Just like EOS or Telos, Ethereum is a blockchain — a decentralized digital ledger. Ethereum is considered to be a trailblazer of programmable blockchains, aiming to solve the inherent problems of BTC — the first cryptocurrency. Ethereum is based on a different type of underlying protocol, which makes some things drastically different from EOSIO. EOS & Telos themselves, in turn, were created to improve on things that made Ethereum less user-friendly — high costs, high entry barrier, high amounts of power consumption, vulnerability to sybil attacks and so on.

Ethereum utilizes a different operational logic — this also includes confirming transactions. As a proof-of-work network, Ethereum requires many decentralized nodes to reach a consensus on whether to allow a transaction or not — as well as miners to create new blocks. This goes both for daily use of the blockchain and mining operations. For every transaction, miners receive rewards as transaction fees. There are also operational costs or so-called gas fees. EOS and Telos rely on a delegated-proof-of-stake mechanism. Meaning, all elected 21 block producers chosen from most voted for major EOS or TLOS holders, are in charge of the network’s operation. EOS and Telos cannot be mined, and so resources consumed by those blockchains come from the tokens staked by users — or through the Power Up function. By default, Wombat covers 10 free actions on EOS and 20 free actions on Telos. Please keep in mind that we do not cover transaction and gas fees on Ethereum.

Open your Wombat wallet and navigate to Settings. From there, go to Keys & Accounts and choose Ethereum. You will see an option to create an address. If you already have an ETH address and would like to import it to Wombat, please read this article.

Open your Wombat wallet and navigate to Settings. From there

You will find your ETH address in Wombat’s Settings > Keys & Accounts > Ethereum.

In brief, CPU, NET and RAM are resources that the EOS network operates on. CPU is the processing power of EOS. Essentially, it’s the amount of time a block producer should dedicate to processing your transactions. NET reflects the space on the network allocated for your transactions while they are being broadcasted to the blockchain. After a transaction is successfully executed, the records of it will be stored on the EOS blockchain. This is where RAM comes into play. Information about your keys and balances also needs some space on the network, and the amount of RAM indicates your allowance for it. Think back to every time you had to install an app — it usually takes a certain amount of time to do it, as well as pre-allocated space. And typically, the space it takes on the device differs from the one you see in the download manager, especially after you use it for a while. With this analogy in mind, imagine your device could only process downloads for a limited time — that would be your CPU resource, download ‘speed’ would correspondingly be NET, and the actual space an app takes on the drive — the RAM on your account.

Like EOS, Telos is a decentralized blockchain-powered platform. Moreover, it was based on EOS. The key difference that matters for users is lower resources costs. Using Telos-based dApps and games will feel natural if you’ve worked with EOS before — you will see a lot of familiar concepts like CPU, NET, RAM, block producers, staking and so forth.

By default, we direct users to telos.bloks.io. Other EOS block explorers are mostly compatible with Telos as well and can provide all the necessary information. You may also consider one of the Telos-only explorers: Telos Tracker Teloscoin Explorer Telos Foundation Explorer

To get more CPU, you would need to stake some TLOS for it, so make sure you have enough balance. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Open Wombat and find the URL bar in Explorer Paste this link there and proceed: https://eosauthority.com/wallet/unstake?network=telos Tap on Manage CPU/RAM On desktop: Open https://eosauthority.com/wallet/unstake?network=telos & log in with Wombat Choose your stake. If you think you will only make one transaction per day, 15 TLOS should be enough. If you plan to move funds a lot or work with dApps actively, consider a range between 130-390 TLOS. Using the same process, you can always unstake EOS — be advised that it will be unlocked only after 72 hours waiting period.

Akin to EOS, RAM on Telos needs to be bought. You can get more on telos.bloks.io. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Go to Wallet in the lower section of the screen Tap on Menu in the upper right corner Tap on Buy/Sell RAM On desktop: Click on the wallet tab right under the search bar Click on Buy/Sell RAM Just like with CPU, the amount of RAM you need depends on your network usage. Consider this when choosing the amount of RAM to buy.

Akin to EOS, RAM on WAX needs to be bought. You can get more on wax.bloks.io. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Open wax.bloks.io in Wombat’s Explorer Go to Wallet in the lower section of the screen Tap on Menu in the upper right corner Tap on Buy/Sell RAM On desktop: Click on the wallet tab right under the search bar Click on Buy/Sell RAM Just like with CPU, the amount of RAM you need depends on your network usage. Consider this when choosing the amount of RAM to buy.

