Pros And Cons of Cryptocurrencies Ethereum and Tezos 

Ethereum and Tezos are popular smart contract manifestos in the cryptocurrency landscape. Even though Ethereum is larger, Tezos has currently picked some high-profile partnerships.

Tezos is a Smart Contract proposal that enables blockchain policies written in the Ocaml language. The Decision-making process in the network is entrusted to the user’s community. It does not rely on mining communities and development teams to frame new design options. Invoice payment or upgrades occurs when the developer within the Tezos network approves or proposes.

Ethereum is decentralized ledger technology and is referred to as Cryptocurrencies Queen. It was the first to install Smart Contract technology that removes 3rd party entrance in an agreement. Ethereum Virtual Machine works as the aggregate power on every node, which developers use to create DApp [decentralized apps] on the Ethereum blockchain.

You can download the Ethereum wallet from the ZenGo X platform. A wallet is essential to store the private & public keys needed to transact and store your crypto coins.

Ethereum vs. Tezos

DeFi [decentralized finance]

Ethereum is the source of Decentralized Finance. In the developer’s space, it is the popular platform used instead of other cryptocurrencies. Alternatively, on Tezos there are only USD and BTC wrapped products. It has the potential to enter the DeFi arena but is still in its infancy.

PoS [Proof of Stake]

Ethereum is transitioning from PoW [power of work] to PoS but the Tezos platform never operated inside the PoW ecosystem. It means the Tezos ecosystem is more robust than the new Ethereum [via PoW].

Unlike Ethereum, the Tezos ecosystem is transparent, and using data to stake on it is easier because to gain knowledge via its databases from the exchange or personal wallet.

Governance

Both Tezos and Ethereum has different governance model.

• On-chain governance [Tezos]

Tezos wallet makes use of the on-chain governance mechanism, which is called the self-amendment chain. It upgrades itself without splitting the network into 2 different blockchains. To introduce change protocol, there is a process to follow. When a developer requests some protocol change and asks for compensation then the network users assess for possible issues. After testing, the entire Tezos network votes, and the amendment is accepted when voters approve in the majority.

• Off-chain governance [Ethereum]

In Ethereum, the request or proposal for updates has to go through the core member’s panel. Extensive discussions are held regarding the proposal for changes. If there is approval then there is a trial on Ethereum Blockchain.

ERCs or Ethereum Request for Comments is another less-known governance mechanism. Different technical parameters are used and if the ERCs hold then it is transformed into an EIP and has to follow the procedure including core panel members.

Use case

Ethereum has many years of use under its belt in comparison to Tezos. Its usage is visible in everything ranging from gas to lending platforms to NFTs and DEXs. It is worth noting that in DeFi more than 9 million Ethers are locked. Tezos are primarily used to store value and as a staking mechanism. Tezos lacks the reach and influence that Ethereum commands.

Both have made great strides in this changing world. Adopt a blockchain that suits your business demands because each one has its pros and cons.
