Tezos

Tezos is an open-source platform headquartered in Luxembourg, established in 2014. It operates as a decentralized, peer-to-peer network without a single controlling entity, emphasizing community involvement among validators, researchers, and developers. The platform is distinguished by its self-amending cryptographic ledger, which enhances security and code correctness for assets and applications. Tezos supports formal verification, a method that ensures the reliability of smart contracts by mathematically proving their accuracy. This functionality allows users to participate in a decentralized governance system, fostering innovation and collaboration within its community. The Tezos Foundation, based in Switzerland, plays a supportive role in promoting the platform's development and is dedicated to advancing new technologies in decentralized software architecture. Through grants and resources, the Foundation assists community members, including developers and educational institutions, in furthering the Tezos project, which aims to drive global technological innovation.
