Voice is releasing on February 14th but will need to use a private EOSIO chain to be able to support it. Though it doesn’t explicitly say so, it’s due to the high CPU consumption on the public blockchain. Let’s talk about it.

This is where I first read and became of aware of the fact that Voice wasn’t actually releasing on the EOS public chain: https://messari.io/article/block-one-s-social-media-app-voice-will-not-initially-launch-on-eos

Then I confirmed this by going to their FAQ and reading their answer for “Where will Voice be hosted?” here: https://voice.com/faq/

Exactly what it says is: “While Voice is in beta and a highly iterative state, it will be run on a purpose-made EOSIO blockchain. In time, we would like Voice to leverage the EOS Public Blockchain, and potentially others that can meet the performance and governance demands of Voice.”

It also says that it will potentially utilize others and that it would like to leverage the public EOS blockchain, but given it’s never fixed, it will 100% utilize other chains.
