Tezos is a layer 1 blockchain whose consensus mechanism is an innovative improvement of Proof of Stake (PoS), called Liquid Proof of Stake (LPoS), allowing users to contribute to staking on the blockchain while maintaining the liquidity of their assets. The Tezos network has its own virtual machine and its associated language, Michelson, on which several programming languages are compatible, including Liquidity (an enhanced version of Solidity).
