## Abstract (arXiv)

Tezos is an innovative blockchain that improves on several aspects compared to more established blockchains. It offers an original proof-of-stake consensus algorithm and can be used as a decentralized smart contract platform. It has the capacity to amend its own economic protocol through a voting mechanism and focuses on formal methods to improve safety.
