New Eden Chief Delegates
Your 3rd season Chief Delegates are:
- Chris Barnes
- Dan Singjoy
- Hahn Ryu
- Luka Percic (Head Chief Delegate chosen by sortition)
The July 9 election had its ups and down. The live stream was hosted by Helios. 2nd season CDs laid groundwork for bylaws. They were also able to claim the Eden website. Season two may have been the most turbulent. The ENF and Fractally teams continue their aggressive development. Low Eden tech support meant CDs had to fend for themselves much of the time. Eden’s challenges were no more evident than during the election. Signing up was an issue, as were breakout rooms. At least one member, who had a very good chance of becoming a CD, couldn’t access the interface and hence could not participate in round two. All that said, the third term CDs are well-known throughout the community, are a diverse group, and committed to improving Eden and EOS.
Mandel 3.1 Update
The EOS mainnet upgrade remains scheduled for September. This week the ENF took another step forward. The team announced three versions of the Mandel open source software. Version 3.0.0 introduces the new contract developer toolkit. This was the first sign of hope for a better mainnet. By the time Mandel 3.1 release candidate #1 was announced, project developers were ready to share their visions of the future. Now things get a bit clearer with this past week's announcement of:
...three separate release candidates for three different products...
Mandel’s image as a dynamic, innovative solution is solidified. The product remains in the testing phase and no one can predict what will happen once it goes live. However, it can be said that EOS’ future has never been so bright.
Spotlight on Yves La Rose
ENF founder Yves La Rose methodically tackles topics important to the EOS mainnet. He seems to have a plan for EOS that incorporates ideas beyond mere development. This week it was GameFi. Gaming is important for nothing else than its creative impact. However, as Yves points out, gamers are a key demographic in the blockchain space. He went live on the CryptoCoinShow to discuss the EOS network, its growth, GameFi, EVM and more. His prediction:
…GameFi is the next big mega trend in crypto and it will onboard millions of people into crypto.
Yves also discussed the advantages of DAGG for GameFi as a guest contributor on Nasdaq.
Spotlight on ENF Principal Engineer, Bucky Kittinger
There’s more to the ENF than BigBeardSamurai. Really. New to this newsletter's content is ENF Principal Engineer, Bucky Kittinger. Bucky, as one might imagine an engineer’s words would be, are a bit technical. Here highlights a key problem in blockchain development:
There’s a lot more to be had at the blockchain level that just doesn’t exist right now because it’s too expensive, or you can’t do it in time.
Bucky touches on something that’s meaningful for users as well. Users want performance and low costs. Developers aren’t always users. And some who are, dismiss common challenges that they know to circumvent. Not Bucky:
The biggest thing I’ve always wanted to see was the ubiquity of blockchain and where we can take it as a technical product for real everyday people to reap the benefits of this beautiful technology.
Read more about Bucky in the ENF’s latest Architects of Consensus series (- Determinism At The Root Level With Bucky Kittinger).
Pomelo Season 3 Approaches
Are you ready? Pomelo returns as one of the most anticipated events ever to land on EOS. More new ideas are present over the course of a Pomelo season than over one or two B1 years. The community believes in Pomelo projects. Donations, not investments, fund ideas. A Pomelo season also offers new networking opportunities. Promoting new projects gave rise to the Pomelo Pitch Deck and regularly invade weekly Fireside Chats. And then there’s those rare NFTs. One day the EOS community will look back on Pomelo seasons and appreciate all the energy inspiring life.
EOS Hackathon Hosted by Helios
For those not familiar with Helios, it’s the brainchild of recently retired BP Brock Pierce. Brock isn’t just an EOS celebrity, he’s a child movie star. Team Helios runs with Brock’s passion for blockchain innovation. Helios is many things, an incubator, information resource, networking facilitator, and now the host of an EOS hackathon. The event will occur over several days coinciding with an educational convention theme. Seems a bit of the style of past EOS hackathons, but keep your eye on team Helios. They’ve demonstrated a special kind of talent. Specific dates to be announced with the target the end of the summer or early fall.
EdenOS Governance
New CDs have taken office and already met with ENF CEO Yves La Rose. Check out the video on Helios YouTube. This past week also saw the 13th, and this time actual final, meeting of second term CDs. There were a couple moments during the election when concern set in as whether the community would be able to elect new CDs. Thankfully, the community was able to come together to get the code to work. Other weekly news and events include:
- Fireside Chat Q&A
- Mandel meeting #22
- Coalition+ (last week) working group progress update
- Top 5 EOSIO Moments of the Week (last week)
- Daily news by EOS Vision
- EOS Support news and trivia giveaway
Fractally Consensus
Fractally differs from EdenOS in its design for faster consensus. Both involve small groups. However, fractally can meet weekly because its aim is to reward contributions, not make promises. Fractally can affect the future. A couple of weeks ago, a bit of a test was run involving those earning the most respect in each group. Instead of Chief Delegates with 3 month terms, fractally proposes a council based on recent rankings. The fractally council expects to find consensus about proposals set before it. In terms of this week, there was a more lax atmosphere. Maybe the community feels a bit more comfortable. Maybe there’s a confident feeling that tangible results are within reach. Makes sense following last week’s glimpse into the new UI. Hope you join the discussion of an amazing new way to network.
