Block.one, a blockchain company that raised a record $4 billion for its initial coin offering for its token Eos, released the first version of its software on June 2.
The release of the final product, a blockchain platform, has been delayed by the startup's unorthodox roll-out, which allows cryptocurrency enthusiasts outside the company to test out different versions of its software — with the first one to be finished winning out.
Last week, Guido Vranken made $120,000 from his laptop while sitting in his living room.
Eos's developers have taken an unorthodox approach to their software which has caused some delays in the final product's debut, which will be a blockchain. Block.one is allowing developers outside of the company to create and test out different versions of the technology, and the group that launches its software first will go on to represent the prevailing Eos blockchain.
Despite taking in a staggering $4 billion since the company first embarked on its fundraising efforts last year, Block.one hasn't yet revealed what it plans to do with the majority of the money, although it's pledged to invest at least $1 billion into EOS-based startups.