To get more CPU or NET, you would need to stake some WAX for it, so make sure you have enough on your balance. To stake WAX for CPU/NET, open wax.bloks.io and log in with your Wombat wallet. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Go to Wallet in the lower section of the screen Tap on Menu in the upper right corner Tap on Stake CPU/NET On desktop: Click on the Wallet tab right under the search bar Click on Stake CPU/NET Using the same process, you can always unstake EOS — be advised that it will be unlocked only after 72 hours waiting period. If you don’t want to stake resources, you can always pay a one-time fee for processing your transaction. Simply proceed with the transaction and, if you don’t have enough resources, you will be prompted to either top them up or pay.

The way CPU, NET and RAM power your WAX account is identical to EOS. The major differences for you as a user are that WAX does not support Power Ups and that you can simply pay a transaction fee instead of topping up resources. We cover the nature of these resources in detail in the EOS section, but to reiterate briefly: CPU determines how much time a block producer will dedicate to processing your transactions. NET is the bandwidth of your transactions, i.e. how much space can be allocated to them during processing. RAM is your data storage cap for all information considering your account — ownership, keys, balances, etc.

By default, you can sign 20 WAX transactions per day without depleting your CPU and NET. However, it may happen that you still see a Greymass-branded popup prompting you to pay for the transaction. If you still have free actions, please close this popup and sign the transaction.

First, make sure you have the latest Wombat version installed. To create an account name on WAX, open Wombat’s Settings, proceed to Keys & Accounts and choose WAX. You will be prompted to create an account name.

To create an account name on WAX, open Wombat’s Settings, proceed to Keys & Accounts and choose WAX. You will be prompted to create an account name. Choose the import option — you will see it right below the ‘Create Account’ button.

To get more CPU/NET, you would need to power your account up. Make sure you have enough EOS balance for it. To Power Up your CPU/NET for EOS, go to bloks.io and login with your Wombat wallet. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Go to Wallet in the lower section of the screen Tap on Menu in the upper right corner Tap on Power Up CPU and NET On desktop: Click on the Wallet tab right under the search bar Click on Power Up CPU and NET Choose the needed amount. If you think you will only make one transaction per day, 1 EOS should be enough. If you plan to move funds a lot or work with dApps actively, consider a range between 1-3 EOS.

EOS is a decentralized blockchain-based platform designed to support dApps at an industrial scale. Meaning, the EOS ecosystem enables decentralized applications of all kinds to run with lower latency and higher throughput — compared to other major blockchains. Besides dApps, a major part of the EOS ecosystem is the EOS token. Apart from working as a store of value, the token plays an essential role in the network’s resource management. To be eligible for using these resources, users & dApp developers must stake EOS to increase their quotas and continue operating on the platform. Last but not least, the EOS blockchain is being governed by block producers, a network of entities that create new blocks, where all transactions on the EOS blockchain are recorded. To put it simply, if EOS was a ledger book, the block producers would be in charge of putting in new pages.

The way CPU, NET and RAM power your Telos account are identical to EOS. The major difference for you as a user is lower resources cost. We cover the nature of these resources in detail in the EOS section, but to reiterate briefly: CPU determines how much time a block producer will dedicate to processing your transactions. NET is the bandwidth of your transactions, i.e. how much space can be allocated to them during processing.

Unlike CPU, RAM doesn’t require staking, it needs to be bought instead. You can get more on bloks.io. The flow is a bit different, depending on the device you’re using. On mobile: Type bloks.io into the search bar of Wombat’s Explorer and open the website Go to Wallet in the lower section of the screen Tap on Menu in the upper right corner Tap on Buy/Sell RAM On desktop: Click on the wallet tab right under the search bar Click on Buy/Sell RAM Just like with CPU, the amount of RAM you need depends on your network usage. Similarly to EOS, if you’re looking to use dApps and/or move funds frequently, getting 1-3 EOS worth of RAM should have you covered. Otherwise, 0.1 EOS is an optimal starting point.

There are plenty of block explorers for EOS. You will most likely see bloks.io in other Help Center articles, but apart from that, you can also use: EOS Tracker EOS Flare EOS Park MyEOSKit Explorer EOS Query EOSDAC Explorer EOS Web EOS Meta EOS Monitor EOS Auhority
