EOS key features and Milestones

• DPoS consensus mechanism: See above section.
• Parallel processing: The ability to do things in parallel on the EOS network allows for faster transaction speeds and more scalability. This is planned for implementation in future versions of EOS.
• Network flexibility: If a DApp is faulty and contains a critical bug, the elected block producers can freeze it until the issue is resolved.
• High transaction throughput: EOS can theoretically support over 1,000 transactions per second with hopes that the platform can scale even higher.
• Ownership model: Owning EOS tokens represents a proportional share of the network resources like bandwidth, storage, and processing power. Developers must prove they hold a sufficient number of tokens to create DApps on the EOS blockchain.
• No transaction fees: Sending EOS tokens to another user or using them for a DApp requires no fee.
• EOS Constitution: The Constitution is a multi-party contract entered into by members of the EOS ecosystem by virtue of their use of the platform. The Constitution has 18 articles that outline the rules and user rights governing the EOS blockchain.
