EOS Launches Blockchain
The EOS blockchain has been launched this weekend as block producers located all around the world finally voted “Go” in a livestream broadcasted on Youtube by EOS Go. The official "launch sequence" process has now been initiated and has entered its final stage - the community vote. EOS Mainnet is set to become valid and fully operational once at least 15% of all EOS tokens are staked and used to vote. Also through this method, the token holders will allocate the block producers that will become part of the new system. At first, 21 block producers will have to be chosen. The voted in block producers will replace the allocated once and at that point the chain will go live. Developers add that once the chain is activated the community members can untie their EOS balances and send transactions to the new eosio blockchain. According to EOS Mainnet Launch Group (EMLG), this is a community process and therefore it "could take hours or days”.
