EOS dApp Map
The EOS Bees updated the EOS dApp Ecosystem Infographic, which shows a wide variety of outstanding applications building on EOS!
The infographic provides a high level overview of EOS dApps organized by many categories, including funding platforms, gaming, NFTs, DeFi, governance, content creation, media outlets, education, wallets, infrastructure, and much more. The infographic was created by Charles Arroyo-Bishop, an amazing artist and community leader of EOS Bees France who is passionate about fractal democracy and empowering communities with EOS. Charles is also a communications leader with EOS Support and founder of 3D graphics & animation studio Bishop Creations.
The EOS Bees are a grassroots and community driven marketing organization coordinating together with hundreds of members across 13 languages to show the world how EOS will help. The EOS Bees sold the EOS Q2 dApp Map as an exclusive NFT to celebrate the updated release and raise funding to further promote EOS. You can explore each dApp in the high resolution PDF version of the EOS dAPP Map with clickable links and see more great content about EOS from the Bees on the burgeoning EOS Bees Youtube Channel.
Trust EVM Updates
Following the monumental announcement of Trust EVM, the EOS community & EVM enthusiasts are studying and discussing an abundance of exciting content about the most performant EVM in the world!
Trust EVM is an Ethereum Virtual Machine based on the EOS network, empowering developers with familiar blockchain tools & code to operate their apps with the industry leading throughput, scalability, security, composability, and reliability of EOS. With 0.5 second block times & 10,000+ TPS, the Trust EVM is orders of magnitude more powerful than other EVMs and can completely revolutionize the EVM dApp ecosystem with profound benefits for all kinds of uses, such as GameFi and DeFi.
🪙 Welcome to TrustEVM‼️

The Trust EVM features full RPC compatibility and enables all existing Solidity based contracts, tooling, SDKs, & code libraries to be interoperable with EOS. This will greatly help attract new developers, dApps, & end users to EOS and make it much easier for developers to build amazing applications on EOS. Ethereum native applications can seamlessly be ported to EOS EVM, which supports popular Ethereum tools like Remix, Metamask, Truffle, Hardhat, and GraphQL APIs. In addition, the Trust EVM runtime maintains full compatibility with the rest of the EOS dApp ecosystem, allowing tokens to be trustlessly moved between native EOS and EOS EVM.
In the weeks since the announcement, the EOS community has been closely studying the details and buzzing with enthusiasm about the potential of Trust EVM. During this week’s EOS Fireside Chat, we discussed how Trust EVM benefits EOS, the EVM token sale, and the upcoming Yield+ Blue Paper, which is creating economic incentives to increase liquidity & yield earning opportunities on both native EOS and EOS EVM.

Helios recently published an interview with Tobias Graf, an EVM developer who is planning to integrate the popular apps JulWallet and JulSwap with Trust EVM to enable non-custodial trading & purchases with EOS in over 60 million shops worldwide. Many more EVM developers are discussing the technical details of EOS EVM in the Trust Developer Telegram & Discord and we’ve already heard exceptional reviews from Ethereum developers who are amazed by the performance of EOS EVM.
We’re also excited to see that Cool Wave Capital returned from a lengthy hiatus to release CWC Newsletter #52 and express their confidence about the Trust EVM. In the newsletter, CWC Partner and blockchain researcher Taylor Ryker wrote, “With Trust EVM and the leadership of the ENF, I am happy to see that EOS will be more of an “Ethereum Saver” by allowing EVM dApps to reach their full potential — mass adoption for the beginning of Web3.”

EOSIO+ Coalition Is On The Move!
The EOSIO Coalition met for the second public meeting and we released the first EOSIO+ Coalition Report!
In an unprecedented show of cross-network collaboration, the EOSIO+ working group is steadily evolving into a formidable coalition consisting of representatives from four initial founding blockchains: EOS, Telos, WAX, & UX Network. Together, these blockchains have committed $8 million in annual funding to advance development of the open source EOSIO protocol. With the coalition just one month old, we published the first bi-weekly EOSIO+ Coalition Report to track the coalition’s progress. The first 2 million USDT has been deposited into a multisig treasury account on EOS and the official voters and vote weight for the MSIG treasury account have been defined.
During the second EOSIO+ Coalition meeting, EOSIO community leaders discussed a variety of topics including creation and funding of the treasury, governance, development initiatives, communications, the Scalability+ working group, and more. The Scalability+ working group, an EOSIO Coalition sub-group, also had their first meeting to define objectives and discuss potential KPIs to improve scalability on EOS with various technical improvements such as faster finality & RAM optimizations. In addition, the EOSIO+ Software Development Subgroup is defining a set of standards & organizational processes to integrate code from outside developers, determine how various demands for new code development will be prioritized & implemented, and create a process for performing ongoing release of new code to improve EOSIO for all.
🚀 #EOSIO+ Coalition is on the move!

WordProof Appoints New CEO
Wordproof announced Marloes Pomp as the new CEO of WordProof, who will help increase transparency, accountability, and trust on the internet with the power of EOS. Marloes takes over for Sebastiaan van der Lans, the founder of WordProof, who will continue to be responsible for daily operations of WordProof as COO.
WordProof aims to create a new standard for a more reliable, safe, and trustworthy internet with the WordProof Timestamp Ecosystem, which empowers internet users & content creators with tools that make it easy to timestamp website data to EOS. In 2020, WordProof was awarded a €1 million grant as the winners of “Blockchains for Social Good” contest hosted by the European Innovation Council (EIC). WordProof has made considerable progress since earning then, including a partnership with Yoast SEO which is one of the most popular WordPress plugins with over 350 million downloads.
We believe that the WordProof Timestamp Ecosystem is a public good
with a legitimate mass adoption use case, so we are supporting WordProof
as its matching partner for the next round of grant funding for the EIC Accelerator Program. This ENF grant will ensure that WordProof prioritizes EOS as its blockchain of choice for timestamping as it matures to become a market leader with integrations into major search engines and
many of the most popular websites in the world.
Learn more about our work with WordProof in the ENF Q1 2022 Quarterly Report.
"Besides the development of plugins and integration into existing plugins and platforms in the coming months, @WordProofio will explicitly pay attention to legislative and regulatory processes because, following GDPR, timestamping will also become a standard of the future."#EOS https://t.co/2AEicadeuo
