EOS (EOS) vs Ethereum (ETH)
This section is a part of EOS Crypto Guide. In this section, we will compare two blockchains - EOS (EOS) vs Ethereum (ETH).
Introduction
This guide is designed to show you an unbiased feature set comparison of blockchains in the discussion. The below table shows you the comparison points between the two blockchains.
| EOS (EOS) | Ethereum (ETH) |
| EOS had the ICO for the coin in 2017, and the blockchain was launched in June 2018. | Ethereum whitepaper was launched in 2013, and launched the mainent in 2015. |
| The circulating supply of EOS is 972,456,154 EOS coins and total supply is not available. | Ethereum has a circulating supply of 117,046,619 coins and total coins $365,186,415,050 coins in supply. |
| EOS makes use of the delegated proof of stake consensus algorithm in its network. | Ethereum, on the other hand, makes use of the proof of work consensus algorithm and is switching to a proof of stake algorithm soon. |
| EOS has a transaction per second rate of 4000 TPS documented so far. | Ethereum has a transaction per second rate of 9 to 45 TPS depending on the network load. |
| EOS has a block confirmation time of 1.5 sec. | Ethereum has a block confirmation time of 20 sec. |
| EOS has block validating nodes around 21. | Ethereum has block validating nodes around 6,700. |
| EOS has lower transaction costs for its smart contracts. | Ethereum has higher transaction costs, and it's rising with network load. |
| EOS is faster, and despite lesser nodes, it has more capacity to scale and handle the network load. | Ethereum, on the other hand, has demonstrated its inability to scale and also unable to handle network load. |
| EOS appears to be more centralized due to venture investment into the blockchain. | Ethereum has both private and foundational control over the blockchain, and it leans more towards decentralized and governance-based blockchain. |
| EOS was designed with the need of assigning and voting for network validators. | Ethereum was designed to create dApps and smart contracts on the blockchain. |
EOS OR Ethereum (ETH) - Which one to choose?
Ethereum's layer 2 solutions and the dApps and the NFT and crypto gaming ecosystem have been increasing every day. This market strength is something almost none of the market's blockchain has been able to match so far in terms of adoption numbers. EOS has a long way to go to compete on the same grounds.
If you're a developer who intends to use the EOS for a specific set of the use case, then it'd be reasonable to use EOS. Otherwise, developers can overcome many of Ethereum's shortcomings by adopting the tokens on layer-2 solution.

Conclusion
EOS is a blockchain that is much more scalable and has many other benefits that are attractive to developers and investors. However, Ethereum has been heavily used for dApps, smart contracts, NFTs, and other blockchain solutions. Another point that goes in favor of Ethereum is its decentralized approach more than EOS blockchain.
Depending on your role as an investor or developer, you'd have to choose the suitable blockchain for your use case.

Decentralized system is always a more balance blockchain for investors. I love it when I can control my fund flow. Nice post dear friend.
I have never been able to use my EOS account due to CPU and RAM issues.
EOS was an amazing idea, although it has probably failed afterall. Another example about how hype is just an overeaction and maybe the Cardano investors should take a good look at what happened to EOS.
I may have to write an article on EOS, since it is such a unique case and I was following it closely for years. Good work here!
Just to test a small reward now: !LOLZ

@pantera1, You need more $LOLZ to use this command. The minimum requirement is 8.0 LOLZ.
You can get more $LOLZ on HE.
Oh!!! The mininmum is 8 and I have just 2 in my wallet. I may also have sold some while testing the tribalDEX, sorry about that, I will make it up!
Correct me if I am wrong but I feel like if there are too many venture investors in a project then community is the product is what I feel. It's never about product but just milking money out of community for private investors. This is why I feel more decentralization the better. EOS, Cardano, TRON all have clock written over their head.
Agreed, EOS was a money machine and one by one the original founders and backers abandoned it. Pierce, Grigg, Sanger, and eventually Dan Larimer all left. Of course Larimer was always going to leave and start something else. That's what he has been doing all this time.
Another important fact about EOS is the number of BTC block.one holds.
Hm. If the image is not visible, this is 140,000 BTC
