Tezos Commons :: Seeking The North Star: The Fascinating Web 3.0 Journey of Retro Manni Artist, filmmaker, and storyteller Retro Manni reflects on his journey into Web 3.0 and finding a home in the Tezos ecosystem.Tezos’ exciting digital art and NFT ecosystem serve as an important entry point into the Tezos ecosystem. The Tezos art scene, initially driven by low gas/minting prices and bolstered by intuitive user interfaces and ease of use, has become one of the most active and engaged blockchain art communities in the Web 3.0 world. It has gone on to birth a thriving ecosystem of marketplaces, collectors, artists, and art appreciators from all across the globe, and represents an important case study in organic Web 3.0 community growth.In its short time in existence, the Tezos art ecosystem has attracted countless talented artists to its cause. They’ve come from every corner of the globe and brought along with them talents spanning multiple disciplines, subject matters, and mediums. Every single one of them has a story that led them to develop and mint their work right here in the Tezos ecosystem.Enter: artist, filmmaker, and storyteller Retro Manni. He, like so many others, comes from a background steeped in creativity and chose to embark on a new journey into the exciting Web 3.0 space, eventually finding a home in the Tezos art community. Presented with the chance to chat with Manni about his work and his journey into the Tezos ecosystem, I jumped at it.Here’s what Retro Manni had to say…“Since 2004 I’ve been working as a filmmaker, but I was also a teacher. I kind of got fed up with being a teacher. I’d kind of had it with that industry, to be honest. I decided that I wanted to pursue filmmaking full-time — leading into more painting and digital work and animation, so I set up my own company and left teaching. About a month after that I had a heart attack. It completely hit me out of the blue. I had an operation and I was on lots of meds, and I went into a good few months of depression.I knew about NFTs at this time, but I wasn’t embedded in that community or anything like that, I just knew about them from the media. Then a friend of mine called me and said “Why are you not in NFTs? You need to be in there.” He’d seen some of my work online and couldn’t fathom how I wasn’t involved already. I was very resistant, but luckily after I got that call I sat with it for a while and next thing you know, I’m 2–3 years on now and knee-deep into it!”As an artist familiar with working with digital canvases to produce his work, NFTs were a natural fit for Manni. His work, richly laced with cyberpunk and 80s retrowave iconography seemed, in many ways, custom-suited to the medium. And, quickly after dipping his toes into blockchain-powered art, the amazing possibilities for sharing his work with the world and developing his talents became clear.The realization led Manni to the genesis of “Retro Man”, an ambitious and fascinating storytelling project he is currently working to realize here in the Tezos ecosystem…“Retro Man is a concept that came out of being in NFTs and being on Tezos. I initially came in with some digital artworks that I’d created — very Cyberpunk. A throwback to the retro wave 80s culture. I was just finding myself. I was meeting new people and trying new things out and I was doing a lot of digital paintings. The problem I was seeing as AI was growing at the time and becoming more popular is that it was looking a lot like the digital paintings that I was doing. It threw a lot of things up in the air for me and made me question the value of what I was doing and whether I belonged in that future.Then I realized: I’m a filmmaker. I don’t really see myself as an artist if I’m honest with myself. I’m a storyteller. I started to really hone in on that idea. I thought ‘I need to take some of those stories that I’ve got and bring them to the blockchain because they’re going to outlast any style or medium of art. Retro Man came out of that.”With this blueprint in place, Manni stepped forth to bring his storytelling concept to fruition. While the Retro Man Universe currently exists as an ongoing animated series in the style of old SNES games and an audiobook, Manni’s larger vision for this project includes a film and a video game as well.And, while the journey to realizing his vision for the Retro Man Universe has only just begun, Manni’s journey into the Tezos art space is emblematic of the things that have made Tezos’ art scene so successful, something we explored together during his recent appearance on TezTalks Live…“The more I learned about it — and I did try minting on Polygon, and no shade to Polygon, but it was a horrible experience. Jumping into the communities on ETH, at least from what I first discovered, I just wasn’t getting a good feeling of ‘this is where I fit’. I was actually very close to giving up until one day I woke up and randomly got a notification that objkt and Teia were running a space on Twitter. I didn’t know much about Tezos at the time, but I jumped in. Immediately, compared