No! EOS developer Dan Larimer is not coming to Tezos

A rumor recently circulated suggesting Tezos’ plans to hire Dan Larimer and the entire crypto community was puzzled by the possibility.

Tezos is a blockchain company founded in 2017 by Kathleen and Arthur Breitman as a platform for a programmable blockchain that can support decentralized applications. Tezos would act more or less than Ethereum itself.

EOS is a platform that is designed as an operating system for decentralized apps or dapps. EOS smart contracts and governance systems can also be used to build decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). EOS was founded by Dan Larimer, who is considered one of the most important figures in the world of cryptocurrencies. Larimer is also the creator of the DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus algorithm, which is considered to be one of the most advanced consensus algorithms on the market today.

The rumor surfaced last month when around $ 9 million was stolen from EOS account because an EOS block producer failed to keep up with the latest update. Emin Gün Sirer, a Tezos consultant, was quick to criticize the design flaw that made this theft possible, according to tweeted

“EOS was unable to create a Byzantine fault-tolerant blacklist.”

He added :

“Only a faulty BP caused a loss of money. It’s not a strong security model. A system that purports to provide security in the presence of malicious actors must be able to tolerate multiple errors and not be turned inside out because of a single misconfigured server. “

Brendan Blumer, the CEO of EOSIO, responded to the criticism by claiming that Tezos admired the design of EOS as they tried to hire their CTO.

Blumer tweeted:

“With all [due] Respect, if EOS is so badly developed, why is Tezos actively trying to hire employees? [Dan Larimer] to create your protocol, also based on Dan’s DPOS inventions? “

Blumer attached a screenshot of an email sent by the Tocqueville Group recruitment agency attempting to get Larimer on board with Tezos. The email is as follows:

“Hey Daniel, I’m looking for a CTO for the Tocqueville Group, a young company with a seven-year contract to build tools, infrastructure and ultimately – the Tezos Protocol … I wanted to know if you would be interested in joining.” [as] the CTO “,

Nobody on the Tezos team believes Larimer will be working on the project. Hiring Larimer, however, is a logical step, considering that Tezos relies on a variant of the DPoS consensus. However, the crypto community claims it is foolish on behalf of the recruiter to even believe that a person in charge of one of the most successful blockchains would accept a seven-year contract with a smaller company.

The leaked email points to the recruitment agencies’ poor understanding of the blockchain world, and few have dismissed the entire affair as absurd.
