Like most altcoin, EOS experienced a climb in its price as well, moving from its initial price of $2.4 to a high of $2.7 and while many don’t consider it the bull run, it’s still a good change and simply means transaction went through over the week.
What makes EOS the ideal blockchain to run DApps is simply the fast transaction time and also free transaction which runs on CPU, RAM, and NET.
Over the week, several platforms currently running on the ETH chain had to pause in-app purchase due to high cost in gas fee and others simply waited for the gas cost to drop a little before initiating any transaction, the EOS Blockchain hopes to solve this and while it is not 100% best, devs are steadily working to ensure they meet this requirement.
