In a recent series of tweets, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin gave a nod of approval to competing blockchain EOS with regard to the niche they are trying to carve out.
"If I were designing a new chain to live alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, I would take all the political tradeoffs that BTC and ETH aren't willing to take," Buterin said in a May 15 tweet referring to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
