The design of existing social products determines that these platforms need to make money in this way, and users will receive push information full of advertisements. The emergence of Voice is to change this status quo.”
It is worth noting that BM added in the Twitter live broadcast after the meeting that on Voice, EOS will provide EOS accounts for free, and users do not need to pay for RAM, CPU, etc., because B1 accounts will provide users with these resources. This proves the purpose of B1 buying a large amount of RAM before, but it also overturns people's previous ideas about MEOS. In January of this year, Block one was exposed to secretly develop products and registered the MEOS trademark, which was once guessed as an on-chain social DApp.
But Voice also verified the conjecture that BM will rebuild Steemit on EOS. Steemit is a community established by BM on the Steem blockchain in 2017. According to Dapp.com data, as of May 30, the number of active users of Steemit that month was 75,644; in addition, the number of daily posts has gradually fallen into silence after a small peak in February 2018, and the current number of Steemit posts remains at about 10,000 , the number of comments remained at around 40,000-50,000.
Currently, http://voice.com has opened beta version registration.
The theme page is dominated by red pixels, and its functions include 1. Real person registration, and a special authentication system will be used to eliminate robot accounts; 2. Voice token means likes, the more likes you get for a post, the Voice token means you earn The more; 3. Voice token can also be used to buy post weight, using Voice token, you can put the post to the top to ensure that more people see your post, similar to buying headlines on Weibo; 4. Everyone has the opportunity to be hear.
For social products, the user registration threshold is the key to their large-scale use. Among them, EOSIO 2.0 released by Block.one announced that it will support Web authentication (WebAuthn). Users can use the Yubikey of the authentication company Yubico to perform Web authentication and complete transactions. This update may become the biggest highlight of Voice; Other DApps do not need to pay for RAM, CPU and other such rich and willful settings, which will also lower the user threshold to a certain extent.
However, although BM and BB were vaccinated a week before the conference, the hasty end of the conference still attracted a lot of disappointed voices. The price of the currency fell accordingly. The current EOS quotation is 7.75USDT, and the 24h drop has reached 8.19%.
