EOS Native
Highly Performant C++ Design
The most used language for EOS Native is C++. This enables high performance, while making it easy for developers from traditional engineering environments to navigate.
Human Friendly Tooling
There are several features on EOS Native that abstract blockchain complexity away from end users, including human readable account names, near-instant transactions & more.
17,000+ Transactions Per Second (TPS)
While ecosystems operating on top of EOS Native, like EOS EVM also offer a competitive TPS, EOS Native developers have access to the network’s maximum performance.
Near Limitless Horizontal Scaling
Trustless Inter-Blockchain Communication allows projects built on EOS to scale with demand by launching dedicated side-chains for specific functions and use-cases.
Climate Positive
The infrastructure running EOS has an extremely low carbon footprint. The little carbon that is produced gets offset on an annual basis.
0.5s Blocktimes
EOS Native produces blocks every 0.5 seconds. Much faster than competitors like Bitcoin (10 minutes), Ethereum (12 seconds) & Optimism (2 seconds).
1s Finality
Finality is the length of time it takes for a transaction to be irreversible. EOS achieves true finality in as little as 1s seconds thanks to the Savanna consensus algorithm.
Negligible Fees
The resource model utilized by EOS Native keeps the cost of transacting low. Some costs can even be recovered when the resources are no longer needed.
Human Readable Account Names
Rather than dealing with a string of random letters and numbers, accounts on EOS are short and customizable. This improves both the user and developer experience of all applications.
Developers Can Pay For User Resources
Similar to paying Web2 server costs, EOS Native developers can pay for their users resources. This allows for experiences where the user may not even know they’re engaging with a blockchain.
Reset Your Private Keys
The private keys related to accounts can be easily reset by the account holder. This allows users to secure their account and keep using it, even if they believe it has been compromised.
Nearly Instant Transaction Finality
In a era where the attention span of end-users is getting shorter, fast transactions are important. On EOS Native, transactions settle in an instant, with 1.5 seconds until true finality is reached.
Abstracting Complexity Away From End-Users
EOS Native provides developers with a holistic suite of tools for abstracting blockchain elements away from end-users. These design considerations are necessary if Web3 is ever going to compete with Web2 and enter the mainstream.
EOS Network Reliability
Full EVM Compatibility
If you’re coming to EOS from an Ethereum-based development environment, the EOS EVM is available to accommodate your application. Designed as an emulation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, housed within an EOS Native smart-contract, it offers feature parity to other EVM-compatible ecosystems. This allows Solidity based developers to take full advantage of the performance available on EOS, without needing to redesign their application from scratch.
Trustless Inter-Blockchain Communication
Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC), allows for some innovative design possibilities on EOS Native, including near limitless horizontal scaling with side-chains. Developers can launch dedicated networks for specific functions within their application and IBC allows for assets to be trustlessly bridged between ecosystems, without any additional third-party intermediary.
Secured by Savanna
EOS achieves finality in an instant through through Savanna, a groundbreaking consensus algorithm. Many Web3 ecosystems rely on statistical finality, which means that when a transaction is considered final there is a high probability that it won’t be reversed. However, it is not 100% final.
Savanna improves on this by offering true finality in as little as 1 seconds. This means that once a transaction has been finalized, there is no chance that the function executed could be reversed. Check out the video below to listen to the EOS Network Foundation’s Director of Engineering, Areg Hayrapetian explain the power of Savanna.
Find a dApp
EOS is home to a robust ecosystem of applications and integrations. Once you’re wallet is set up and has some EOS in it you can start exploring the growing library of dApps.
