The most important indicator that could be concluded from this graph is that the raised funds by all these famous and large projects did not constitute more than a quarter of what the EOS project has raised. 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!

What could EOS offer to the world?!
EOS aims to establish a secure and transparent system; suitable enough to offer a management system for both local and global monetary transactions, providing an alternative to the current banking system.
Not only that, but also it aims to offer itself as an appropriate system capable of running elections and referendums; where the blockchain technology could be used to guarantee its credibility and protection from fraud and rigging. Also, EOS aims to create a global digital identity to be used to travel across countries and enabling the ownership of different properties.
