The third round of blockchain rankings has been released by the Chinese government. Yet again, China ranks EOS number one.

The rankings, released by the government-backed China Electronic Information Industry Development (CCID), evaluate the public blockchain networks with three different metrics. The metrics include technology, applicability, and innovation.

CCID released its first set of rankings back on May 16th, where Ethereum was ranked the world’s top blockchain network.

As you can see from the first rankings, EOS wasn’t included at all. The second set of rankings were released back on June 21st, and EOS overtook Ethereum for the number one spot. Surprisingly, NEO, China’s version of Ethereum, has yet to make a number one appearance on the rankings.

NEO became fully backed by the Chinese government when the country started implementing all of its crypto regulations and its government firewall.

The second set of top 10 rankings were as follows:

EOS
Ethereum
NEO
Stellar
Lisk
Nebulas
Steem
BitShares
Ripple
Qtum

China Ranks EOS Number One… Again

The new set of rankings released yesterday has left EOS and Ethereum in their same places. EOS is still at the top despite all of the complications the project faced when it launched its main net.

The evaluators must be impressed with EOS’ consensus algorithm, which uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) that prioritizes speed and scaling at the expense of some decentralization.

Ethereum, however, is currently still using a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm but has recently published a roadmap to transition to PoS.
