Everything EOS Weekly Report — August 28th
The New EOS On The Rise
We’re celebrating our one year anniversary since launching the EOS Network Foundation and The New EOS is on the rise in so many exciting ways. After four years of diligently building since the EOS Network launched and one year of resurrection since founding the ENF, the future has never looked so bright and we’re more bullish now than ever before!
Since our momentous announcement of Antelope last week and the plethora of other exciting news on our blog, EOS is experiencing rapid growth in attention and popularity. As Lunar Crush and CryptoDep reported, engagements about EOS on social media have doubled and tripled over the past week. This is part of a much longer trend of sustained growth for EOS across all social media platforms, as you can see in our Q2 Quarterly Report and other quarterly reports since last year.
As we shared in our August 6th Weekly Report, we recently reclaimed the EOS page on CoinMarketCap, which created a huge resource for people to learn about The New EOS and is inspiring people to join our community on Discord, Twitter, and other platforms at an ever growing pace.
In addition to social media engagement, the rapid growth is apparent when looking at many other metrics. Development activity for our core software is exploding on Github with hundreds of commits and helpful technical improvements, which you can read about in out Leap Features Guide and introductory article about Antelope. Of course, there is also far more development happening within our vast community of talented dApp developers. An all-time high of 172 grants were approved on Pomelo.io during Season 3 and so far we’ve sent over $2 million to public goods creators with Pomelo grants in the Antelope ecosystem. Soon, all builders in the ecosystem will be further even empowered by our upcoming developer hub!
During this week’s Fireside Chat, Zack Gall shared an inspiring speech about our anniversary and the exciting trajectory of the EOS community. At the end of the same chat, Yves La Rose shared his thoughts about the ENF’s birthday and the thrilling future of EOS. Yves also shared an excellent new thread this week to summarize our developments over the past year and explain why he’s so bullish on EOS.
While we’re steadfast focused on building the most helpful blockchain solutions possible, it seems that investors in the market are noticing our progress. As CoinDesk reported in a new article, EOS greatly outperformed the cryptocurrency market with a 28% price surge since last week and the market value of EOS has almost doubled in the past month. Many enthusiastic EOS members shared their thoughts about the rapid growth of EOS during this week’s Fireside Chat and CoolWave Capital Partner Taylor Ryker created a fun and informative thread to explain why EOS is surging. The founder of EOS San Diego, Kent Eskam, also recently shared an emphatic speech about The New EOS and how far we’ve all come in the past years.
It’s been an amazing past year since forming the EOS Network and we’re just getting started. We have many super helpful improvements coming soon on our roadmap and we’re thrilled to share it all with you soon. If you’re interested in building with The New EOS, feel free to explore the vast array of content on our site, watch our videos, and join our Discord to meet the talented creators who are helping EOS rise to unprecedented heights!
EOS Conference Calendar
We released the calendar for our global tour of upcoming conferences as part of a wider community growth strategy for The New EOS!
We’ll attend over twenty major conferences this year to show the world the tremendous progress and potential of EOS. Our presence will include title sponsorships, exhibition booths, keynotes speeches, technical workshops, business development, and much more to help everyone understand how EOS benefits all!
We first announced our go-to-market strategy to spread the word about EOS at major conferences with our Title Sponsorship of Token2049, which is one of the largest blockchain industry events in the world. You can learn many details about our title sponsorship for Token2049 and conference growth strategy in our May 30th Weekly Report and Hot Sauce #153. The Trust EVM team announced that they’ll also be title sponsors of Token2049 a few weeks later, which we featured in June. In July, we announced our strategic partnership with Zaisan, a team of experienced EOS builders that will greatly help represent EOS at many important events.

As we shared in our July 11th weekly report, GameFi is the next big mega trend in crypto and no blockchains are better positioned than EOS to be the home of GameFi & DAGGs. One of the great examples of GameFi on EOS is Upland, which recently voyaged to Europe with the release of Porto. Upland is growing rapidly with hundreds of thousands of excited players and a vibrant ecosystem of community generated content to help new players learn to play the game, such as UPX Land, The Upland Show, and Upland Analysis.

Chintai Receives MAS License
Chintai officially secured a Capital Markets Services license by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to conduct the regulated activity of dealing in capital markets products, including securities and units in collective investment schemes.
This license enables Chintai to offer their services in a compliant manner to companies and individuals who want to tokenize digital assets or operate markets, such as fractionalized real-estate, securities, & private equity. The Monetary Authority of Singapore is a leading financial regulator that helps set the example for all regulations around the world, so this is a major milestone that can enable Chintai to empower all companies with the benefits with Antelope and regulatory compliance. You can learn much more about Chintai’s new license in the press release on Yahoo Finance.
You can also learn much more about Chintai in this license in our weekly report from May 9th and Hot Sauce #150, which featured the in-principle approval for the Capital Markets Services license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore in May.
