Dan Larimer resigned as CTO of block.one, the company behind the EOS blockchain.

"I will continue on my mission to create free market, voluntary solutions for securing life, liberty, property, and justice for all. I do not know exactly what is next, but I am leaning toward building more censorship resistant technologies.
