It was last February 10 when ENF announced that it would institute formal litigation proceedings against the original developers of EOS, Block.one. According to a blog post, ENF explained that “Block.one has not kept its word regarding past promises and that both the community and individual EOS users have been harmed as a result.”
This led to multiple discussions between the two parties that took place in November and December 2021. However, ENF affirms that Block.one walked away from these negotiations. As a result, the EOS Block Producers deemed it necessary to freeze the vesting of all the EOS tokens that Block.one was supposed to receive.
Additionally, La Rose also noted that the ENF plans to review all potential legal actions to acquire “$4.1B in damages”.
As Founder of @EosNFoundation I share your frustrations! We are taking further steps to hold @B1 accountable for its past actions and broken promises against #EOS. Review of ALL possible legal recourse to seek $4.1B in damages underway. Let’s do this together! #4BillionDAO coming
