It took almost 50 minutes for the BPCs to join and validate all identities in the Zoom meeting. This was necessary as there were some fake votes the day before so "candidate" or "witness" status was assigned to each participant prior to voting.
What happened then was pure joy and excitement as the voting commenced in the chat. No "NO-GO" votes were recorded and everyone was cheering as the "GO" votes were appearing on the screen.
Notes from the call will follow soon with BPCs posting updates on their social media channels.
EOS token holders will now vote for 21 Block Producers to run the network. When at least 15% (150 MM) of all EOS tokens are staked the network will become live. If you are new to the topic you may also want to check the EOS Block Producer Voting Guide.
But before the staking can even begin the mainnet needs to be launched first. The launch agenda is now being updated by ABP (Appointed Block Producer). ABP was selected randomly to boot up and run the network until the 15% quorum is reached. While ABP's identity is a secret there's a live communication with all the other BPCs and they're working on the agenda together.
The latest EOS launch agenda shared on the call was still work in progress and looks like this:
This is a defining moment for the whole EOS community.
