Tezos News

Tezos is a proof-of-stake blockchain network that’s designed as a platform for deploying smart contracts. Like Ethereum, it’s intended to function as a decentralized global computer on which developers can create decentralized apps (dapps). It differs in that it features an on-chain governance model that enables XTZ holders to vote on the future direction of the network. Its native token, XTZ, is used for transaction fees, staking and earning rewards. Its ICO was held in 2017.

    Tezos Co-Founder: U.S. ‘Consecration’ of Crypto Means Less Regulatory Ambiguity

    Bitcoin's recent “parabolic” price rise reflects increased regulatory certainty in “major markets like the U.S.,” said Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman. Speaking at Web Summit, Breitman argued that, “The parabolic rise in Bitcoin’s price this week reflects this lack of ambiguity in the U.S.,” arguing that, “now that there's a lot less ambiguity as to the status of cryptocurrencies in major markets like the U.S., there will be more things like tying real world assets to cryptocurrencies, becaus...

The inaugural Digital Art Mile succeeded in that aim, Bak said, drawing “a mix of the Web3 crowd and curious art...

  • Musée d’Orsay Reveals NFT Auction Tied to Historic On-Chain Exhibition

    On Thursday, a collection of tokenized artwork from the Musée d’Orsay’s first-ever commission of an on-chain exhibition will hit the market—the product of two experimental artists, months of coordination by the museum’s leadership, and thousands of exhales from unknowing strangers.  The pieces, five single-edition NFTs minted on the Tezos blockchain collectively titled “The Convergence of Breath,” are the fruits of an art installation (and partial social experiment) now on display at Musée d’Ors...

    Next month, for the first time in its history, the storied Musée d’Orsay in Paris will showcase original artworks featuring blockchain technology.  Come February, however, the museum—a majestic 19th century railway station on the Seine’s Left Bank, lined with the masterworks of Monet, Manet, and van Gogh—will feature nary a stray CryptoPunk nor animated penguin. In fact, its new blockchain-backed art won’t utilize a single screen. “I don’t think it would be very relevant if I put 30 screens in a...

  • What is Tezos (XTZ)?

    2Tezos is a lot like Ethereum. It is a platform to create smart contracts and Dapps that are censorship-free. As with the current iteration of Ethereum, Tezos runs on Proof-of-Stake. This means there is no crypto mining involved. It also features a governance model to ensure that people who own the coin have a say in decisions regarding the future of Tezos. As there are no miners, the people who check and confirm transactions are called “bakers” and they run what’s known as a “baking operation.”...

    Tezos Jumps 7% on South Korean Volume Spike, Futures Liquidations

    Tezos (XTZ) soared 7.5% overnight, whizzing past the majority of the crypto market which showed negative gains since yesterday, per CoinGecko data. The positive price action for the layer-1 token can likely be attributed to a surge in trading volume on South Korean exchanges like UpBit, as well as hefty liquidations. The 24-hour trading volume for XTZ reached $122.8 million, significantly higher than its 30 days of $16.8 million, per CoinGecko. Tezos is a blockchain network that uses a variety o...

    Musée d’Orsay Embraces NFTs in Push to Reach New Audiences

    It was 2021, and the Musée d’Orsay had a problem.  The Parisian museum, which boasts the largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, was struggling to attract visitors amid the seesaw uncertainty of Covid lockdowns. Some museum staff felt assured that the French people’s commitment to cultural enlightenment would prevail, and museum attendance would soon return to pre-pandemic levels. But the doors were open—and huge crowds hadn’t turned up. “French peop...
