Tezosbased

Tezosbased describes software, services, or projects that are built on or run atop the Tezos blockchain. The label signals reliance on Tezos smart contracts, on-chain governance, and the protocol’s self-amending design, which enables upgrades without hard forks. Tezosbased initiatives may issue tokens (such as FA1.2 or FA2 standards) and use Tezos-specific development tools and wallets.

Technology and architecture: Tezos uses a Liquid Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism with baking and endorsing to secure the network. It supports formal verification and on-chain upgrade paths through its self-amending protocol. Smart contracts are written in Michelson or higher-level languages such as LIGO, SmartPy, and Archetype, which compile to Tezos bytecode.

Applications and ecosystem: Tezos-based projects span decentralized finance, digital art and collectibles, tokenization of assets, identity and governance tools, and interoperability services. The ecosystem emphasizes formal verification and upgradeability, with many projects adopting FA2 token standards and integrated with Tezos wallets and oracles.

Governance and upgrades: Tezos employs on-chain governance in a multi-phase process where proposals are evaluated, tested, and voted on by stakeholders (bakers, endorsers, and holders). Successful upgrades are incorporated into the protocol via the self-amendment mechanism, allowing changes without disruptive hard forks.

Reception and considerations: The Tezos-based space benefits from formal verification and upgradeability, but faces trade-offs in network effects, tooling maturity, and learning curve. The term "Tezosbased" is used broadly to distinguish projects that leverage Tezos rather than other blockchains.
