Block.one is the publisher of the EOS.IO blockchain software, which is heading for its mainnet launch in June 2018. The company held one of the most successful ICOs in the history, raising around $700 million through EOS token sale.
EOS is currently the fifth most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap and is trading at $10.76 at press time.
Last week, Block.one announced an initial $3 million commitment to the Department of Computer Science in Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering to help students build skills in blockchain.
