Tezos was founded by Arthur Breitman and Kathleen Breitman and is affiliated with the Tezos Foundation. The project raised $232 million through a token sale in July 2017, one of the largest fundraises of its era. Following that ICO, class-action lawsuits were filed in 2017 alleging the offering violated securities laws and defrauded participants. A federal court gave final approval in September 2020 to a $25 million settlement, ending the three-year legal dispute.
Tezos continues to evolve through a structured on-chain upgrade process. The most recent protocol upgrade, Ushuaia, was activated on June 30, 2026, marking the 21st protocol upgrade in the network's history. Development contributions come from affiliated teams including Nomadic Labs, Trilitech, and Functori. Tezos has published 11,760 posts and has 432,401 followers as of August 2026 on X.
