On-chain governance keeps Tezos united. Today we lost a vote, but Tezos won. We won’t fracture the community with a hard-fork like they do on other chains. We’ll learn from this, build on all we’ve accomplished and live to fight another day. Unity is why Tezos wins.

OpenSea vs Objkt in a bear market. One of these platforms built a sustainable growth model based on fine art, artists, and community. The other chose to embrace an explosive trend that only thrives in bull markets. Can you guess which is which? 👨🏻🎨
#Tezos
The smart-contract is not the website. Using the website is just ONE of many ways of interfacing with the Hicetnunc smart-contract. This one website can go away and Hicetnunc itself will live on. Your NFTs are fine.

has corrected its price chart for Tezos, removing the false data from before XTZ entered the market. Thank you all for continuously pinging and emailing CMC and Binance. We have the best community!!!

TEZONIANS: Tell
@CoinMarketCap
that it still needs to correct this data. Tez (XTZ) didn’t activate until July 2018. Such chart data refers to sub-$1M volume FUTURES trading (IOUs). That false info is misleading investors. CoinGecko and Messari charts are accurate.

Although every marketplace on every chain shows fewer NFT traders since the bear market began, Tezos NFT marketplaces have been hanging on strong. Tezos NFT sales volume has grown each successive quarter, even through the bear market.

So apparently OneOf (

Tezos has experienced record account growth throughout the year, unhampered by the bear market! In 2022, Tezos grew from 2.3 million accounts to over 4 million accounts! (1M of which came in Q4!) — Given what’s to come in 2023, next year’s chart could make this look tiny!

Honestly, I don’t buy NFTs on Ethereum/WAX/EOS/Solana because I’d have to worry about protocol hard-forks in which the blockchain and the community split. Hard-forks fork the assets as well, including and especially NFTs. Tezos on-chain governance enables forkless upgrades

In March 2021, 1 man in Brazil with a $0 budget launched an NFT marketplace that changed the world.
By April, it was getting more users than OpenSea.
By November, it was so decentralized that he was able to discontinue his own front-end.
Thank you, Rafael Lima!

The website is merely a client for the smart-contract, like an email client; a shell, a vessel. You can now access Hicetnunc from . That’s a new client for Hicetnunc — but it’s the SAME Hicetnunc. All your NFTs are there. Nothing has been lost!

Dear

, as a paying customer I’d like to use your NFT profile pic feature but I cannot due to lack of Tezos wallet connectivity. To enable this you need to integrate Beacon, as do 99.99% of Tezos NFT dApps. Here’s the link for your devs:

Hey OpenSea, when Tezos? It’s been over a year. You were given a grant to do it which deprived other platforms of that financial support. You raised a lot of money in the months after from a16z and others…and then shirked your commitment to Tezos.

TEZOS vs ETHEREUM tx/day: So far this year, Tezos has been making great leaps in catching up with Ethereum in transactions per day. This surge is due to the first great wave of Tezos dApps (in DeFi and NFTs, respectively) and the core upgrades which have accommodated them.

Tezos has ‘Top 5’ levels of users and transactions, but scaled volume on any ecosystem has been dependent on the presence of a money market (lending platform). This is what has been missing on Tezos. TezFin (

Polygon (Matic) is the SegaCD of blockchains; it’s an Ethereum sidechain, expending ETH gas on the backend. By contrast, Tezos is an upgradable full-fledged blockchain with everything you need from the ground-up; it’s not anyone’s side anything 😎

instead of Ethereum:
1. It costs just $0.05 (not $20-$100)
2. OpenSea announced they’ll soon list Tezos market NFTs

Hey
@cnni
you incorrectly identified Kathleen Breitman as “CEO” of Tezos. Tezos does not have a CEO, just like Bitcoin does not have a CEO. This is extremely damaging to the Tezos ecosystem. Tezos is not a company!
#Tezos
So tezos4tezos had some interesting results for Tezos NFT marketplace user metics. Objkt still reigning on top. Teia for the first time had more users than Hicetnunc (milestone moment!). Versum and akaSwap got a nice boost too!

Soon you'll be able to for example...deposit USDtz to a TezFin lending pool, get f-tokens that yield rewards, collateralize the f-tokens, borrow XTZ, collateralize XTZ in a Kolibri oven, take out kUSD, pair with ETHtz, and add them together to a liquidity pool on Dexter.

TEZOS BAKERS: For Hangzhou upgrade, we’ll be injecting a proposal to switch-in USDtz for Liquidity Baking. This will be better for LPs, bakers, algocoins, and scaling Tezos DeFi! So if you plan to vote for this, hold off on voting until I post the link (within 48 hours) 🙏

Top 3 reasons to mint NFTs on Tezos:
1. Fork-less provenance
(NFTs won’t duplicate/devalue as they do on other chains)
2. Gas is less than a penny
(Gas costs actually went down as Tezos has scaled)
3. Proof-of-Stake; no hash-mining
(Virtually carbon neutral)

Stop asking the Tezos Foundation to do everything. That’s not their job. It’s the job of the free market. Tezos is not a company. The Tezos Foundation gets far too much blame in times bad, and far too much credit in times good. That’s not how it works. We roll differently.

A key difference between Tezos and competing chains is that the Breitmans gave us a true digital commonwealth, and not a throne.
Tezos ‘on-chain governance’ enables self-improvement of the protocol, and on everything, including the on-chain governance process itself!
