How to create an EOS account? | Activate EOS wallet
Activate your EOS account on Guarda in three easy steps. Here is how to do it.
A brief introduction
There are two key features standing in the way of cryptocurrency adoption. The first of them is scalability and the second one is transaction speed. Generally, cryptocurrency was created as a way to speed up the transactions and eliminate third-party interference, but, as you may know, Bitcoin fund transfers may take a while, too. New blocks are not created at the pace we would like them too and you cannot make an immediate transaction. This is how Bitcoin works. Is there a way to solve it? Yes. The answer is creating an EOS account.
What is EOS?
EOS is, first of all, a decentralized operating system based on the blockchain. The network was created to support dApps (decentralized applications) on a commercial scale. The main focus is giving businesses an opportunity to build blockchain-based apps as freely as the usual web ones. Besides, EOS blockchain eliminates transaction fees and manages to process millions of transactions in a second. As you can see, EOS mainly focuses on the speed and scalability of transactions, as it is often an Achilles heel of other blockchain projects.
You need to be a holder of the EOS token to start using the network resources. To start managing EOS, RAM is required. RAM stands for random access memory. Having to use RAM ensures the fantastic speed of transactions.
