Let me explain to someone unfamiliar with EOS.<p>In contrast to Ethereum where user of a DApp pays for each transaction, EOS aims to make use of DApps free for end users.<p>It is achieved by shifting burden to DApp developers, so for each kilobyte of state a contract stores for a user, developer must buy “RAM” which costs $4/KB as of right now [1].<p>Price of “RAM” which is actually a permanent storage, is driven by market system which supposed to produce fair price, but currently is subject of high speculation [1].<p>EOS leadership stated that they don’t plan to increase RAM supply significantly from current 64Gb, which led to 6x “RAM” price rise in a couple hours after that.<p>[1] <a href="https://eos.feexplorer.io/" rel="nofollow">https://eos.feexplorer.io/</a>
