Convert 50 XTZ to USD today

Tezos is a blockchain network based on a smart contract platform similar to the famous Ethereum platform, but with other more advanced features (such as On-chain Governance and Self-Amendment). Tezos aims to become the only smart contract platform that users will need later, beyond Bitcoin.

Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Tezos aims to provide a more advanced infrastructure—meaning it can grow and improve over time without ever risking a hard fork. This is a problem that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have had since their creation. XTZ holders can vote on protocol upgrade proposals made by Tezos developers.

XTZ is a cryptocurrency used on the Tezos platform that also acts as a vote. This ballot is used to vote when proposals are published on the network.

Tezos can also be understood as an investment asset like other cryptocurrencies in the market, allowing investors to share in the profits from the business of the Tezos platform.
