Functional since 2017, EOS blockchain operates as a smart contract platform, catering to decentralized applications. As per the white paper released in 2017, the private company block.one is presently working on the system, which would become an open-source decentralized platform on June 1. Over one billion EOS tokens have been distributed on the Ethereum platform by block.one for widespread distribution of EOS.

EOS Mainnet Launch Scheduled for June 1

The EOS token was first conceived on the Ethereum blockchain to raise funds for future developments. This means all the tokens that have been distributed will be transferred to the Mainnet after it is launched. As for the existing tokens, they are hard-coded to freeze at a particular date and time. In this case, the date is June 2, 2018 (at 11:59 UTC) for EOS and June 1, 2018 (at 11:59 UTC) for eosDAC.

After a year-long ICO, the wait is finally over for EOS and eosDAC ERC20 token holders, as all users need to register their respective Ethereum addresses with EOS public addresses. The registration process, which is now open, is a mandatory update for token-holders, as all the existing token will freeze after June 1.

Generating EOS Keys

Users can visit the EOS Token distribution section and register to receive keys. For users who are comfortable with GitHub and have a secure web server and PHP preinstalled on their computer, the codes can be directly generated and audited from GitHub. It goes without saying that if you are not tech savvy, the second method can be a little tricky, as you are unlikely to have an access to a preinstalled web server.
