What is #RAM? As the memory resource of EOS, a series of operations on the EOS chain need to consume RAM to store data, such as creating accounts, creating smart contracts, transferring money, etc. As RAM bids farewell to inflation mode and EOS reaches a consensus on the new token economics, the community's attention to $RAM is increasing day by day. If you are just starting to pay attention to the EOS ecosystem and are curious about RAM, then you might as well read this long push: #RAMwas first launched in June 2018 and is essential to the operation of EOS. It not only acts as a storage medium, but also saves the working state of the chain in physical memory to achieve performance goals. The state includes elements such as contract tables, account permissions, and structures that promote lightweight verification. It can be said that RAM is a basic component that supports the overall performance and functionality of the EOS ecosystem. Currently, anyone can use $EOS to purchase $RAM to use the precious memory resources on EOS. EOS uses a free market system to allocate limited RAM. This free market uses an automatic market maker mechanism (AMM), which is controlled by the Bancor Relay algorithm and is dynamically priced. On December 17, 2023, the#EOSNetwork Foundation passed a proposal to stop the inflation of #RAM. The reason is that as the supply of RAM begins to exceed 400GB, the network is oversupplied and the hardware costs of maintaining the network are also increasing, which may eventually hinder the further decentralization of the network. So far this year, #EOS has made major updates to the#RAMsystem, enhancing flexibility, efficiency, and overall practicality. For example, transferable RAM allows users to transfer RAM between accounts without paying any fees; RAM applications provide basic functions for EOS RAM management; RAM automatic market maker system ensures that $RAM prices are adjusted in real time according to market demand, and so on. Today, the $EOS new token economics proposal has been passed, and both the EOS native network and the EOS EVM network have shown a huge increase in demand for #RAM. In recent months, inscriptions and NFTs have acted as the forefront of creating demand. As RAM demonstrates its growing role in the ecosystem, projects aiming to tokenize RAM have emerged:
