Ethereum developers have accused the EOS team of manipulating tokens to congest Ethereum, a charge BM denies.

according toTrustNodeAccording to today’s news, Ethereum developer Justo accused the EOS team of suspected manipulation of tokens, causing congestion on the Ethereum network. After investigation, Justo found that the token IFishYunYu issued on EOS was frequently transferred to the same account at a certain point in time.

It is understoodIt is understood

, IFishYunYu was issued in January this year, there are currently 66,040 accounts holding IFishYunYu, and 80% of IFishYunYu holders come from the same address. In June, the total number of IFishYunYu transfers was more than 10,000. Today, just half a month later, the number of transfers has exceeded 75,000, and the number of transfers is still rising.

Not only IFishYunYu, but also Hashcoin and Airdrops are traded back and forth on the same two accounts. They are draining the ethereum network massively, which causes delays in transactions for other users as well as high fees for transactions.

While Ethereum transactions were congested, in the past 24 hours, EOS reached a new high of 1275 transactions per second, processing about 500,000 transactions at the same time. This further validates the speculation of Ethereum developers, who blamed EOS for the attack.

However,However,EOS CTO Dan Larimer denies the allegations in a Telegram group

, saying that Block.one will not be stupid enough to abuse its own resources to attack Ethereum, and ridiculed that "a CryptoKitties game can be congested" in Ethereum. They believe that this method is too low-end, and there are "smarter, cheaper and more efficient ways to break the Ethereum network."

Currently, it is unclear whether these tokens are being manipulated by the EOS team. But the incident exposed how congestion in Ethereum has long been criticized.

During the peak period of CryptoKitties, transactions in the game accounted for about 25% of Ethereum transactions, causing congestion. FCoin's "money-burning subsidy" and "GEM" gameplay flooded a large number of trading users and caused a DDOS attack on Ethereum in less than half a month. At the peak, the transaction backlog was more than 55,000, and the miner's fee was as high 1.5ETH (approximately $600).In response to the long-standing congestion phenomenon, V God has raised the gas value limit, issued an expansion plan of EIP648, adopted sharding technology (Sharding),Trying to expand Ethereum and reduce congestion. And the congestion caused by the large-scale transfer of various tokens this time may require the accelerated implementation of the expansion plan。
