EOSIO 2.0
EOSIO 2.0
Block.one has released the much-anticipated EOSIO 2.0 – just 2 weeks after EOSIO 1.8 was activated on the EOS public network! The code contains many new features and is currently being tested by the Block Producers. The improvements in performance are significant and so far no problems have been reported. Let’s take a look at what’s under the hood of EOSIO 2.0:
- EOS VM: This is a high-performance WebAssembly (WASM) engine and it’s specialized for blockchain applications. Processing smart contracts with EOSVM will use network resources like CPU and RAM more efficiently and boosts overall performance substantially. It’s 6x faster than the web assembly engine currently used in EOSIO 1.8, and 12x faster than the engine used in 1.0.
- EOSIO Quickstart Web IDE: EOSIO 2.0 comes with its own integrated development environment (IDE), which will make life much easier for EOSIO blockchain developers. It’s a web-based toolset that runs in any browser and is set up in minutes.
- WebAuthn Support: EOSIO 2.0 supports the absolute latest in security standards, namely WebAuthn, a web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Signing transactions will be easy without the need of any additional software, such as wallets. Users can simply generate keys and store them securely on existing devices with a password, fingerprint or face detection. Or they can use a YubiKey.
- Weighted Threshold Multi-Signature Block Production Support: A new variation of MSIGs that allows block producers to use different keys to sign blocks on primary and backup block production hardware.
EOS Nation was excited to upgrade our nodes on the jungle testnet and take EOSIO 2.0 for a test drive! As you can see in the graphic shared below, the improvements in performance compared to the previous version are staggering! Significant testing will need to be done, but if everything goes well, we could see the blazing fast speeds of EOSIO 2.0 live on the EOS public network before the end of 2019!
Dan Larimer followed it up by teasing the community with hints about EOSIO 3.0, which focuses on scaling RAM and greatly enhanced database API and database performance. The foundations of EOSIO have never been stronger!

StartEOS Formal Verification Project
StartEOS Formal Verification Project
The security of smart contracts is essential for the safety of users’ funds. A few bad lines of code can create a lot of FUD, even going so far as harming the reputation of the underlying blockchain protocol. To prevent such incidents, developers are well advised to get several audits from security experts, and users should insist on such audits before depositing large amounts of funds in an account controlled by a smart contract. While there are many great teams for security audits, the ultimate goal must be an automated process. And the Starteos team just made a huge step in this direction with their First Global EOS-Based Formal Verification Project.
Formal verification uses logic to verify the credibility of a program to get the expected results without bugs.
Mr. Ang Li, the founder of the project and the CEO of Starteos, said:
“We should focus on the realistic and applied features of this formal verification project, and we aim to create a big product that will not only serve for StartEOS but also for the whole EOS society and the entire blockchain industry.”
The Blockchain Technology Research and Application Joint Laboratory (a Starteos established company) and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) worked on this project in stealth mode for the last 18 months and have now released their results in a detailed article on Steemit.
The current system includes four different roles:
- the Users: Upload an EOS Smart Contract to the system for testing
- the Analyst: Audit submitted code of Smart Contracts
- the Evaluators: Arbitrate the Smart Contracts that are in dispute
- the Administrators: Manage the permissions of the website
All of them are connected through a smart contract and the future goal of the project is to reduce human intervention in order to scale and serve larger numbers of users and developers.
For now, we would like to congratulate the team for reaching this first milestone and are looking forward to hearing further news from this exciting and extremely important project.

BOS IBC for USDT
BOS IBC for USDT
E-commerce payments on the blockchain became much more feasible since BOS, the Business Operation System, introduced the 3-second LIB, which enables almost instant settlement of transactions. Another problem for merchants that accept cryptocurrencies as payments is the volatility of these crypto assets. Stablecoins could help in this regard, and Bitfinex is doing their part by bringing USDT onto the EOS network. The BOSCore team quickly reacted and made USDT also available on BOS by introducing BOS IBC (Inter Blockchain Communication) for USDT, making instant payments with non-volatile crypto assets possible.
We’re happy to announce that TokenPocket, one of the most popular wallets, has already supported the BOSIBC USDT transfers. Let’s see what happens next as we keep breaking down barriers to mass adoption!

LiquidApps' vCPU & DAPP Knights
LiquidApps’ vCPU & DAPP Knights
As one of the most exciting projects on EOS, LiquidApps is well known in the community and continues to build up a reputation as a flexible 2nd layer scaling solution. It provides a wide selection of services not just for EOS, but also for other blockchains. The team has an impressive track record, and having recently released DSP 2.0, the future looks bright for dApps!
LiquidApps is thrilled to announce the first release of vCPU, a way to scale blockchains’ processing power horizontally, while providing far more computing power per action than a native blockchain can provide. vCPU harnesses DAPP Service Providers (DSPs) to execute processing tasks in parallel before returning results that can be compared on chain. This way, developers can access an exponentially greater supply of decentralized computation, making their applications significantly quicker and more affordable to build. You can also check out the first real-world implementation of vCPU running within our private testnet chess game at chess.liquidapps.io.
Besides the technical innovations, the team led by CEO Beni Hakak became a vocal advocate for more open-mindedness within the crypto community, writing articles on the topic and reminding everyone that we all share similar goals.
It’s easy to get passionate about the LiquidApps approach, and the DAPP Knights came to life to channel the worldwide enthusiasm for the project! This program is open to anyone and holds regular challenges to promote LiquidApps solutions to the wider crypto community.
Congratulations to the winner of the previous DAPP Knights Challenge, Telegram user @TheRealNicolasFlamel, who managed to put LiquidApps on the radar of the famous Crypto Youtuber, Ivan On Tech.
During the EOS Community Meetup in Soul at the beginning of October, the LiquidApps team met with Ivan, which resulted in an extensive interview with Beni about EOS in general, and LiquidApps more specifically.
What a great success for the DAPP Knights, LiquidApps and the whole EOS Community!
Want to join the DAPP Knights? Fill out the form we linked below and jump right into the current DAPP Knights challenge! The task is to find a catchy slogan for the project – and if you come up with a funny meme to give your catchphrase a visual, you’ll earn extra points.

High Fidelity
High Fidelity
As one of the first projects to receive funding from EOS VC ($35M from Galaxy Digital), High Fidelity is one of the much-anticipated projects to go live on EOSIO. However, due to the slow development and adoption of VR technology headsets, the company decided to shift its focus from the more general use of VR in gaming into a more specific use-case, and worked on a solution to conduct online meetings remotely. Such meetings would take place in the so-called Metaverse, which does not rely on the use of VR hardware and therefore increases chances of wider adoption.
Since the most important measure for a platform’s popularity are user numbers, we think it’s a wise decision to react to current market realities and avoid hurdles for early users. This move makes a lot of sense given that High Fidelity CEO Philip Rosedale previously developed the popular virtual civilization Second Life, which is populated by one million active users generating $700M USD in annual transaction volumes. The High Fidelity team recently encouraged their followers on Twitter to take a few minutes to create a 3D Avatar to use either in Desktop or in VR mode, indicating that some nice progress has been made since the pivot in May.
Creating a 3D Avatar can be done with just a smartphone after downloading an app from their website. The process feels rather neat and the resemblance of the facial features is astonishing.
Having your own 3D Avatar in the Metaverse is just the beginning. You can already start building your own virtual place once you visit the High Fidelity Open Source VR platform. Make sure you visit the marketplace, where you’ll already find an interesting selection of pets, furniture, soundscapes, and items like a teleportation button or confetti gun. It’s your metaverse, build what you want!
