The Upgrade will bring the EOS in particular in the 4 points to move on, and technological advances that offer the user Good:

• the possibility that the use of network is charged by resources from external accounts,
• incorrect (“deferred”) transactions are more easily correctable,
• the use of dApps is less than cost,
• and the security of the network was increased.

While the Details of the Upgrades were already a few months ago known, the activation of V1.8 shortly after EOS.IO a Hack has experienced, in the context of a network overload caused was. For only $ 1,200, an attacker on the network has rented resources and the network for many users for two hours of “useless” made. This allowed the hackers to steal over $ 110,000 in EOS from the gambling dApp EOSPlay. Technical members of the Community argued that the latest Upgrade will prevent future cases of attacks on network overload.

The Foundation stone for the EOS “Voice”

The Version 1.8 is supposedly the key to the next major Initiative of the EOS, the Social Media platform “Voice” of the Block.one. The latest Update includes the feature that the developer can settle the costs for network resources from external accounts. As a result, dApp-developers – including the team behind the Voice can pay – in the name of the user for network resources, such as RAM and CPU.

“The Voice” was on 1. June 2019, on the first anniversary of the EOS Mainnet revealed. The Social Media platform of the Block.one as a more transparent and “healthy” Social Media-advertised platform. The platform wilil Dan Larimers other Social Media platform Steem follow.

According to Blumer Voice will be a “truly self-supporting” Social-Media-Economy, in both the platform itself as well as the users benefit through the creation, Aggregation and sharing of content. For this reason, there is supposedly “no hidden agendas”, so that it gives all users equal conditions of competition and not for a selected group.

To enable this, will use the platform of the Voice Token that is purported to be the “fairest of the tokens in the world”, because he “can only be used by real people”, who use the platform. This works as follows: The users of earn Voice for the use of the platform, and you can then spend to make “your voice heard”, by strengthening messages and media, by you to liquidate the Token effectively. This means that you don’t need a Million Followers, in order to achieve a social effect. So far there are no concrete Updates to the much-advertised platform. Blumer, however, has said that the platform “Influencer” will give the opportunity to earn millions.
