Infinity Stones will run for EOS Block Producer
Hello, EOS Community!
Infinity Stones is based on silicon valley. It provides both cloud management services and cybersecurity protection for blockchains. Its core technology team is composed of Ph.Ds from world-renowned academic institutes and leading industry companies, such as Google, Oracle, UBS Investment Bank, and Georgia Tech.
The company’s cloud service system provides a single point of access to its users, to manage multiple nodes in different cloud environments, automate software provision and node deployment, and monitor blockchain dynamics and cluster health.
Also, the company’s cybersecurity service provides protections on both blockchain system and dApp layers. The blockchain layer security protects the nodes running the EOS software from malicious attack, hence establishing a secure and reliable public chain that guarantees the liveness and high availability. The dApp layer security automatically audits the open-source smart contracts running on the EOS through fully formal verification, hence preventing the DAO similar attack on the EOS.

5 Community benefit project outline, only for projects expected to be public by June 3, 2018
1 The Infinity Stones has assembled a strong technology team of Ph.Ds and Faculties with world-class academic tracking record and leading industry experience. By leveraging these relationships and tracking records, the Infinity Stones can help expand EOS’s influence in the academic community and industry by hosting a series of seminars and workshops in world renowned research institutes as well as industrial meetings. It is a way of marketing EOS to both academia and major enterprises.
2 The Infinity Stones is incubated by Danhua Capital. Danhua Capital is a leading VC investing in cutting-edge technologies, which has over 100 companies in its portfolio across both USA and China. Danhua Capital has invested and is currently incubating a large number of dApp projects that can migrate to or develop a version based on EOS, which will help build up the EOS’s ecosystem.
3 The Infinity Stones’ top-talent experts on the Cyber Security and Cloud Service can help EOS build up a secure and reliable blockchain platform in the following ways. 1) Analyze system level security holes and publishing periodical security patches to protect all block producers from malicious attacks, and 2) Provide highest-level security auditing for all dApps running on the blockchain. The Infinity Stones is very excited to collaborate with EOS on building up the verification tools for the dApps running on EOS.

8 Position on Dividends (The sharing of Block Producer inflation rewards with unaffiliated voters, AKA "vote buying.")
Infinity Stones will never offer payment to EOS token voters for any reason, including Block Producer elections and worker proposals. The goal of Infinity Stones running as a block producer is to boost the EOS ecosystem. We will try our best to use block producer rewards to develop our start of art cloud management systems and enhance the security level of the server.
We also believe one of the best ways to utilize the token rewards is to benefit the EOS community by organizing seminars and workshops, as well as exploring the potential collaboration between EOS and other blockchain technology firms.
We will report the usage of the rewards transparently and publicly every quarter to the EOS community.
