What is Tezos?
Tezos (XTZ) is a Layer-1 blockchain network currently ranked 146th by market capitalization across all crypto assets we track. As a Layer-1 network, XTZ provides settlement, consensus, and computation for a wider ecosystem of applications. The token plays a dual role: paying for transaction fees, and acting as the economic incentive securing the network.

Volatility profile

How to evaluate Tezos
A balanced read on XTZ typically considers three lenses:
- Network & on-chain activity — does usage justify the valuation? Live activity (above) should ideally trend up over time.
- Cycle position — current price relative to ATH (above) sets the risk/reward asymmetry. Closer to ATL is mathematically lower downside; closer to ATH is higher downside.
- Comparable assets — how is XTZ performing against the broader crypto market (BTC, total market cap) and against peers in the same sector? The benchmarks chart on this page shows this directly.
This page combines live market data, on-chain stats where available, exchange-by-exchange volume, and our forecast model so you can answer those three questions in one place. Nothing on this page is investment advice — it's a structured starting point for your own due diligence.
