The EOSIO ecosystem continues to evolve at a rapid pace, bringing innovative solutions across decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, cloud storage, and more. With so much happening weekly, staying informed can be overwhelming. That’s where EOS Hot Sauce comes in—your curated digest of the most impactful updates shaping the future of blockchain on EOS and related networks.
DeFi Momentum: Equilibrium, Acueos, and Proxy4Nation
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is gaining serious traction on EOS, and Equilibrium is leading the charge with its EOSDT stablecoin. This week, EOSDT saw a dramatic ~3x surge in 24-hour trading volume on NewDex, signaling growing confidence in automated, trustless financial systems.
EOSDT operates by allowing users to deposit EOS into a smart contract to mint a 1:1 USD-pegged stablecoin. The platform’s governance is powered by the NUT token, which controls voting rights for over 4 million EOS locked in the system. A major upgrade is set for November 2nd, introducing enhanced voting mechanics—supporting more block producers and eliminating recurring voting cycles—for greater decentralization and efficiency.

Equilibrium isn’t stopping there. They’re set to host their first annual Crypto DeFiance event on November 16th in Singapore, gathering top minds from the global DeFi community. It’s a prime opportunity to network, learn, and explore the next wave of financial innovation.
While EOSDT leads in liquidity, it’s not alone. Acueos, launched on October 9th, brings a full suite of DeFi tools to EOS users:
- Earn interest by lending assets
- Use deposits as collateral
- Borrow against collateralized holdings
With support now expanded to include EOSDT, EOS, and CUSD, and plans to integrate more assets, Acueos is building a robust lending ecosystem. For those staking with Proxy4Nation, earning EOSDT rewards has never been easier. We’ve updated our default reward split to 90% EOS and 10% EOSDT, supporting broader adoption of stablecoins in the ecosystem.
Proxy4Nation now supports four assets—EOS, DAPP, USDT, and EOSDT—with customizable reward distributions. Want to optimize your staking strategy? Visit our guide on adjusting proxy rewards for step-by-step instructions.
Bancor Expands to EOS: Creator.eco and Relay Innovation
Bancor, a pioneer in automated market makers (AMMs), is extending its reach beyond Ethereum and making strong moves on EOS. Through the bancor.network wallet, users can seamlessly trade between EOS and Ethereum-based assets using cross-chain BNT relays.
EOS Nation has contributed directly to this expansion by launching the EOS Nation Bancor Relay Portal—a user-friendly interface that allows anyone to add or remove liquidity from Bancor relays on EOS. By participating, users earn fees and own a share of the relay’s value creation.
But Bancor’s most exciting development is Creator.eco, a mass-market platform built on EOS designed for non-crypto users. Content creators can launch their own tradable tokens to reward fans, unlock exclusive content, or offer unique experiences like coaching sessions. These tokens create real demand, turning passive viewers into active advocates.
This model empowers influencers to monetize engagement directly—without intermediaries—while building loyal, token-driven communities.

BOSCore Launches Oracle Solution for dApps
Building scalable decentralized applications (dApps) requires reliable external data—and BOSCore is solving this with the launch of the BOS Oracle.
This new bridging layer securely connects dApps with off-chain data sources using a staking-based incentive model. The system divides roles among:
- Data providers (submit information)
- Data users (dApps consuming data)
- Arbitrators (resolve disputes)
Data providers stake tokens into an “intelligent risk control” escrow rather than directly into dApps, reducing risk and increasing trust. This mechanism allows dApps to offer stronger guarantees to users, paving the way for more complex, real-world applications like insurance, prediction markets, and dynamic NFTs.
WAX Beyond Gaming: vIRL and Advanced Permissions
While WAX is known for gaming and NFTs, its utility extends far beyond. vIRL is a standout example—a platform where digital items represent real-world products that can be instantly sold for cash via OPSkins, traded, gifted, or shipped. Users can profit from unboxing without ever touching the physical item.
It’s a modern twist on reselling culture, powered by EOSIO’s speed and low fees.
Meanwhile, EOS Amsterdam WAX Guild continues to deliver valuable educational content. Their latest tutorial dives into advanced WAX permissions, covering:
- Default account permission structures
- Implementing multisig and wait timers
- Creating custom roles like voteproducer or claimgenesis
These tools enhance security and governance for both developers and enterprise users.
WAX CEO William Quigley is also stepping up outreach through the new “WAX ON” YouTube series. Recent episodes explore critical topics like:
- Why Ethereum may not be ideal for blockchain games
- Pros and cons of the EOS blockchain
- Whether TRON’s valuation is justified
- Building apps vs. dApps
- What Zuckerberg should have said about Libra
New episodes drop weekly—perfect for staying informed on blockchain trends.

Four ITAM titles—DarkTown, The Onion Knights, CryptoFishing, and Spookiz Link Puzzle—are now playable via the Samsung Blockchain Wallet on Galaxy S10 and newer devices. This integration brings blockchain gaming to mainstream smartphone users.
BlockBase: Secure Decentralized Database Storage
BlockBase offers distributed database storage with an economic model linking providers and requesters. Their unique airgrab model distributes 45% of tokens over 24 monthly rounds, with decreasing allocations each month. With only one claim allowed per EOS account, strategy plays a role—who claims early versus who waits?
BlockBase will also represent EOSIO at the Web Summit in Lisbon, marking a major milestone for ecosystem visibility.
KROWN DAC: Multi-Fairdrop Innovation
The KROWN DAC has launched KROWN News, announcing a series of fairdrops rewarding holders of EOS, eosDAC, Karma, IQ, BOID, and others. By spreading rewards over multiple events, KROWN promotes long-term engagement over one-time grabs.
