What is Tezos?

Tezos is an open-source, “proof-of-stake”, platform that addresses key barriers facing blockchain adoption for assets and applications backed by a global community of validators, researchers, and builders. By design, Tezos is energy-efficient, and embraces long-term upgradability, open participation, collaboration, and smart contract safety. Tezos is a pioneering layer 1 “proof-of-stake” blockchain recognized as an energy-efficient alternative to more traditional “proof-of-work” blockchains. The total annual carbon footprint of the Tezos blockchain is equivalent to the average energy footprint of 17 global citizens. Please visit Tezos.com for  more information.
