EOS.IO is a blockchain protocol based on the cryptocurrency EOS. The smart contract platform claims to eliminate transaction fees and also conduct millions of transactions per second. It was developed by the private company Block.one and launched in 2017. The platform was later released as open-source software.
== History == Based on a white paper published in 2017, the EOSIO platform was developed by the private company Block.one and released as open-source software on June 1, 2018. At the launch of the blockchain, one billion tokens were distributed as ERC-20 tokens by Block.one. The CEO of Block.one, Brendan Blumer, announced that the company would support the EOSIO blockchain with over one billion USD in funding from the token sale and ultimately Block.one raised over four billion USD to support the blockchain during the initial coin offering (ICO) period.

Designed for Inter Blockchain Communication Block.one is neither launching nor operating any initial public blockchains based upon the EOSIO software. This release refers only to version 1.0 of our open source software. We caution those who wish to use blockchains built on EOSIO to carefully vet the companies and organizations launching blockchains based on EOSIO before disclosing any private keys to their derivative software. If you are new to EOSIO, it is recommended that you install the EOSIO Prebuilt Binaries, then proceed to the Getting Started Guide. If you are an advanced developer, a block producer, or no binaries are available for your platform, you may need to Build EOSIO from source. Note: If you used our scripts to build/install EOSIO, please run the Uninstall Script before using our prebuilt binary packages. Prebuilt EOSIO software packages are available for the operating systems below. Find and follow the instructions for your OS: Note: On MacOS 10.15 (Catalina), there is a chance to face the linking error below which prevents successful installation of EOSIO: Documentation 1.