to what I’d seen and heard in all those other spaces, the vibe was completely different. It was way more chill. It wasn’t about trying to pump anything or exclusivity or anything like that. It was just people talking about how they can use these platforms to sell their art. They were all really super nice! I thought ‘This is where I see myself’.”As a newcomer to the Web 3.0 art and NFT space, the elements that attracted Manni to the Tezos ecosystem were, in large measure, the same ones that have always appealed to artists who’ve found their way here: ease of use, low fees for minting and selling works, etc. But it wasn’t just Tezos’ second-to-none technology and marketplaces that made Manni’s foray into Tezos such a positive one. A newer element has emerged within Tezos’ thriving art scene that has both made this ecosystem appealing to new artists and made it a place they want to stay once they’ve arrived: a sense of community…“The technology is awesome. I struggle to go anywhere else. I’m not really interested in doing anything elsewhere. I’m quite resistant to change, and I’ve gotten so used to using my Temple wallet, I’ve gotten so used to using objkt and Teia to collect, everything connects so well, I’ve had no issues, and I trust it. I feel comfortable using it.The community’s been brilliant, and there have been some absolutely wonderful people who have welcomed me since the moment I got here. I came in completely fresh — not knowing anyone, and I’ve met some really nice people. The experience has been brilliant.”Today, with his works minted and listed on multiple Tezos NFT marketplaces, Manni has become fully ensconced in the Tezos ecosystem. And that, for anyone interested in bringing new users to Tezos, is a very good thing. It’s why blockchain art continues to be a key pillar of Tezos’ success and ongoing growth.With all of that in mind, I wanted to know more about Retro Manni’s experience here in the Tezos ecosystem…Who are the people who have given you such a positive perception of the Tezos art ecosystem?There are so many, that I couldn’t possibly name them all. From a community-building perspective, 3 people who massively helped me integrate were @NftyTrap, @NftPeperoncino and @rblbab. I wouldn’t have been as consistent without their Twitter spaces and also their support and encouragement in those early days. As of right now, this scene just wouldn’t be the same without @pocobelli — I actually think his Artist Journal series has kept the Tezos scene alive and kicking during the darkest periods.Which Tezos platforms, tools, and marketplaces do you use the most today?I am using Teia and objkt. Objkt primarily for my collection drops and Teia for stand-alone, more unique pieces — those are the ones I really treasure and kind of don’t want to let go of. But I’m extremely excited about DNS’s new platform because of its integration with social media and the Tezos blockchain — it’s shaping up to be a much-needed, rock-solid addition to the ecosystem. I have a special drop planned for that when it launches.What would you say to an artist considering the Tezos ecosystem as a home for their work?As with anything, I would encourage them to do their research and decide whether the blockchain in general will support their overall direction and vision. Times have changed since I came in — it’s no longer the unsustainable gold rush of the last bull run. But, I do believe the accessibility of Tezos, and more importantly, the community around it is one of the most supportive, period. And with that said, I would ask them to think big, and not be held back by some of the barriers and limiting beliefs the trad/irl art world has instilled in them. The sky’s the limit if you have a long-term outlook and a vision you believe in. It’s why I am still here. The full potential hasn’t been realized yet, but I think it’s going to turn the creative industry on its head. This is something I strongly believe.As a case study in the onboarding of a talented artist with an ambitious Web 3.0 vision, Retro Manni’s journey into the Tezos ecosystem can’t be considered anything less than an unmitigated success. From his initial entry point at the hands of a community-organized online event to his current status as a Tezos artist and active community participant (and everything in between), Manni’s journey into this bustling space — marked by the welcoming individuals he encountered every step along the way — stands as a testament to the power of the Tezos community, its generous spirit, and the smooth user experience that brings it all together.I’ll be watching as Manni continues his quest to bring the Retro Man Universe to life, and I hope you all will too!Seeking The North Star: The Fascinating Web 3.0 Journey of Retro Manni was originally published in Tezos Commons on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Tezos Commons :: Tezos Ticks All The Boxes What makes a blockchain great? What are the “must-haves” and how is Tezos meeting these standards?As someone who’s navigated the choppy waters of