Why to Update the Information?

In March 2018, HelloEOS officially announced its participation in the EOS Block Producer (BP) campaign. At that time, we released the "HelloEOS Block Producer Report" and "Introducing HelloEOS - an EOS Block Producer Candidate" to provide the basic information of our participation in the election.

During the last three months, in addition to our campaign work, we have actively involved in the practical applied work related to the EOS ecosystem with the support of HelloEOS' community and R&D strengths. We have developed from a BP candidate team to a powerful supporting force in the EOS ecosystem, moving ahead in diversified strategic directions, including the development of a community, the technology, an industrial park, a research institute and an incubator fund. With regards to human resource management, we have attracted some qualified fresh blood to join us, in order to remain a dynamic and energetic team in the competitive community. For those who has left, we are still close friends, personally and professionally.

Some information has updated: SuperONE, which we mentioned in "Introducing HelloEOS - an EOS Block Producer Candidate", has participated in the election as well. Thus, the wallet they developed cannot be regarded as a part of HelloEOS any longer, let alone their team. Even though SuperONE and HelloEOS still maintain a good relationship, given the regulations of the Code of Conduct, HelloEOS will keep absolute independence in terms of shared interests for the benefits of the broader EOS community.

That is the reason why we would like to provide the update and publicize the latest information of our team through the following reports - "HelloEOS Block Producer Report 2.0", "HelloEOS: Code of Conduct" and "HelloEOS: Ownership Disclosure & Corporate Structure".

About HelloEOS

The HelloEOS team is originated from the HelloBTS community established in 2014. BitShares (BTS) is the first blockchain project promoted by EOS founder Daniel Larimer (a.k.a. ByteMaster). HelloEOS is composed of the most powerful Graphene development forces and some of the senior community participants in China. The team has implemented in-depth research in Graphene blockchain technology, DPoS consensus algorithm and Distributed Autonomous Concept. It's noteworthy that the outcomes of the research have been put into practice. With the comprehensive capabilities in Graphene blockchain network development and maintenance, HelloEOS is one of the pioneering groups to research and advocate the idea of EOS in China. Its founder Zi Cen is still a member of the BitShares committee.

In March 2018, HelloEOS officially announced its participation in the EOS Block Producer campaign. Based on its community strengths and technological R&D capacities, the team has been actively involved in the development of the EOS ecosystem.

The ultimate goal set by HelloEOS is to facilitate the forces of community, technology and capital to reach a consensus on the development of the EOS ecosystem. In May 2018, HelloEOS reached a cooperation agreement with Suzhou Tongzheng Network Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Albert Asset Management, Hangzhou Shuimufenghua Venture Capital, and Hangzhou Fuyun Capital to set up a company - Youzi (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. The pronunciation of "Youzi" in Chinese is quite similar to that of "EOS" in English. The establishment of the company represents the start of HelloEOS' corporatization process to stimulate standardization and professionalization, which are considered a strength to a BP candidate. In the meantime, HelloEOS set up a specific incubator fund named as HelloBIC with the amount of CNY 1 billion in the initial phase and has completed its PreA round of financing with the amount of CNY 150 million in early June. So far, HelloEOS has formed a vigorous team for the EOS ecosystem in terms of developing a community, an industrial park, a research institute, an incubator fund and the technology.

At present, HelloEOS is devoting itself to building a top EOS node and community. With the support of its own advantages and strengths, HelloEOS will facilitate the development of the EOS ecosystem following the five main areas: node maintenance, technology research and development, capacity-building for developers, professional media and HelloEOS clubs.

HelloEOS Node Info

Currently, we adopt the cloud-based server approach:
o BP Server: 1 livenet, 1 standby; 16 Cores; 128G RAM; 1T SSD Hard Drive.
o API Server: 16 Cores; 256G RAM; 1T SSD Hard Drive.
With the increase of node visits, we will not only extend the API nodes in parallel as well as purchase higher bandwidth, but also link up with domestic top-level data centers. At a proper time, through the DNS intelligent resolution and other programs, we will simultaneously expand the volume to the data centers.
