EOS社区：
过去一年半的时间内，我们见证了众多使用Block.one EOSIO（一款由MIT授权的开源区块链协议，发布后供以免费且无限制使用）软件的共有及私有区块链的诞生。EOSIO作为高性能分布式数据库结构的软件选项，以其非凡的速度、可扩展性和费用效率为全世界政府、企业和企业家所用。
EOS公共区块链由21位选中的区块制作者落实并运行，现已成为全世界最大的高性能智能合约公共网络。如今，它能够每秒进行5000次操作，是全球领先公共区块链活动中的主力。它拥有半秒的区块时间，并且用户与托管应用互动时并不需要支付交易费。所有的这些指标代表着向预存方案的革新性升级，并将持续引领行业竞争。
依据工作证明区块链进行提升，该类区块链通常由少数挖矿机构进行管理及控制，可能出现环境磨损并对电量有较高的需求。EOS区块链制作者由全世界数百万账户选出，可经由大多数投票进行变更，并能以最少的能源需求，提供最高的性能输出。这为EOS提供了非凡的一致性和高效的公共网络，并让代币持有者的利益与网络管理前所未有地更直接相连。
随着EOSIO软件通过新发布内容和技术进步持续进行优化，EOS管理精进的机会也越多，以更好匹配和优化网络能力、地理分布和安全性。
Block.one作为小型但重要的EOS代币持有者及颇受期望的用户，持有的EOS代币低于总流通量的9.5%；随着通货膨胀创建新的代币，以及使用代币奖励选中的区块制作者（进行网路运行和操作），9.5%这个数字还将降低。
自2017年6月起，Block.one见证全世界众多公共区块链以理解、学习如何使性能、队列和可靠性最大化为目标，进行网络操作和管理。现在，我们准备好开始履行自身职责，聚焦于持续支持EOS网络的健康升级，以获得这些目标的迭代优化，并实现全世界监管者强调的最优目标，以实现最大程度的去中心化。
Block.one将公开参与对话，并分享、评论我们认为积极改善管理、性能和EOS网络总体竞争力的策略及建议。我们的目标在于重点关注我们认为支持网络一体化并将这些指标推向新高度的优化内容和性能。最终，我们将开始加入区块制作者投票，更加积极地加入其他EOS代币持有者，确保EOS网络一如既往地保持健康和革新性。
我们呼吁所有希望为公共事业提供有益想法的人在社交网络上使用标签#EOSGOV，与公众交流有关EOS公共区块链管理最佳实践方式的意见和想法，由此，全世界的投票人员都能够获得各种想法和建议，用以迭代及革新EOS网络。
开源合作的力量是Block.one的核心身份和使命，EOSIO全体社区回响着的前进动力不断超越我们的期待，助力我们的工作，并启发着我们的团队。我们很高兴能更积极地参与EOS社区，这标志着又一里程碑，推进公共区块链开发的不断前进，我们同时希望能继续携手合作，共同推进分布式创新的边界。

EOS Community,
Over the last year and a half, we’ve seen the emergence of many public and private blockchains leveraging Block.one’s EOSIO software, an MIT-licensed open source blockchain protocol published for free and unrestricted use. With the introduction of unprecedented speed, scalability, and cost efficiency, EOSIO has been adopted by governments, enterprises, and entrepreneurs around the world as the software of choice for high performance distributed database architecture.
Notably, the EOS public blockchain, launched and operated by 21 elected block producers, has emerged as the largest public high performance smart contract network in the world. Today, it is able to perform more than 5,000 actions per second and accounts for the majority of leading public blockchain activity globally. It boasts half-second block times, and does not require users to pay transaction fees to engage with its hosted applications. All of these metrics represent transformative upgrades to pre-existing solutions, and continue to lead industry competition.
Improving upon Proof of Work blockchains, which are often governed and controlled by a small number of mining organizations and can be environmentally abrasive with high electricity requirements, EOS block producers are elected by millions of accounts around the world, can be changed at anytime by the voting majority, and offer the highest performance output with minimal energy requirements. This makes EOS an incredibly aligned and efficient public network, and links token holder interest to network governance more directly than ever before.
As the EOSIO software continues to improve through new releases and technological advancements, so does the opportunity for the sophistication of EOS governance to better align and optimize network capability, geographical distribution, and security.
As a small, but significant EOS token holder and an anticipated user of the EOS public blockchain, Block.one holds less than 9.5% of the total circulating EOS tokens; this number continues to decline as new tokens are created through inflation and are used to reward elected block producers that run and operate the network.
Since June of 2017, Block.one has observed the network operation and governance of many public blockchains throughout the world, with the objective of understanding and learning how to maximize performance, alignment, and reliability. We now feel ready to begin playing our proportional role, with the focus of continuing to support healthy upgrades of the EOS network to achieve iterative improvements of these objectives, and those highlighted by regulators throughout the world as optimal for maximum decentralization.
Block.one will participate publicly in the conversation and share and comment on ideas and proposals that we believe positively improve the governance, performance, and overall competitiveness of the EOS network. Our goal is to highlight improvements and features that we believe uphold the integrity of the network and push these metrics to new heights. Ultimately, we will begin participating in block producer voting to more actively join other EOS token holders in ensuring the EOS network remains as healthy and revolutionary as ever.
We call on all of those looking to contribute beneficial ideas for public consideration to use the hashtag #EOSGOV on social media to engage the public with thoughts and ideas on best practices for EOS public blockchain governance, so that voters throughout the world can be afforded different ideas and proposals to iterate and evolve the EOS network.
The power of open source collaboration is core to the identity and mission of Block.one, and the passion for progress that resonates from every corner of the EOSIO community continues to exceed our expectations, fuel our efforts, and inspire our teams. We are excited for this milestone marked by joining the EOS community in more actively furthering the iterative advancement of public blockchain development, and look forward to continuing to work together to push the boundaries of distributed innovation.
Block.one
