EOS is a blockchain development platform created by Block.one. Its goal is to become an all purpose operating system for blokchain applications. EOS allows developers to make underlying blockchains and create decentralized application more easily. It was designed from the ground up, to be more scalable and faster than other blockchain platforms. This allows for greater throughput, with more transactions per second, and much lower transaction fees. EOS tokens serve as the native currency. The network has a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism. Transactions are verified by 21 block producers that are chosen through a voting process that is designed to encourage community participation.

PLATINCOIN is a Proof-of-Stake coin that is minted instead of mined. Users participate in managing the network by renting hardware space from the project organizers for a period of 36 months. These computing resources will drive the PoS consensus, and the users that rent the hardware will be rewarded with newly minted PLC coins.
