今年币圈链圈一个重大事件就是：EOS在6.1日正式发布！但是还有非常多的人从未阅读过EOS技术白皮书。在此我准备做一个通读EOS白皮书系列，主要是翻译官方原文并加入个人解释的形式展现，水平有限，欢迎大家添加微信交流。

背景知识

2008，比特币引入了区块链技术，从那时起企业家与开发者一直尝试推广这项技术，以便可以在单一区块链平台上支持更广泛的应用。

然而，大量的区块链平台都很努力的支撑起有用的去中心化应用，具体应用：BitShares去中必化交易所（2014年）和Steem社交媒体平台（2016），这些都已经成人大量用户重度使用的区块链。它们可以做到这样是通过提高性能至每秒上千笔交易，降低延迟到1.5秒内，消除用户手续费，提供与现在的中心化应用类似的用户体验来实现的。

现在的区块链平台受限于高额手续费和有限的计算能力，而无法广泛的应用。

解释：从上面的内容可以看出，BM认为现有区块链产品性能还太弱，无法承担更大范围的应用。而这也正是Block.ONE公司开发EOS要解决的问题。

原文如下

Background

Blockchain technology was introduced in 2008 with the launch of the bitcoin currency, and since then entrepreneurs and developers have been attempting to generalize the technology in order to support a wider range of applications on a single blockchain platform.

While a number of blockchain platforms have struggled to support functional decentralized applications, application specific blockchains such as the BitShares decentralized exchange (2014) and Steem social media platform (2016) have become heavily used blockchains with tens of thousands of daily active users. They have achieved this by increasing performance to thousands of transactions per second, reducing latency to 1.5 seconds, eliminating fees, and providing a user experience similar to those currently provided by existing centralized services.

Existing blockchain platforms are burdened by large fees and limited computational capacity that prevent widespread blockchain adoption.
