Meet Tezos

Tezos is an open-source project and software (as in, people can “contribute to the Tezos codebase”) supported by a peer-to-peer network of nodes maintaining the blockchain (as in “a Tezos node”). You can “build on Tezos” or be “built on Tezos”. Tezos is supported by a vast network of global teams that are building various applications on Tezos. In addition, it is home to one of the fastest growing communities consisting of artists, scientists, developers and people like you who wish to create and transfer value frictionlessly in a digital-centric world.

Did You Know?

Tezos does not have a core team, an official team, or employees, because Tezos is not a company, it is an open source software project and blockchain to which anyone can contribute code. Companies and organizations do not work “in” or “with” Tezos, they “build on it” as a platform. As a decentralized project, there are entities all around the globe supporting and building on Tezos, some of which use the “Tezos” name as part of their brand or company name to show that they work on Tezos; for the purpose of clarity, regardless of their name, no entity “runs Tezos”; rather it is this collaborative global effort that allow the project to continue to evolve in an organic and community-driven way.
