About Tezos
Tezos is a cryptocurrency and decentralized computing platform. Its features include proof of stake consensus, formal verification (which lets developers verify the correctness of their code), and the ability to let stakeholders vote on changes to the protocol. Tezos's block creation process is called "baking" — Tezos holders who stake their tokens can receive Tezos tokens as a reward for creating and verifying blocks.

FAQ
Tezos (XTZ) is a blockchain network designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications, similar to Ethereum, but with a key focus on self-amendment and on-chain governance. It aims to create an infrastructure that can evolve over time without the need for hard forks, which have historically split other blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Tezos allows token holders to participate in governance by voting on protocol upgrades, fostering a community-driven approach. The platform uses a smart contract language designed for precision, making it suitable for high-value use cases. As an open-source project, Tezos strives to remain adaptable and relevant in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.
Tezos employs a unique governance mechanism called "baking," where participants, known as bakers, stake 8,000 XTZ to validate transactions and propose protocol upgrades. Bakers participate in a four-step voting process that spans about 23 days, during which proposed changes are reviewed and voted on. Proposals supported by the majority undergo a 48-hour testing phase and are implemented if they gain super-majority approval. Tezos operates on a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, allowing any stakeholder to become a validator by making a security deposit. Validators are rewarded for their contributions, incentivizing honest behavior and ensuring network security.
Tezos is designed to serve as a platform for high-value applications, including digital currencies, asset tokenization, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Its precise smart contract language makes it suitable for applications requiring high accuracy, such as financial services and legal agreements. The platform's on-chain governance model allows users to influence protocol development, attracting those interested in democratic participation. Additionally, Tezos' energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake consensus appeals to eco-conscious projects, making it a potential choice for sustainable blockchain solutions, including green NFTs and environmentally-friendly DeFi platforms.
Tezos was first conceptualized in a white paper published in September 2014 by Arthur Breitman, writing under the pseudonym L. M. Goodman. Arthur and his wife, Kathleen Breitman, founded Dynamic Ledger Solutions to develop the Tezos protocol. After several delays, the Tezos mainnet launched in 2018. A token sale in July 2017 raised 65,681 BTC and 361,122 ETH, totaling approximately $232 million at the time, marking one of the largest initial coin offerings (ICOs) in blockchain history. Since its launch, Tezos has continued to evolve, with its community actively participating in governance and contributing to the platform’s ongoing development.
