## Everyone has been breathlessly awaiting tomorrow's big VC announcement. EOS general chat blasted through 26k users early this morning and is nearing 27k within the same day. 

## For context, we passed 24k users five days ago and 22k four days before that, so the rate of growth had been slowing since Jan. 13 but suddenly picked up today in advance of the Jan. 23 announcement. Here's a table:
