What is Tezos?

The Tezos ecosystem uses “baking,” or staking in other blockchains, to validate transactions. This proof of stake model of the ecosystem is known as the “liquid proof of stake,” a validation method that does not require much energy—the reason why Tezos claims as an “eco-friendly blockchain.”

With this, XTZ is used to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), pay for fees, secure the network through baking, and serve as the basic accounting unit in the ecosystem. 

How to be a Tezos “Baker”?

Meanwhile, to fully become a baker and validate transactions on the Tezos blockchain, a user must have at least 8,000 XTZ, but those who have less than 8,000 XTZ are called delegates. Bakers can receive staking rewards through validating transactions, while delegates can only give baking rights to a baker, so the baker has a big chance of winning rewards. And once a baker has received an award, the baker is obliged to give the staking shares to the delegates who gave their baking rights.

“For the developers of Tezos, an efficient blockchain should be able to amend and upgrade itself without having to go through a hard fork, which can be detrimental to the growth of a network since forks can split a blockchain’s community and impact its market,” PDAX shared on the Learn section of its website.

Tezos burns a small amount of XTZ tokens for processing smart contract transactions, which has led to a consistent annual inflation rate of XTZ tokens of around 5% only.
