Community-Driven Project Antelope: A Fully Decentralized EOSIO Fork
The community-driven blockchain protocol Antelope has announced that it is forking from EOSIO 2.0. This marks a significant step towards a more decentralized and community-led future for the technology. Secure Community-driven protocol Antelope has forked and rebranded the EOSIO 2.0 codebase through a coalition of four EOSIO protocol-based blockchains led by the EOS Network Foundation.
What is Antelope?
Antelope is a community-run blockchain protocol based on a fork from EOSIO released in August 2025 with a public release of the Antelope Github repository along with a new project website. The rebranding has been in the works for some time now. EOS, Telos, Wax, and UX Network community members will form a coalition. Antelope demonstrates how a community-led program with aligned goals and common visions can pool resources together to make a difference.
A Fully Decentralized Future for EOSIO
Community-driven project Antelope has announced that it has forked from EOSIO. This fork represents a commitment to full decentralization, empowering the community to shape the future of the blockchain protocol. Under the leadership of the Antelope coalition, the project aims to address key limitations of the original EOSIO codebase and unlock its full potential.
Antelope: More Than Just a Fork
Antelope is more than just a fork; it's a collaborative effort to build a robust and scalable blockchain infrastructure. In the coming months, the coalition behind Antelope looks to introduce Faster Finality and Inter-blockchain Communication (IBC) between Antelope-powered blockchains. This will enable greater interoperability and unlock new use cases for the technology. The Antelope coalition represents a strong foundation for innovation and growth within the blockchain space.
This community-driven project is poised to revolutionize the blockchain landscape by offering a truly decentralized and community-governed alternative to EOSIO.