blockchains for a couple of years, looking at the current crypto market, I’ve come to wonder what truly sets a platform apart in this revolutionary space, and for me, it’s about more than just smart contracts, transaction speeds, and gambling — it’s about adhering to the core values of cryptocurrency while continuously evolving to meet future challenges.At its heart, a solid blockchain platform needs to champion transparency, decentralization, security, and user empowerment. These aren’t just nice-to-have features; they are the foundational pillars that support the trust and functionality of any blockchain. With that in mind, I wanted to share what I think are some of the “must-haves” for any blockchain and how Tezos ticks all those boxes. Let’s get into it!Future-proofIf you want to build a project, mint some digital art, or in general invest your time and money in a blockchain, you want it to be future-proof. You need to feel safe and that the foundations that you build upon will still be solid in one, ten, or a hundred years and this is a point where Tezos excels.I can’t think of another blockchain that has evolved and upgraded as consistently as Tezos. With 15 upgrades already under its belt and a 16th on the way, Tezos’ on-chain governance model makes it exceptionally adaptable. It continually incorporates the latest technologies and meets the evolving demands of the industry, ensuring it never gets left behind.SecurityAnother critical element of a robust blockchain is its security. Blockchains are currently undergoing groundbreaking technological advancements, and we often see hastily developed projects that lead to failures. The Tezos protocol is crafted in OCaml, a functional programming language known for its “Secure-By-Design” qualities.Additionally, it employs Michelson as the primary programming language for its smart contracts, which supports formal verification of code — crucial for institutions and other high-security applications.It’s worth noting that Tezos is open-source and has been rigorously tested over its five-plus years in existence. Lastly, as we mentioned in the previous point, Tezos is getting upgrades more than any other blockchain, these upgrades almost always include improvements to its security which make it even more secure as we move forward.ScalabilityThe idea here is simple, If you want to build the digital commonwealth on top of blockchain technology, your blockchain must be able to support the demand. This has been made clear and it’s no wonder most blockchains, new and old, have put their marketing focus on scalability. So how is Tezos doing on that topic?Well, besides the 1 million transactions per second (TPS) demonstration that we saw last summer, the Tezos core teams have been really hard at work on scalability. The integration of enshrined rollups last year was a significant milestone, and now, with the Data Availability Layer (DAL) included in the upcoming “Paris” protocol upgrade — currently in the on-chain governance voting process — Tezos is truly staying ahead of the curve in decentralized scalability.Sticking to the Core Values of CryptoOne aspect often overlooked in today’s blockchain industry is the commitment of certain platforms to uphold the foundational principles of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. We frequently observe blockchains compromising on decentralization and censorship resistance — key tenets that originally defined this technology.In contrast, Tezos continues to honor these essential values as it progresses toward its 16th upgrade. It consistently implements innovations and enhancements in security, scalability, and other critical areas of its ecosystem without forsaking its core principles. As a result, Tezos remains among the most decentralized and inclusive blockchains available. After all, without genuine decentralization and resistance to censorship, one might as well opt for a centralized database.Additionally, Tezos stands out for its accessibility; with low hardware and stake requirements, it’s one of the most affordable blockchains for validators to join. Furthermore, Tezos’s approach to decentralization extends beyond merely having a large number of nodes and equitable token distribution. It has also been a trailblazer in decentralized decision-making through its on-chain governance system. Tezos is effectively driving progress in the blockchain space, motivated by the right reasons and focusing on what truly matters.CommunityIn the topic of blockchain “must-haves” and differentiators, I couldn’t have left out the community. We all understand the importance of community and I have to say the Tezos community is a unique one. A collective full of diverse and passionate people. It is the kind of community that will welcome and support everyone but will not stay passive. It will voice its opinions and it will actively participate in improving the Tezos ecosystem.Be it developers, artists, gamers, defi users, traders, or simply Tezos enthusiasts, you will find a like-minded sub-community where you will