  • Larimer is the 'father' of the EOSIO architecture
  • Mandel code fork is the shortest path to EOS independence

Dan Larimer, widely recognized as the father of the EOSIO architecture and the EOS network, has been an active and autonomous member of the EOS community after resigning from Block.One.

Larimer recently announced he was collaborating with the ClarionOS team on the Mandel codebase, which will replace EOS’s old code repository. He said:

The dispute between the ENF and Block.One has been resolved. On December 8, ENF stopping making block reward payments to Block.One. They received $21 million in funding directly from the EOS community recently.

The EOS blockchain has largely remained unchanged for two years with the exception of several minor upgrades. Larimer and his team will fork the EOSIO codebase into a new repository called Mandel. At first, two major upgrades will take place: Mandel 2.3 and Mandel 3.0.
