Tezos
About
Tezos is a decentralized, open-source proof-of-stake blockchain network that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications. Built with an emphasis on formal verification, the protocol allows developers to mathematically prove the correctness of smart contract code to enhance security for high-value applications. The platform features an on-chain governance mechanism that enables self-amendment, allowing the network to incorporate technological upgrades and protocol enhancements through token holder voting without requiring hard network forks. Operating on an energy-efficient liquid proof-of-stake consensus model, the infrastructure supports native Layer 2 scaling solutions, data availability layers, and cross-chain execution environments for global decentralized finance, gaming, and digital assets.

Operations
Products and/or services of Tezos
- Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake Blockchain: Open-source blockchain protocol using liquid proof-of-stake consensus to process transactions, deploy smart contracts, and execute decentralized applications while maintaining formal verification capabilities for mission-critical digital asset security and code mathematical correctness.
- Etherlink Layer 2 Network: EVM-compatible Layer 2 rollup powered by Smart Rollup technology, enabling Ethereum-based smart contracts and decentralized finance protocols to execute with low transaction fees, sub-second block times, non-custodial fraud proofs, and rapid settlement finality.
- Data Availability Layer: Protocol-level decentralized data storage framework designed to scale Layer 2 rollup bandwidth up to ten megabytes per second, supporting high-throughput decentralized applications, real-time gaming, dynamic network attestations, and high-frequency financial trading platforms.
- Smart Rollups Framework: Native optimistic Layer 2 scaling infrastructure allowing developers to deploy dedicated execution environments compiled to WebAssembly, providing scalable compute capacity, custom application logic, and decentralized state transitions validated directly by mainnet bakers.
- On-Chain Self-Amendment System: Multi-stage decentralized governance protocol enabling token holders to propose, evaluate, test, and approve mainnet software updates directly on-chain, facilitating continuous technological adaptation and features deployment without causing disruptive chain split hard forks.
- Native Staking and Bakery Consensus: Staking mechanism allowing native token holders to validate blocks or delegate token rights to network validators, earning participation rewards while securing the blockchain through adaptive issuance and dynamic baker attestation cycles.
