Tezos
Tezos is a decentralized, public blockchain that evolves by upgrading itself. Stakeholders of the Tezos network vote on amendments to the protocol to reach social consensus on proposals, creating a secure and organic upgrading mechanism. The protocol's on-chain governance system, its consensus algorithm based on Proof-of-Stake (PoS), and its ability to facilitate formal verification of smart contracts, make Tezos an ideal long-term solution for high-value financial applications. Learn more about Tezos at https://tezos.com.
ON-CHAIN GOVERNANCE & SELF-AMENDMENT
All stakeholders can participate in governing the protocol. The election cycle provides a formal and systematic procedure for stakeholders to reach agreement on proposed protocol amendments.
Self-amendment allows Tezos to upgrade itself without having to split (“fork”) the network into two different blockchains.
SMART CONTRACTS & FORMAL VERIFICATION
Smart contracts on Tezos are written in Michelson which facilitates formal verification - a technique used to improve security by mathematically proving that the code works without errors.
Smart contracts are used in mission-critical environments such as aerospace, nuclear, etc.
PROOF-OF-STAKE & DELEGATION
The mechanism by which the various participants in Tezos reach consensus on the state of the blockchain.
Any stakeholder can participate in the consensus process by putting in a security deposit and be rewarded for contributing to the security and stability of the network.
Users who do not wish to participate directly in the consensus protocol can delegate their tokens to other users to participate on their behalf.
Current use cases of Tezos
French CBDC tests: SocGen uses Tezos blockchain
Two months ago, the Banque de France announced it had selected eight firms to participate in its wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) trials. One of the eight selected companies is Société Générale (SocGen) Forge, who is using the Tezos blockchain as the platform for the trials. The tests aim to explore the settlement and delivery of securities with a digital Euro. Doubtless, most of the experiments will focus on on-chain settlement.

Thai Digital Exchange built on Tezos
In July of this year, ERX was approved by the Thai SEC to launch a fully-compliant digital asset exchange. This allows ERX, a subsidiary of Elevated Returns, to issue and support exclusively non-bearer assets like real estate backed tokens. The plan is to launch over one billion USD worth of assets on Tezos. The parent company has already tokenized the St. Regis luxury resort in Aspen, Colorado, USA.
