About Tezos blockchain

Operating from Switzerland, Tezos was founded in 2014 by Arthur Breitman and Kathleen Breitman, along with a group of core developers. It is owned by Dynamic Ledger Solutions (DLS). Unlike other blockchains, Tezos ruled out the possibilities of hard forks and blockchain splits as their governance mechanism adopts and instills the protocol upgrades carefully chosen by the voting process, which is proportional to the users’ economic stake in Tezos.

France native Arthur Breitman was an engineer at Google X and Waymo (Morgan Stanley). He developed the concept, the company, and his wife, Kathleen. The two met at an Anarcho-Capitalist meetup in New York. Developed the concept. During his tenure at Morgan Stanley in 2014, he published a white paper with a pseudonym, drawing three principles of Tezos.

It works on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism for validating transactions, allowing it to be faster and use much less energy than Bitcoin mining. They had a very successful ICO in June 2017, managed by Tezos Foundation and raised $232 million in 2 weeks. They accepted contributions in both Ethereum and Bitcoin. The 13 days of the ICO saw nearly 66,000 BTC and 361,000 ETH collected.

Just after the ICO, there were some management issues. The head of the Tazos Foundation held all the funds, and they refused to release the funds to its co-founders. This attracted a lot of media attention, but soon the issues were resolved, and the project worked on the intended path.

Tez hit their top of $8 in October 2021, eventually declining to just $2 in June 2022. At the time of writing, Tezos has $22.39 million of Total Value Locked (TVL), with a positive change of 10.58%. Its Liquidity Bank Dominance is 86.48%.
