EOS Network Foundation Urges Community to Reject $22 Million Block.one Settlement

blockchain.news:

In a current class action lawsuit in the United States, the EOS Network Foundation (ENF) has openly pushed the EOS community to reject the proposed settlement with Block.one, the business that created the EOS blockchain. On August 8, 2023, the information was published on the ENF's official Twitter account.

The EOS Network Foundation is a group with the mission of using decentralization to plan a coordinated future for the EOS Network as an agent of good in the world.

Details of the Settlement

The proposed settlement pertains to the ongoing class action against Block.one, and details can be found at the settlement website. The settlement amount is $22 million, a figure that the ENF has criticized as being inadequate.

According to the ENF's statement, «The proposed settlement amount of $22 million represents a tiny fraction of the $4 billion that Block.one raised from the community in its ICO sale and the $1 billion that Block.one promised to invest in the EOS Network and community, but failed to do.»

ENF's Stance

The ENF has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the terms of the settlement, stating that it does not adequately compensate community members for losses suffered due to Block.one's «misrepresentations and bad acts.» Furthermore, the ENF emphasizes that the settlement would bar class members' rights to seek fair and just resolution to their claims in the future.

The ENF's statement further reads: "$22 million is too small a price for Block.one to pay to avoid having to be held to account for their bad acts in the future."

Call to Action

The ENF is urging community members to opt out of the settlement, sending a message to Block.one and the court that the settlement is inadequate. The deadline to opt
