What is EO?

NextEO Vision

Last updated 21 days ago

At its core, EO is an open infrastructure platform that empowers developers to build secure blockchain backed by Ethereum's battle-tested security model. EO creates a foundation for specialized data services that combine deep domain expertise with unmatched cryptoeconomic security.

Smart contracts are powerful tools for executing transparent, immutable logic. However, to reach their full potential, they need reliable access to real-world data. Blockchain serve as the critical bridge between blockchain systems and external data sources, enabling smart contracts to interact with the world beyond their native blockchain.

Two essential principles guide EO's protocol:

Trust Minimization

Trust minimization is achieved through a decentralized network of 100+ staked-backed operators, an immutable data layer, and a coordination system allowing different unrelated entities to take part and contribute while putting stakes at risk through an infrastructure that is designed to maintain trusted, reliable data operation for decentralized data machines.

Permissionless Innovation

The EO stack provides a comprehensive platform that anyone can use to build specialized oracle services without permission or gatekeeping. Domain experts can leverage our infrastructure to deliver high-quality data solutions for their specific use cases, focusing on what they do best. With EO handling the complex security and coordination challenges, builders can freely innovate within their expertise – whether it's financial data, real-world events, or computational services – and deploy their solutions immediately.

This open architecture creates a vibrant marketplace where specialized oracle services thrive through competition and innovation. The ecosystem benefits from a rich diversity of secure data solutions, each optimized for specific use cases while maintaining rigorous security standards. This permissionless approach unlocks Web3's true potential by giving users and applications access to an ever-expanding landscape of secure, specialized data services – all protected by Ethereum-grade security.
