The mission of the EOS42 incubation program is help propagate EOSIO applications. We look for dApps that solve real world problems, combined with sound token economics and proven technical teams. Uncloak, a first of its kind blockchain powered cyber threat solution, is one of the most impressive new projects that will launch on the EOS mainnet in Summer 2019. The token crowd sale will begin in March 2019 (more details below).

Thank you to the EOS community members who inspired, reviewed, and helped hone the ideas in this article.

EOS42 has been listening closely to community requests that will enhance user experience on the Chintai token leasing platform. One of the most popular requests is the ability to delegate bandwidth to any account.

Measuring meaningful economic activity on blockchains has been hotly debated since the first transactions on the Bitcoin network in late 2008. Speculators pondered whether early Bitcoin transactions evidenced a new economy forming, or pointless spam transactions between hobbyists. Furthermore, what constitutes “economic activity” as opposed to “non-economic activity”?

EOS was first envisioned to include mechanisms whereby users would have recourse in the event of lost assets due to compromised keys or bugs in code. The idea stemmed from the belief that mass-adoption of decentralized technologies requires common sense protections of user assets. Furthermore, based on virtually all understandings of ownership, proprietary rights exist beyond physical ownership of keys. Until today, blockchains have never assembled and executed a consensus protocol for account recovery in the event of lost or stolen keys.

EOS utilizes a unique consensus protocol known as Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS). On-chain governance and voting make DPoS particularly agile when compared to other consensus mechanisms. For example, Block Producers (BPs) rankings are bound to voting changes every 126 seconds. Additionally, on-chain voting determines hard coded changes that affect system contracts, use of network funds, and other crucial aspects of the EOS blockchain.

Chintai has been live for nearly one month. Since launch, Chintai has suffered periods of downtime. In some cases, lenders expecting refunds have been burdened with chronically prolonged wait periods. For those affected, Chintai fully understands why people would be frustrated, disappointed, and skeptical. Understandably, many will need time to repair trust with the Chintai platform.

Chintai is excited to announce that we will support the highly anticipated HireVibes (HVT) airdrop! Receiving the HVT airdrop will be frictionless. Accounts that have submitted lend orders on the Chintai platform during the time of the “snapshot” will receive the HVT airdrop. The HVT airdrop will be based on the November 4th snapshot performed by EOS New York. The HireVibes prototype launch and airdrop will occur on November 5th.

The recent addition of EOS ledger support has enabled token holders to secure their EOS in the most trusted method possible. In essence, hardware wallets allow EOS token holders to use the EOS network without exposing their private key and worrying about being hacked. Consequently, more users can feel safe interacting with the EOS blockchain, resulting in a richer and healthier community.
