EOS may be among controversial projects presently. The network has been in the news sometimes for the wrong reasons and this may lead to early forks of the blockchain. <\/p>\n
There was the \u201cunending ICO\u201d then came the locking of accounts, later, the arbitrator\u2019s order which was opposed by the New York Block Producer (BP) and the uncertainty around the governance structure which made Dan Larimer propose a new structure for the network\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n
The network\u2019s governance structure with which block producers are elected has ended up backing BPs that do not comply with the network\u2019s rules.
