Are you afraid of biometric authentication being used by blockchains like EOS?


If Block.one does release a mobile app, an EOS wallet would be an important part of that product. Such a wallet would presumably provide users with a way to spend money on EOS-based DApps or otherwise allow them to transfer tokens to certain recipients. However, EOS.IO has also expressed interest in something that most crypto wallets don’t provide: universal and “passwordless” authentication systems.

Essentially, EOS is aiming to eliminate traditional security hassles and streamline the way in which users access blockchain functionality. Many believe that EOS plans to make use of the biometric scanners and fingerprint readers that are built into many modern smartphones. It is no secret that EOS developers are working on these things, but the announcement could reveal the full scope of their efforts.

Dan Larimer has recently teased UBI. Will things become like a social credit system? I'm worried.


  • This is scary and bad for privacy

  • “passwordless” is awesome!

  • I'm not afraid - I'm enraged

  • I'm cautiously waiting

  • Block.One is going to be the next Google
