The EOS network experienced severe congestion due to the first inscription eoss minting, causing intermittent suspension of transfers and minting services.

TechFlow reported on December 9 that after the EOS network introduced an inscription minting event inspired by Bitcoin Ordinals—specifically the "eoss" inscription activity—the network experienced prolonged delays in transaction processing. According to EOS block status monitoring data, from the afternoon onward, over a million transactions were queued for processing, severely clogging transaction throughput on the EOS blockchain. Affected by this congestion, EOS saw its spot price rise more than 10% during the session.

The "eoss" inscription is a blockchain-based digital collectible launched on the EOS blockchain by the project's Twitter account https://twitter.com/EOSS_eos. There are a total of 21 million eoss inscriptions, each containing 10,000 tokens.
