Buy EOS

EOS (EOS) is a blockchain platform that is suitable for the development of decentralized applications (DApps) and aims to create the world's most suitable platform for DApps. The blockchain platform is comprehensive, such as accounts, user authentication, cloud storage, asynchronous communication and server hosting, with the aim of becoming a "one-stop-shop" for DApp developers. In addition, the blockchain architecture is designed so that it can scale both horizontally and vertically. As a result, it should be able to process millions of transactions per second and there are no costs associated with the use of the EOS blockchain.

EOS offers a complete platform, including accounts, user authentication, cloud storage, asynchronous communication and server hosting, which is suitable for the development of decentralized applications. The EOS blockchain uses the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism to ensure that as many users as possible can use the platform and the DApps. Due to the Proof-of-Stake mechanism, a new block is produced every 3 seconds.

For example, EOS can be compared to Apple. While Apple makes sure that iTunes is entirely suitable for app developers to build IOS apps, EOS wants to ensure that the EOS blockchain is entirely suitable for developers to build decentralized apps. The Steemit social network is such an example of a successful decentralized application built on the blockchain.

You need a wallet in order to store and use EOS. There are several options for saving and using EOS.

Hosted Wallet
Hosted wallets are wallets where the access keys to your EOS are managed by a third party such as Bitvavo. Access to your account is protected by a password, and possibly other advanced security methods. Once you are logged in, you can easily and conveniently manage your EOS online. Bitvavo offers standard hosted wallets for all digital assets that are offered on the platform. Click here for more information about how Bitvavo saves your digital assets as securely as possible.

Software wallet
A software wallet is a program installed on your computer or any other desired device in order to use and manage your EOS. By using a software wallet, you have full control over your "private keys" (and therefore your EOS), so you are not dependent on third parties such as Bitvavo. The software wallet simplifies the process of accessing your EOS. The risk is that if malicious parties have access to your device, your private keys (and therefore your EOS) can be stolen.

Hardware wallet
A hardware wallet is a physical device on which you can store your EOS offline. It is one of the safest ways to store your EOS, because the private keys are stored on a seperate, offline, device. Access to this device is often protected by a password. In that respect, a hardware wallet can be compared to a safe in which your EOS are stored.

You can use a hosted wallet, as offered by Bitvavo, to easily store, send and receive EOS. However, you are, just like at a bank, dependent on a third party (Bitvavo) for storing your EOS.

One of the advantages of EOS is that you can send, receive and store your own digital assets without the relying on third parties. You do this by sending your EOS, from your Bitvavo wallet, to your own software or hardware wallet.
