How Does Tezos Work and Why Is It Unique?

Accepted Answer

Tezos is a smart contract platform, similar to Ethereum. Instead of mining, Tezos has a process called \"baking\". In the Tezos system, token holders get to vote on proposed improvements to the blockchain's code in their model of self-amendment and on-chain governance. Tezos' unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm distinguishes it from many other blockchain platforms. This model is known as liquid proof-of-stake. It's intended to balance the need for security and decentralization in the network while still reaping the benefits of the delegated proof-of-stake system.

Question 5

What Is Baking and Endorsing in Tezos?

Accepted Answer

The process of block validation in Tezos is called baking. Bakers sign and publish a new block in the chain. A baker needs at least 8,000 XTZ to qualify as a delegate, and their chances of being chosen as a baker or endorser increase with additional delegated stake. Every cycle (4096 blocks), the bakers for each block are randomly selected and published. Bakers earn a block reward of 40 XTZ. Along with the bakers, 32 endorsers are randomly selected to verify the last baked block. Each block they endorse earns them 1.25 XTZ.
