<p class="is-style-lead">As the deadline approaches for the decision to opt out of the existing $22 million settlement with Block.one (B1), the company responsible for the initial sale of EOS in a $4 billion initial coin offering (ICO) back in 2018, the EOS Network Foundation (ENF) has advised its community members to carefully consider their options.</p> 
<p>The ENF argues that the current settlement might not adequately compensate community members for their losses due to B1’s alleged “misrepresentations and wrongful actions.”</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-minuscule-portion-to-pay-back">A minuscule portion to pay back</h2> 
<p>On Aug. 8, the ENF pointed out that B1 had only paid $22 million of the $4 billion raised, which included an unrealized commitment of $1 billion for the EOS Network and its community.</p>

<p>ENF explains that those who accept the settlement may be barred from future legal action against B1 and its founders.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Critics argue that $22 million is inadequate for B1 to avoid accountability.&nbsp;</p>
