Tezos is a decentralized blockchain network with a native cryptocurency known as tez. Tez (XTZ) is used to interact with dApps, pay for fees, secure the network through staking, and provide a basic accounting unit on the Tezos platform.

The Tezos Ecosystem is home to Builders, Creators, and Innovators all commited to growing and building on the energy-efficient and upgradable Tezos protocol.

There are several Tezos wallets available, including software and hardware wallets. Each type has its own set of pros and cons, so you will need to decide which one is the best fit for you based on your needs.

Creating a Tezos wallet is a straightforward process where you will have to choose a type of Tezos wallet, download it and setup by following the instructions provided by the wallet developer, fund it with XTZ and then you can stake it. Be sure to follow the instructions provided by the wallet developer and ensure the security of your private keys by backing them up and keeping them safe.

The self-amending protocol on Tezos allows for the network to upgrade itself without the need for hard forks. The protocol allows for the community to propose and vote on upgrades, with a formal verification process ensuring the security of the changes. Once an upgrade is approved, it is automatically implemented on the network.
