Tezos
=====
The Project
-----------
Tezos is a distributed consensus platform with meta-consensus
capability. Tezos not only comes to consensus about the state of its ledger,
like Bitcoin or Ethereum. It also attempts to come to consensus about how the
protocol and the nodes should adapt and upgrade.
- Developer documentation is available online at http://tezos.gitlab.io/master
always in sync with the master branch (which may be desynchronized with
the code running on the live networks, replace `master` in the URL by the
branch of your choice: betanet, alphanet, zeronet, to make sure you are
consulting the right API version)
- The website https://tezos.com/ contains more information about the project.
- All development happens on GitLab at https://gitlab.com/tezos/tezos
The source code of Tezos is placed under the MIT Open Source License.
