“Little used blockchain with massive treasury reserve” That is how Forbes summarised Tezos. Many use this to attack and not invest in these blockchains. However as most will agree, i don’t believe it is warranted. Tezos has massively developed since the early days, pioneered many features and still is regarded as a state of the art blockchain.

Xtz.news, however, writes great articles, almost on a daily basis, highlighting adoptio ..read more

Hi all, my name is Eli and I’m the owner of Tez Blocks bakery. Every vote period me and some other bakers send posts out on X, urging bakers to vote. We do this because we care about Tezos and its advancement in technology. I propose to make voting mandatory and the removal of the quorum. Just as with baking blocks, taking part in on-chain Governance is a bakers responsibility. If a bakers bakes blocks the wrong way, they risk punishment by being slashed, so why not for voting aswell, except not as harsh. My suggestion, First if a baker doesn’t vote in the process, they should get punished. Th ..read more

Almost. We have the blocks, but some are missing. ‍ What is account abstraction and why does it matter? ‍ On Tezos we have two kinds of accounts: implicit account: linked to a manager which owns a private key and public key pair. originated account (aka smart contract): created with an origination operation. They don’t have a private key and public key pair. ‍ Blockchain security relies on cryptographic signatures to authenticate the author of an operation. Most wallets like Ledger, Temple, Airgap or Kukai are devices or applications vaulting your private keys in order to ease the use of blo ..read more
