About EOS

EOS is a blockchain platform for decentralized applications built by Block.one, which raised $4.1 billion in the largest ICO in history (2018). EOS uses Delegated Proof of Stake with 21 block producers elected by token holders, enabling extremely high throughput (thousands of TPS) and free transactions for users — with resource costs borne by dApp developers. After years of development challenges, EOS was taken over by the EOS Network Foundation (ENF) in 2021, which forked Block.one's code and relaunched the ecosystem independently. EOS is now part of the Antelope protocol coalition alongside Telos, WAX, and UX Network.

How to Swap EOS

Exchanging EOS (EOS) on SyntheticSwap requires no account creation or identity documents. Open SyntheticSwap, choose EOS as your source or target coin, provide your destination wallet address, and review the floating rate displayed. After sending EOS from your personal wallet to the deposit address, the swap processes automatically and your chosen asset is delivered directly to your wallet. SyntheticSwap never holds your funds at any point during the process.

How to Store EOS

EOS uses account-based storage with human-readable names (not hex addresses). Anchor Wallet is the primary desktop wallet. Wombat Wallet is popular for mobile. EOS uses staked resources (CPU, NET, RAM) rather than gas fees. Ledger supports EOS via Anchor integration.
