# Why EOSIO?

Why did SOV choose EOSIO?

EOS is at the forefront of blockchain technology. It has already achieved TPS in the thousands and it has the ability to scale infinitely. This allows tokens and digital assets on EOS to transact nearly instantaneously, which makes the use of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) as seamless as a centralized exchange. The ability to use EOS DEXs gives SOV a competitive edge in its deflation mechanism and security that can't be understated.

Note : EOSIO was the blockchain protocol previously used in EOS. Now EOS and all former EOSIO-based blockchains have migrated to the Antelope protocol.
