Previously, U.Today wrote that this may well be a decentralized social media platform, judging by the MEOS trademark that Block.One has acquired recently. An earlier tweet on the company’s founder Dan Larimer seems to confirm this assumption.
What if you could decentralize social media more than steemit? The future of social media is thousands of blockchains under independent governance coordinating with inter-chain communication behind a seamless user experience.

Some sources also speculate that Block.One is about to announce not a social media but a crypto wallet.
The recently conducted purchase of RAM for an impressive amount of $25 mln also confirms that something definitely important and big is due to take place.
