What Is Tezos (XTZ)?
Tezos is a self-amending blockchain that launched in 2018. It can upgrade itself through on-chain governance, without the need for hard forks.
XTZ, sometimes called tez, is the native token. It pays fees, secures the network through staking and gives holders a vote on protocol upgrades.
How Does Tezos Work?
Tezos uses liquid proof-of-stake. Holders can validate blocks themselves, a process called baking, or delegate to a baker while keeping their coins in their own wallet.
Key Features of XTZ
- Self-amending protocol upgrades.
- On-chain governance by XTZ holders.
- Liquid proof-of-stake with delegation.
- Low fees and energy-efficient design.
What Is XTZ Used For?
XTZ is used for staking, governance, network fees and NFT and DeFi applications on Tezos.

What Makes Tezos Different
Tezos can upgrade itself. Holders vote on protocol changes on-chain, and approved upgrades go live without splitting the network. That process has delivered more than a dozen upgrades since 2018.
XTZ holders can delegate to a "baker" to earn staking rewards without locking their coins. Tezos is popular with artists for low-cost NFTs and with institutions for tokenisation.
Where to Store XTZ
Temple Wallet, Kukai and Umami are popular, and Ledger supports XTZ.
Before You Swap XTZ: Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending to a KT1 address (a smart contract) when you meant a personal tz address.
- Thinking delegation locks your coins. It doesn't, but staking (a newer option) does have an unstake period.
- Using an exchange memo field that isn't needed. Most Tezos deposits don't use memos.
