Journey to the Last POP Token: Redeem POP Tokens on EOS Native

The POP Token initiative will be winding down in the new year to be replaced with new community giveaways. As we sunset this program, we’re hosting one last opportunity for POP Token holders to redeem them for a chance to win!

To enter, take any POP tokens you’ve collected over the past year and blend them for a raffle ticket. You can do this using the blend tool created by .gems for this giveaway. 2 POP tokens must be blended for each raffle ticket and you can enter as many times as you’d like. Winning accounts will be randomly selected from those holding raffle tickets. Each raffle ticket collected counts as another entry.

EOS EVM

The EOS EVM is an emulation of the Ethereum network’s EVM, housed within an EOS smart contract. It offers feature parity to other EVMs in the space but with unmatched speed, performance and compatibility. EOS EVM connects the EOS ecosystem to the Ethereum ecosystem by allowing developers to deploy a wide array of Solidity-based digital assets and innovative dApps on EOS. Developers can use EOS EVM to take advantage of Ethereum’s battle-tested open source code, tooling, libraries and SDKs, while leveraging the superior performance of EOS.

EOS Network

The EOS Network is a 3rd generation blockchain platform powered by the EOS VM, a low-latency, highly performant, and extensible WebAssembly engine for deterministic execution of near feeless transactions; purpose-built for enabling optimal Web3 user and developer experiences. EOS is the flagship blockchain and financial center of the Antelope framework, serving as the driving force behind multi-chain collaboration and public goods funding for tools and infrastructure through the EOS Network Foundation (ENF).

EOS Network Foundation

The EOS Network Foundation (ENF) was forged through a vision for a prosperous and decentralized future. Through our key stakeholder engagement, community programs, ecosystem funding, and support of an open technology ecosystem, the ENF is transforming Web3. Founded in 2021, the ENF is the hub for EOS Network, a leading open source platform with a suite of stable frameworks, tools, and libraries for blockchain deployments. Together, we are bringing innovations that our community builds and are committed to a stronger future for all.

Meet Our Founder Yves La Rose

Yves La Rose is the Executive Director and Founder of the EOS Network Foundation (ENF). A consummate consensus builder within the EOS ecosystem, he lives and breathes EOS, working to ensure the success of the network.

At a young age, Yves was attracted to technology. Through the experience of building his first computer and writing his first program at the age of seven, a lifelong interest in the potential of technology was born.

After completing studies in psychology at the University of Ottawa, Yves moved to Japan where he began his professional career in business and education.

With an entrepreneurial and inquisitive nature, six years passed, living and working while steeped in Japanese language and culture. At the same time, his early intrigue with technology was being further amplified by the revelations of Bitcoin. In 2010, he began mining Bitcoin on his laptop, and exploring the potential of decentralized networks.

Returning to Ottawa in 2011, Yves resumed his university education in pure sciences, focusing on perceptual and computational neuropsychology, and additional studies in behavioral economics.

In 2017, with additional years of business planning and analysis experience, Yves began seriously considering an endeavor in the emerging blockchain industry. Along with a handful of interested associates, he formed a blockchain book club, and having made a thorough survey of second and third generation blockchains, they began focusing their attention on the promising open source blockchain platform, EOSIO.

In February of 2018 Yves co-founded EOS Nation and led it to become the top rated block producer on the largest and most valuable network using EOSIO, the EOS Mainnet.

For over three years as founder and CEO of EOS Nation, Yves helped navigate the company through a great deal of operational uncertainty. Running network infrastructure, providing community outreach, exploring governance models, and contemplating approaches to public goods funding. His undivided attention was on EOS.

EOSIO was at the bleeding edge of public blockchain development, but it was also a global, decentralized network that was increasingly hobbled by distant and ambiguous leadership, misallocation of capital, and misalignment of incentives. Various teams sought to create a foundation, or a worker proposal system that could fund the development of public goods for the network, but these efforts stalled, and EOS was adrift. In May of 2021 Yves resigned as CEO of EOS Nation and began to contemplate a new path forward.

Throughout his tenure as CEO of EOS Nation, Yves had formed many good relationships across the EOS Network, among BP’s in the East, West & in the global South. Yves recognized that he was uniquely positioned to coalesce the stakeholders of the EOS Network around a foundation that would work on behalf of all EOS token holders to realize the true potential of EOS. With the assurance of support from a coalition of stakeholders, Yves founded the EOS Network Foundation.

Since founding the ENF, Yves has dedicated himself with singular focus, in the spirit of a modern day samurai, to work for the benefit of the EOS public blockchain and the many stakeholders of which it is composed. Yves continues to cultivate a team at the ENF that can serve the needs of the EOS community by lifting up and empowering the community itself.

Grounded in the lived experience of Eastern thought and traditions from his time living and studying in Japan and traveling throughout Asia, Yves brings a holistic approach to unifying the global EOS community through mutual respect, and a willingness to meet others wherever they are at.
