What is Tezos and How Does It Work?
Tezos is an open-source blockchain platform launched in 2018 by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman. The platform was designed to address key limitations in existing blockchain networks through its unique self-amending protocol, which allows the network to upgrade itself without requiring hard forks. This governance mechanism enables XTZ token holders to vote on proposed protocol upgrades, making Tezos one of the first truly self-governing blockchain networks.
The platform uses a liquid proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called “baking” where XTZ holders can participate in network validation or delegate their tokens to validators. Tezos supports smart contracts and decentralized applications, with a focus on formal verification to ensure code security. The network has become popular for NFT marketplaces, DeFi applications, and enterprise blockchain solutions due to its energy efficiency and robust governance model.
