EOS can handle up to millions of operations per second. Another advantage of EOS is the ability to create decentralized applications that use so-called smart contracts. EOS also differs from other cryptocurrencies in the principle of confirming transactions and including them in the blockchain. Most cryptocurrencies operate on the principle of proof of work, in which they are connected to the end of the chain by so-called miners, ie owners of the computing power used to ensure the operation of the network of transactions of the cryptocurrency. One billion tokens are to be put into circulation gradually. One-fifth of them were distributed at the very beginning.
