EOS Voter Bounties (EVB) began with a vision to pool votes in order to “fund” the development of important EOS infrastructure that lacks post development monetary returns. The EOS community quickly rallied behind the idea. Eighteen proxies totaling 28 million votes signaled intent to commit their voting power to the teams that build an open-source full history solution, or mechanism to test standby performance.

The BP summit & one year anniversary party is right around the corner. Tulip will be jam packed with events during the week of June 3rd, 2019. Block Producers, dApps, and other key EOSIO players from around the world are coming to the event. Participants that require a VISA will need to start planning now.

How to effectively address the issue of hacked accounts on a public blockchain is riddled philosophical contradiction. One of the core advantages of a public blockchain is immutability and censorship resistance — code is law, and data on blockchains is “immune” to human intervention. Introducing mechanisms that give users recourse in the event of hacked accounts requires intervention.

EOSIO has a feature that allows Block Producers to blacklist accounts. 21/21 producing BPs need to blacklist an account in order for the blacklist to function properly. Several accounts have been blacklisted on the basis of ECAF orders in which alleged victims had their accounts hacked. All top 21 Block Producers must have their blacklist updated. If only one top 21 BP does not have an updated blacklist, hacked accounts are vulnerable to being emptied.

EOS42 is joining forces with other EOS proxies to incentivize the development of useful EOS infrastructure. Instead of having to “guess” what voters want, BPs will have access to known deliverables that will guarantee votes. Similar to the idea of Worker Proposals, voters can “fund” projects that they want by flexing their voting power.

EOS42 is pleased to announce that we will be providing smart contract auditing services for EOSIO applications developers.
