Decentralised Operating System
EOS is a decentralised operating system, much like Ethereum. What this means is you can build applications on top of it. Unlike Ethereum where you need to pay in ether to run a smart online contract, You do not need to pay for anything in EOS, but all developers must have some EOS in order to publish their applications onto the EOS blockchain.
Inflation
EOS has a 5% inflation rate, This will in-fact decrease over time, But it will never reach 0%, the reason for this is to simply keep the network growing.
Transactions
An interesting thing about EOS is they claim that they will be able to do millions of transactions a second, putting them up their with VISA. If this is true EOS could be one of the biggest cryptocurrencies to date. As of right now, the leaders in the crypto space such as Bitcoin and Ethereum cannot even nearly match that with Bitcoin doing about 3-4 transactions a second and Ethereum doing about 7. On top of this EOS are saying any transaction you do with EOS will be 100% free of any transaction costs.
cryptocurrency
On top of all of these features EOS will also be a currency platform, Allowing for everyday people to buy things with the tokens, Much like Bitcoin cash. With the free transaction fees this will be an appealing coin for many to use as a medium of exchange.
