This daily themed series co-hosted by Corey Cottrell and Jimmy D is an effort to bring together the community and what is happening beneath the surface of all things EOSIO and beyond into the broader blockchain and crypto sphere. For a complete overview of all last weeks action simply check below.
BP & Chill Origins
As we are just getting into our daily themed routine and building out cast of the best of the best, and it just so happened that as best we try there will be times when we ourselves cannot go LIVE, we thought for this week it would be nice to sit down like in the old days and have a nice leisurely chat about our intentions for the future BP & Chill episodes. Oh, and because a change of scenery is always pleasant we decided what better place to do this from than a virtual rowboat exploring new previously unrevealed lands within the ‘The Uplift’ Minecraft world.
Tech Talk on a Tuesday with Yves La Rose of EOS Nation
Joined by Yves La Rose of EOS Nation this past week for an action packed episode of epic proportions in terms of content. So much to cover we may have not even got through it all. Luckily though, in this weeks episode of EOS Hot Sauce #90 the EOS Nation team put out a recap. We strongly suggest you check out the complete episode of EOS Hot Sauce this and every week, but for clarity sake, here is a run down from EOS Nation themselves of everything discussed in the episode and more.
PowerUp Model
EOS Nation is currently actively testing the PowerUp model by building tools that allow users to tweak the parameters that will be in place for the deployment phase. Mainstream EOS users are not expected to be impacted by this coming change. Recourse providers, such as wallet developers and block explorers, are following the changes more closely as they will be better able to fine tune their rental costs as the proposed rental period will go from 30 days (REX) to 1 day (PowerUp).
DeFi, flash loans and SX Vault
One of the advantages of building on EOS is the base layer permission set that enables users and applications to easily deploy multi-signature security to their account, which can be very complicated on other blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. On EOS, these easily implementable security features allow DeFi projects to significantly reduce the security risk.
One of the most popular DeFi projects on EOS, Newdex, recently made a huge shift as a DEX aggregator. The platform will now give access to a deeper pool of liquidity, allowing users to trade across multiple decentralized exchanges and liquidity pools available on EOS.
Flash loans on EOS are even more spectacular. Transactions on EOS follow the first-in first-out approach (FIFO) and block producers cannot reorganize or reorder the transaction flow, which is significantly different than on Ethereum where users need to to pay more gas fees for faster execution and where the miner can still choose which transaction to process, allowing for miners to arbitrage against users on the network (known as “Miner Extractable Value”).
Flash loans on EOS are a source of liquidity that can be accessed by arbitrageurs on the network. Combining the flash loans with a trading strategy could be compared to a sniper that is constantly looking for profitable on-chain opportunities. If such a profitable situation arises, the arbitrageur borrows funds from the flash loan and executes the transaction without having to waste any on-chain resources when a potential arbitrage transaction is not profitable.
ProFi
Regulated and programmable finance, also known as “ProFi,” will give EOS users even more financial freedom and options. It’s important to note that we don’t think that ProFi will replace DeFi. DeFi has a clear use-case for the segment of the crypto population that wants to retain custody of their assets without having to go through the KYC process. ProFi is a solution that will bridge the gap for the growing segment of the crypto population that does require a regulated approach for their investment needs and strategies. ProFi will leverage the EOS protocol to build a rail for institutional funds and the traditional world legacy systems.
No rush for parallel processing on EOS
While enabling multi-core processing or IBC would certainly bring some positive reactions from the community, the actual increase in technical performance is not currently needed. The EOS Mainnet already handles as many transactions as the network wants to throw at it and, for the last 3 years, Block.one and block producers have been optimizing for single-core performance. When the time comes, and single core performance is fully-optimized, EOS will be able to transition to further multi-core processing capabilities.
