If you think that the issue with the document called the “EOS Constitution” is closed, you are mistaken, because everything is just beginning. Due to the chaos surrounding the EOS rulebook, Daniel Larimer, co-founder and technical architect of the EOS cryptocurrency, is about to scrap the old constitution and adopt a new one. Speaking on the EOSIO Gov telegram channel, Larimer proposed abandoning the existing model, calling it “unreasonable.”
Larimer said that he had learned a lot about human nature from watching the disputes, and now the idea of solving all issues through the ECAF arbitration forum does not seem very successful to him.
Recall that controversy in the network arose when block producers, who should only be executors of the management decisions of the arbitration forum, twenty-seven user accountsthat pose a potential danger to the network were voluntarily frozen. Thus, they violated the EOS network governance model.
There was another controversy this week when the block producer EOS Store did not comply with another ECAF directive, indicating a misunderstanding between the block producers and the arbitration body. An unconfirmed screenshot of a conversation between an EOS Store representative and a Reddit user revealed that the EOS Store is run by an individual and that person was unable to complete the task due to his personal affairs, further exacerbating the issue.
We have not received confirmation from the EOS Store regarding this situation, but it is clear that all of this controversy has made Larimer think about not allowing block producers to have such excessive control over the network.
Larimer said in Telegram:
"My official opinion on the controversy regarding stolen keys is that no action should be taken. Manufacturers should use a portion of their revenue to provide refunds to blocked users. ECAF does more harm to the community than the funds we intend to return to users."
It is worth noting that after Larimer's comments, ECAF stopped accepting claims for damages. “Claims regarding lost private keys will not be considered” is stated in bold letters on the company’s website.
Most members of the EOS community support Larimer’s proposal. But some argue that this goes against the very essence of the EOS network.
Larimer's comments are truly surprising given that last week he welcomed decentralized governance of the blockchain. In a blog post, he suggested making blockchain more secure for users through governance, and dismissed the concept of “code is law” as a myth...
Additionally, under the new constitution being drafted by Larimer, governance would be limited only to “correcting the intent of the code.” This is interesting given that Larimer has consistently criticized the Ethereum network, which uses a similar model.
Many critics on social media, including Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp, argue that Larimer and the EOS community should have done this anticipate.
But, in any case, it is better to correct the mistakes now than to manage the network with the help of a contradictory constitution.
