Comprare Tezos

Tezos (XTZ) raised an amount of $232 million on July 14, 2017, which was the most successful ICO at the time. This money is used to build a new decentralized blockchain where the community can decide together with each other how Tezos will be further developed. The Tezos network serves as the basis on which smart contracts, which are programmed in the form of decentralized applications (DApps), can be launched. This makes it look a lot like Ethereum.

The Tezos network can be used to transfer values. Hereby holders of Tezos tokens can send these to each other via the Tezos blockchain. Transactions carried out on the Tezos blockchain must be validated. Tezos uses Liquid Proof-of-Stake for this. This means that every Tezos token holder can voluntarily sign up to validate transactions. For each transaction, it is then randomly determined which person can validate the transaction. The validation of the transaction is offset by a fee that is paid by the people who use the Tezos blockchain. To ensure that the validating parties are fair, they must pay a deposit that can be withheld if it appears that they have not correctly validated the transactions.

You need a wallet in order to store and use Tezos. There are several options for saving and using Tezos.

Hosted Wallet
Hosted wallets are wallets where the access keys to your Tezos are managed by a third party such as Bitvavo. Access to your account is protected by a password, and possibly other advanced security methods. Once you are logged in, you can easily and conveniently manage your Tezos online. Bitvavo offers standard hosted wallets for all digital assets that are offered on the platform. Click here for more information about how Bitvavo saves your digital assets as securely as possible.

Software wallet
A software wallet is a program installed on your computer or any other desired device in order to use and manage your Tezos. By using a software wallet, you have full control over your "private keys" (and therefore your Tezos), so you are not dependent on third parties such as Bitvavo. The software wallet simplifies the process of accessing your Tezos. The risk is that if malicious parties have access to your device, your private keys (and therefore your Tezos) can be stolen.

Hardware wallet
A hardware wallet is a physical device on which you can store your Tezos offline. It is one of the safest ways to store your Tezos, because the private keys are stored on a seperate, offline, device. Access to this device is often protected by a password. In that respect, a hardware wallet can be compared to a safe in which your Tezos are stored.

You can use a hosted wallet, as offered by Bitvavo, to easily store, send and receive Tezos. However, you are, just like at a bank, dependent on a third party (Bitvavo) for storing your Tezos.

One of the advantages of Tezos is that you can send, receive and store your own digital assets without the relying on third parties. You do this by sending your Tezos, from your Bitvavo wallet, to your own software or hardware wallet.
