2. “A blockchain is only as strong as
the people in its community.”
Viable Systems - Tezos Foundation report September 2021
3. No single entity owns, manages, or controls Tezos
Eight upgrades prove the resilience of the vision laid out in 2014 that
allows for the sustainability and steady growth of the protocol. This is the
beauty of Tezos — its future lies in the hands of its global community.
4. Disclaimer
1. This is gonna be tons of lists & links
2. We’ll still leave out important projects,
because:
a. Tezos is a decentralized ecosystem, no
one holds all the things in one hand
b. There are so many projects popping up
weekly, that it’s nearly impossible to stay
on top
If you know of a cool project or community we
didn’t mention, please drop it in the chat!

Baking is what Tezos refers to as the action of signing and publishing a new block in the chain.
Bakers need at least 8,000 tez (≅$31k as of 17/Feb/2022) to qualify as a delegate, and having
additional delegated stake increases their chances of being selected as a Baker or Endorser.

10. How does the protocol improve?
The advancement of the Tezos protocol is supported by several decentralized core
developer teams across the world. These teams work on proposals for new protocol
upgrades, which are then suggested to and voted on by the bakers who validate the
Tezos network.
● Bolt labs - United states
● DaiLambda - Japan
● Marigold - France
● Metastate - Switzerland
● Nomadic Labs - France
● Tarides - France
12. Tezos Foundation
The success of any decentralized network is determined by the efforts of a robust, diverse, and
flourishing community. The Tezos Foundation exists as part of this ecosystem.
A key activity of the Tezos Foundation is to deploy resources to entities and initiatives that will
help to ensure the long-term success of Tezos. The Foundation is focused on three grant
categories:
- Research, Education & Core Development Grants Foster innovation, development, and
education about Tezos. These grants include a range of projects from online training
courses to core protocol development.
- Ecosystem – Tools & Application Grants Lower barriers to entry to help make Tezos as
accessible as possible for developers and end users of subsequent applications.
- Community Grants Support other organizations and initiatives that strengthen and grow
the Tezos community to which the Tezos Foundation belongs.
