It is a revolutionary project in the full sense of the word!, The percentage of the difference between EOS and the secondly ranked project exceeds 93%. Not only that; but also the proportion of all the raised funds for all 171 projects -listed in Wikipedia page for highest-funded crowdfunding projects- do not constitute 65% of what EOS has raised alone!
