	The EOS.IO software design switches from the more popular consensus over state to the less familiar consensus over events (Grigg, 2017-1). This approach marries the event sourcing pattern to a blockchain made of events rather than state.
	— Ian Grigg

Under EOSIO Dawn 3.0, the vast majority of the blockchain business logic has moved into a smart contract which can be dynamically updated by the community without a hard fork. A bare-bones EOSIO blockchain is now a single producer without any tokens, voting, or delegated proof-of-stake. The only thing implemented in the core blockchain code is the permission system which includes the ability to create accounts, deploy contracts, and enforce resource quotas. Everything that makes the blockchain Delegated Proof of Stake including the token, voting, staking, and resource allocation is now defined by the Web Assembly based system contract.
