BOS Tokens has resources that give token holders access to build on BOS. This is on a pro-rata basis meaning that if you have 1 BOS, you have one unit of RAM, CPU, and Bandwidth and if you have 100 BOS, you have 100 units of access and so on. BOS is the ideal platform for developers and developers are going to prefer to build on BOS because of the following reasons:

- BOS has a low requirement for resources (RAM, CPU, and Bandwidth).
- The cost of starting a dApp on BOSCore is much cheaper than those on EOS or any other blockchain.
- BOS IBC would make BOS attractive to developers who want their applications to be used by multiple blockchains.

Use BOS DApps
According to an article by Blocksiam, YIYOU, has partnered with BOSCore, Huobi Pool, Tokenpocket Wallet, Starteos Wallet and Unico, a gaming distribution platform, aiming to bring more games to the BOS Blockchain and EOS.IO ecosystem.
You can view other BOS dApps on https://dapptotal.com/bos. Many more awesome applications and tools are coming to BOS.
BOS is still in the early stages and it’s a very auspicious project. A free port for the Blockchain world is necessary to foster better relationships and coordination among dApps and blockchains. Everyone should have a BOS account. Everyone should have some BOS Tokens. In the coming months, there is going to be many dApps and services on BOS and the value of the network would keep growing. According to Mr. Huaqiang Wen, initiator of BOSCore and CTO of Huobi Pool, BOS is not only a side chain of EOS, but it will also become a side chain of other public chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. When this happens, people would desire to build on BOS because it cuts across all cryptocurrency communities and embraces all.
