Statement Regarding EOS Name and Logo Use, and a Reminder to Stay Cautious of Scams

It has come to our attention that someone has made unauthorized use of the EOS name and logo at Madison Square Garden, New York City on January 28th, 2018. We wish to emphasize that no one connected with block.one or the EOS project is involved with this use. If anyone has information about the identity of these people using the EOS name and logo, please provide the information to us via email at [email protected]. Again, this use of the EOS name and logo is not authorized and we have no part in this publicity.

We understand that the EOS name and logo are an important and celebrated part of our community that all of us are building together. The enthusiasm of the EOS community is what makes being a part of this project so exciting. Our official goal remains to educate audiences on the EOS.IO software and the power of blockchain technology through conferences, meetups, and other official platforms.

Further, please be reminded that all official information from block.one about the EOS project can be found through official channels, specifically the eos.io website: https://eos.io/.
