Inside the blockchain developers’ mind: Can EOS deliver a killer social DApp?

What are the limitations that are preventing DApps’ mainstream adoption and is it possible to make totally free-to-use decentralized applications? Cointelegraph is following the development of an entirely new blockchain from inception to mainnet and beyond through its series, Inside the Blockchain Developer’s Mind, written by Andrew Levine of Koinos Group.In my first article in this series, I explained why Ethereum and Steem haven’t been able to deliver a mainstream social decentralized application (DApp). In my second article, I explained how EOS attempted to combine features of both....

Fee-less system or flexible blockchain with smart contracts: What do you choose to build your DApp? Or you don’t need to choose at all? Cointelegraph is following the development of an entirely new blockchain from inception to mainnet and beyond through its series, Inside the Blockchain Developer’s Mind, written by Andrew Levine of Koinos Group.People use social applications daily, but despite all the hype around supposedly “next-gen” blockchains, none of those social applications are decentralized. Let’s unpack why, using two blockchains as a reference: Ethereum and Steem. Ethereum has....

Since free-to-use decentralized applications are possible, developers should have a path to acquire sources to support their DApp’s growth. Cointelegraph is following the development of an entirely new blockchain from inception to mainnet and beyond through its series, Inside the Blockchain Developer’s Mind, written by Andrew Levine of Koinos Group.In my previous article, I explained from first principles what was needed to build a truly free-to-use social decentralized application (DApp) and how Koinos is that solution. In that article, I explained that to deliver a truly free-to-use....

Any innovation must be engineered so that as adoption grows, the right scaling technologies can be integrated into it at the right time. Cointelegraph is following the development of an entirely new blockchain from inception to the mainnet and beyond through its series, Inside the Blockchain Developer’s Mind, written by Andrew Levine of Koinos Group.Scalability is a popular topic in blockchain, but few ever explain what we mean by that term. When we at Koinos Group talk about scaling what we mean is scaling to the masses. Creating a blockchain that everyone on Earth can use. That means the....

Although gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) continued their dominance in the decentralized applications (DApp) space, accounting for a total of around 56% of all active wallets in January, the biggest highlight was AI’s rise to fame. AI-powered DApps recorded around 2.2 million unique active wallets, which is a healthy 8.5% of the total DApp market. All in all, AI is rapidly growing into a force to reckon with in Web3 – so much so that experts believe that the next bull run in Web3 could be driven by AI. Further proof of the strengthening AI-crypto relationship is the....
