Greetings r/CryptoCurrency and thank you to this incredible community for hosting us,

we represent the Tezos Ecosystem, a proof-of-stake blockchain aiming to be ‘Smart Money’ and we're here to answer your questions regarding Tezos.

You can check out some cool recent product launches on Tezos like HomeBase (DAO platform), OpenMinter (NFT platform), Kolibri (DeFi platform), Dexter Exchange (DEX) and hic et nunc (NFT marketplace), all built by different organizations from across the Tezos Ecosystem. Some other cool things built by the community is Kukai wallet that lets anyone send tez or NFTs to anyone with a Reddit or Twitter handle.

What is Tezos?

Tezos is smart money, redefining what it means to hold and exchange value in a digitally connected world. A self-upgradable blockchain with a proven track record, Tezos seamlessly adopts tomorrow's innovations without network disruptions today. Tezos is also built to incentivize developers, any developer can submit a protocol upgrade with an invoice attached and the community of Bakers (validators) will be able to vote on the protocol upgrade with Tezos built in governance mechanism. To date, Tezos has had 5 protocol upgrades and the 6th one was proposed just last week! You can check it out on the Tezos Governance Explorer to view the voting activity.
