Layer 1

Tezos

A self-amending proof-of-stake blockchain.

Upgrades are proposed, voted on by bakers and activated on-chain, so the protocol evolves without hard forks. Uses liquid proof of stake with delegation, formally verifiable Michelson smart contracts (written in SmartPy or LIGO) and Etherlink, an EVM-compatible rollup.

How does Tezos upgrade itself without hard forks?

Tezos bakers vote on protocol upgrades on-chain, weighted by stake, through proposal, exploration, cooldown, promotion and adoption periods. Once approved, every node switches automatically, so the chain doesn't split.
