The EOS project has been attracting attention since its inception. In addition to BM Halo, Eos ultra-high strategic positioning, dpos consensus mechanism, the future of millions trading speed and other superior performance, as well as the current top ten market capitalization ... Many topics are attracting the attention of blockchain enthusiasts and investors.

Three months before the launch of the EOS main network, the battle for 21 major global nodes has begun.

Master Node

The dpos consensus mechanism used by EOS, in short, is that the EOS holder will vote for all the node candidates based on the EOS token held in hand, and the first 21 digits of the number of votes can be selected as the Master node.

The EOS white paper mentions that EOS will issue 5% of the total tokens to these 21 primary nodes each year. The total number of EOS is 1 billion, 5% is 50 million, according to the market price of Eos about 36 yuan, divided into 21 nodes, each node still has 85 million yuan revenue.

Eosgo has published six points for candidates to participate in the campaign node:

① public website and social networking site account

② name and location of the organization, server type, location, picture of at least 2/3 of existing employees, and background information

③ budget expenditures and technical programmes prior to June 3, 2018

④ hardware expansion plan after June 3, 2018

⑤ Community Support Program

⑥ Telegraph and nodes for community members to test

Campaign report

In the March 22, 2018 Eosgo Community announced the EOS Master Campaign report, has met the criteria for the election of nodes, the number of Chinese nodes is 8, the number of U.S. nodes is 8, the number of Korean nodes is 3, there are many other countries, the EOS Community node, a total of 35. In addition, there are 24 node pending standards.

The 8 nodes from the United States are: EOS Detroit, Eos, Eossocal, Eos New York, Eos Oklahoma, Blockgenic, Eos SLC.

According to foreign media, Eos New York can be said to be the BM-appointed EOS community, BM often in the community to carry out activities, and their relationship is very close.

8 nodes from China are: Oraclechain, Eos Shenzhen, Chainpool, Inblockchain, Eoslaomao, Eos Cannon, Eos Gravity, Eos UNION.

Predictably, in the next two months, the candidate nodes that meet the campaign criteria will continue to emerge. Cybex and Ono, for example, have recently announced that they will participate in the Super-node campaign:

CYBEX, the Prince in the EOS Community Conference has announced that graphene-based technology development of the de-centralized exchange CYBEX will also participate in the super-node campaign;

ONO, Dapp ONO, who has the blockchain's first social network, has also announced that it will be campaigning, with ONO getting BM recommend.

In addition, the EOS Chinese community (Eos Fans), Helloeos also recently announced that it will submit a campaign application.

Voting rules

In order to avoid "bribery", EOS official set up a new voting rules: Any EOS, can cast 30 votes. That is, if you have an EOS, you can vote for 30 nodes, or you can choose to vote for only a few nodes, but only a single node will vote for up to 1 votes.

According to this rule, voting no longer has uniqueness. This rule avoids the possibility of "bribery" to some extent, for each node, it is more important to do better, and the user no longer needs to hesitate on the question of whether to cast a or b node.

However, this rule can also create new problems. If a certain number of nodes (21) have mastered a large number of EOS, and these nodes each other to vote on each other, coupled with a certain degree of propaganda. The resulting 21 master nodes are likely to be in the same camp, and in each subsequent campaign they will be able to form alliances again to thoroughly master and influence the outcome of the EOS master campaign.

Thinking

To prevent 21 nodes or multiple nodes from forming a voting federation, it should be recommended that block.one develop a policy that limits the voting limit for each node. or set a policy that restricts the degree of voting correlation between nodes.
