What is Tezos (XTZ)

How Does it Work

Tezos facilitates and manages decentralized software and smart contracts. Their mainnet went online in 2018 and has since grown steadily. They are also gaining momentum to be Ethereum Network’s contender. Tezos achieved one of the biggest fundraisings in the crypto market for their blockchain startup back in 2017. They manage to raise $232 million and flourished during the bear market. So, how does Tezos achieve its success?

Tezo’s concept revolves around “self-amending blockchain”. The idea is quite straightforward. All XTZ token holders can vote on potential changes to the platform. Once the voting is done, the protocol will automatically upgrade the changes instead of developers. This will guarantee that the changes are implemented. They also believe that this will lessen the possibility that the blockchain might fork, accidentally creating two different cryptocurrencies with different values.

Tezos writes its smart contracts using unique Michelson programming. It is often a higher-level language such as SmartPy, Ligo, or Archetype. You will then use XTZ tokens as gas fees and carry out any network transactions. It is quite amazing because Tezos is effectively changing the blockchain’s taxonomy. They have successfully divided governance into two groups. It is respectively the “off-chain governance” and “on-chain governance”.

Tezos users will cast votes through a procedure known as “baking”. This will lock their XTZ possession in the contract. Furthermore, users can obtain freshly minted XTZ by becoming “bakers” or sending XTZ to other bakers. You can find out more details on their official website.
