I read the eos FAQ once more to help understand what eos token can be used for.
最近我又复习了Eos FAQ 来帮助我理解eos 代币的用处。
This is an episode. So eos holders will not receive any new tokens on launching of eos block chain. There might be several instances of block chains using eos.io software. This can benefit eos.io ecosystem in terms of competition and this can also bring lots of chances for witnesses. They can issue their own tokens, however, the transferability of those tokens are determined by approval of eos holders with above 15% eos tokens. So the eos token holders are more like supervisors to decide if tokens issued based on eos.io instances. That looks the only usage of eos tokens, others are our imagination or illusion.
这是一个摘选。从中可以看出来，当有人创建创世文件，运行起来eos.io 的节点后，eos 的持有者不会再收到任何新的代币。创世文件会对以太坊上的eos 代币公钥和eos 数量进行映射，我觉得这个映射就带进了eos 持有者的权力。基于以下引用的说明，eos.io 的区块链很可能不止一条，这里引入了竞争机制，就看谁能把这个生态圈发展好了。这些基于eos.io 的区块链都能发行自己的代币，但是这些代币是否可以转让，完全取决去持有eos 代币超过15%的持有人的允许。这个许可权，就是eos 代币持有者的权力。至少目前从官方文档，看不出还有什么别的权力。目前市场上很多说法，是基于人们的想象或者是幻觉。

- When will I receive native cryptographic tokens on the EOS Platform?
As mentioned above, EOS Tokens will become fixed (non-transferable) on the Ethereum blockchain within 23 hours after the end of the final EOS Token distribution period which will occur on June 1, 2018 at 22:59:59 UTC. At this point the EOS Token distribution process will be complete and any person who wishes to launch an EOS Platform adopting the EOS.IO Software will be able to generate a JSON file mapping EOS public keys to the fixed balances of the EOS Tokens from the state of the Ethereum blockchain.
The EOS.IO Software is built such that any EOS Platform that adopts the EOS.IO Software will require approval of holders of not less than 15% of the total issued and outstanding EOS Tokens before tokens on such blockchain (the “Blockchain Tokens”) can be transferred. In other words, if the EOS.IO Software is adopted, it will be the responsibility of holders holding at least 15% of the issued and outstanding EOS Tokens to adopt one or more blockchains in order for Blockchain Tokens received on such blockchains to be transferrable.
As block.one will not configure and/or launch any EOS Platform, block.one will have no control over when, how or whether the EOS.IO Software is adopted or implemented, or how, when or whether the EOS Platform is launched. As such, you should not expect and there is no guarantee that you will receive any other cryptographic tokens or digital assets now or in the future.
