What is Tezos?
Tezos is an open-source blockchain that launched in 2018, created by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman. It was built to work around a common limitation of earlier networks by using a self-amending protocol, which lets the chain upgrade itself without the hard forks that split other blockchains.
That upgrade process is decided on-chain. XTZ holders vote on proposed protocol changes, making Tezos one of the earliest self-governing blockchain networks. The chain runs on a liquid proof-of-stake system known as baking, where XTZ holders either validate transactions themselves or delegate their tokens to a validator and share in the rewards.
Tezos supports smart contracts and decentralised applications, with an emphasis on formal verification to help keep contract code secure. The network is used for NFT marketplaces, DeFi applications, and enterprise projects, helped by its energy-efficient consensus and its structured approach to governance. XTZ itself pays transaction fees, powers smart contracts, and carries voting rights.
