Why was EOS blockchain the best solution for the integration of Wulet’s loyalty program?
In previous posts we mentioned that the Wulet team was pondering existing blockchain platforms that could be the most efficient and beneficial for our crypto project.
Here are 7 reasons why we decided to stick with EOS blockchain:
Speed. EOS blockchain can already proceed up to 5000 transactions per second. In the near future, this value will increase 10 fold. Moreover, the network infrastructure will allow users to scale it up to a million transactions per second. In addition, EOS supports asynchronous communications and the separation of authentication from execution. For the EOS approach, it is standard to make interactions among smart contracts, moduled through messages in transactions. It also eases the process significantly.
Cost. EOS is cheap. Compared to QTUM, where the transaction of QRC20-tokens will cost around $7 for just one token transfer, the transaction fee on EOS could be as low as $1.
Long-standing on the market, EOS was founded in 2017 and launched its open-source software on June 1st, 2018. When we were deciding on a blockchain platform for building Wulet, we looked into Radix: promising up to 1 000 000 transactions per second and functioning on PoS and EMV algorithms, it looked like the blockchain of our dreams. However, Radix platform had not yet been launched, so we had to stick with EOS.
Decentralization. Unlike NEM, EOS blockchain is fully decentralized. NEM was rejected by our team because of its centralized nature: NEM smart contracts are deployed outside of the blockchain which reduces decentralization and leads to a decrease in security level.
Flexibility. If an error is found in the EOS application, the block manufacturers can freeze it for a while until the error is fixed. The code can then be updated without any other network applications’ forks or stops getting in the way. In addition, EOS allows the node not to have the entire block - only the data that is needed.
Usability. EOS includes a set of web tools for developing interfaces and database schemes, as well as a declarative permissions scheme that allows users to easily delegate permissions to other accounts.
Management. EOS is an open-source platform that is built for its users’ freedom and trust. Token holders can choose block manufacturers, which increases the degree of mutual trust. Disputes are resolved by a majority vote.
So, we sat down, compared a couple of platforms and came to a conclusion that these 7 reasons are just enough for choosing EOS. More of that can be found in our Whitepaper. Take a look, we really put a lot of effort into it
