Hello PUBLISH0X community and welcome back in this new article of my “Easy & Short Cryptocurrencies Made Accessible
With this article we are going to introduce the 26th cryptocurrency of this section with the 56th “E&S” article.
Today we will talk about: Tezos (XTZ
In the last token review, I talked about Avalanche. If you missed my last crypto analysis, you can recover it below.
Today we will be looking at an emerging cryptocurrency that is making a lot of buzz: Tezos (XTZ). This is a cryptocurrency that bases its technology on the Proof of Stake protocol and allows you to earn returns automatically through depositing tokens and participating in the transaction validation system in the Tezos network.
What is Tezos?
Tezos (XTZ) is a blockchain network connected to a digital token, which bears the name tez or tezzie. Unlike other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Litecoin, the Tezos network does not rely on tez token mining. Instead, token holders receive a reward for taking part in the "proof-of-stake" algorithm consensus mechanism. The main purpose of Tezos is to have token holders collaborate with each other to make decisions that will improve the cryptocurrency in the future. Tezos' native token symbol is XTZ.
Tezos is a decentralized platform used for the creation of dApps. This cryptocurrency is very similar to Ethereum, in that both the Tezos and Ethereum blockchains support dApps created using smart contracts. Tezos, however, has some unique features that set it apart from Ethereum. The most notable is the network's on-chain governance, which allows holders of XTZ, Tezos' native currency, to vote on future decisions made by the network. The voting feature is designed to avoid community division, which usually results in hard forks or cryptocurrency depreciation.
The self-regulating nature of Tezos' protocol results in a blockchain that is easier to update, while at the same time always being open to adding new features.
Formula 1 fans will probably have noticed that Tezos is a sponsor of the Red Bull and McLaren teams.
Tezos Team
The co-founders, Arthur Breitman and Kathleen Breitman, have been involved with the development of Tezos since 2014, along with a small team of developers. The company is based in Switzerland. The two have secured $232 million in investment in the token ICO in just 2 weeks, accepting contributions in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Currently Breitman is the only founder directly related to Tezos, and others work for the partner organizations Nomadic Labs and OCaml Pro. Arthur Breitman is a French-born computer scientist, mathematician and entrepreneur. Before joining Tezos, he worked in the financial field. He was an early adopter of Bitcoin, but soon discovered its flaws-unable to evolve, leading to countless hard forks. The improvement he proposed is the Tezos project that exists today.
Kathleen Breitman also gained experience in the financial sector, having worked at R3 and Bridgewater Associates before founding Tezos with her husband Arthur. It was her work at R3 that gave her an in-depth understanding of blockchain technology. Although the Tezos project is widely known, there is little information about developers and employees. Most of the work may be performed by a partner company, and there is no team information posted on the Tezos website.
After a little introduction about what Tezos is and who is behind the project, I invite you to follow me so you don't miss the second part of the article that will be released next Sunday.
We'll go more specifically into new features of this project!
