What is Tezos?

Tezos is a long-running Layer 1 alternative (i.e. the smart contract platforms that emerged after Ethereum). Like Ethereum, Tezos is used to power an array of web3 dApps, DeFi, NFTs and more.

Tezos uses what it calls a liquid Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which operates in a similar fashion to regular PoS systems, but also allows users to loan their token staking rights to others to improve their chances of ‘mining’ the next block and receiving new XTZ. In the Tezos ecosystem, the act of pushing verified blocks to the blockchain is known as ‘baking’.

XTZ is the native token of the Tezos network. It’s used to power dApps and pay for transaction costs, as well as granting governance voting rights to holders.

Where can I store my Tezos?

However, exchanges such as CoinJar also provide excellent security, keeping more than 90% of our crypto in cold storage or private, multi-sig wallets and offering our users next-gen 2FA account protection as default.

The best way to buy XTZ in the U.S. is through a trusted exchange like CoinJar. We offer accurate prices, low fees and an easy-to-use, ultra-secure app.

Who created Tezos?

Husband-and-wife team Arthur and Kathleen Breitman first proposed the idea of Tezos in a whitepaper they published in 2014. After raising US$232 million in a 2017 ICO, the first Tezos block was created in June 2018.

With CoinJar Instant Buy you can buy Tezos with any locally-issued card. We also offer support for Apple and Google Pay.

How is the price of Tezos determined?

The price of XTZ in GBP is determined by the international Tezos market – basically, the price to be found on cryptocurrency exchanges in the UK and all around the world.

These prices tend to be the same (or very close) because any differences are smoothed out by arbitrage traders that buy at one exchange and sell at another.