feel at home. I really can’t say enough good things about our community, I’m just super glad I’m part of it.In wrapping up, if your priorities align with stability and a principled approach to blockchain development, then Tezos is your go-to blockchain. It’s not just about being part of another blockchain community; it’s about engaging with a forward-thinking ecosystem that values progress while sticking to its core principles.Tezos isn’t just ticking boxes — it’s creating them. Whether you’re a developer, artist, or just a crypto enthusiast, Tezos offers a solid foundation and a vibrant community that’s ready to welcome and grow with you. Join us in shaping a future where technology respects values and where every update is a step towards a better, more decentralized world.Tezos Ticks All The Boxes was originally published in Tezos Commons on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Tezos Commons :: Spotlighting Tezos Art In NYC With STELLAR Highlighting the STELLAR art event hosted by Victoria West on April 2nd, 2024, in NYC.The STELLAR exhibition hosted at LUME Studios, an event venue in New York City, brought over 500 artists and enthusiasts to witness an immersive art experience. This was the second consecutive year that Victoria West organized a world-class art event in NYC, powered by Tezos, and it did not disappoint.The event had an engaging panel discussion with artists and collectors, live performances, and was full of amazing art from talented artists minting on Tezos. It was another testament to all of the talented artists that can be found in the Tezos community.Highlighted WorksThe exhibition included digital art from over 60 artists such as Vendingnfts, OMGiDRAWEDit, Wondermundo, and more.According to Victoria West, the crowd at the event was quite diverse. She stated that during the event:At one point, I saw one of the bouncers that work for the venue was over at the tez vending machine with Flexasaurus Rex getting onboarded to Tezos. I think we definitely had some impact outside of our little space.A notable artist who has minted many works on Tezos, OMGiDRAWEDit, had one of their latest art piece displayed at the event. Beyond the popular Tezzardz PFP collection and Bedroom Nostalgia series, George showcased a similar appeal to his unique style.There was also some impressive artistic poetry displayed from collectives like TheVERSEverse, including threads that were curated by OBJKT for the event. Check out those threads to see more fantastic works showcased at the STELLAR exhibition.Panel DiscussionThis day-long immersive experience wasn’t only about showcasing art. It was also a deep dive into how web3 reshapes lives, especially for artists.Aaron Vick steered a compelling panel discussion featuring voices from the Tezos community, including Jen Panepinto (QuantumSpirit), Empress Trash, Leslie Spurlock, Joanne Enders (itsltlthings), and Sunny Sangwan, which also contained a Q&A from attendees. As art from the Tezos community lit up the walls, the conversation veered into the transformative power of web3.Panelists shared a unified belief: web3 isn’t just changing the game; it’s redefining it. Tezos has emerged as a user-friendly and affordable platform that allows artists worldwide to share their work with the world while breaking traditional barriers to entry. This democratization of art promotes inclusivity, enabling non-traditional artists, poets, and photographers to connect with new collectors and audiences.Yet, for all its advancements, the panel acknowledged that web3’s journey is far from complete. The goal is to make navigating the blockchain as straightforward as surfing the current web. While there’s concern that web3 could be dismissed as a fringe movement, the panel remained optimistic. The continuous march towards a digital expanse suggests a different outcome.The overriding hope is that creators alike will see web3 not just as a means to make a living, but as a platform to build communities and forge lasting friendships. STELLAR’s panel underscored a pivotal moment in the art world, where technology and human connection intersect, promising a vibrant, inclusive future.Live PerformancesAttendees were also treated to a performance by Graphite Method, a collaboration between actor and artist Laurence Fuller and actor and poet Vincent D’Onofrio. The duo recited poetry during the event while projections enveloped the studio, creating a visually immersive experience.Fuller and D’Onofrio’s collaboration, Graphite Method, features poetry that resembles a graphic novel or noir thriller, with recurring characters such as Sheldon, a boy, and Lady Bushwick, an aging woman. These characters appear in a series of poems linked by a plot called “Sparrow.” Their performance included additional poems that contributed to the depth and texture of the show.I contacted Laurence about how the two famous actors got together and made the collaboration happen and this is what he had to say…Vincent D’Onofrio and actors like Daniel Day-Lewis and Philip Seymour Hoffman have inspired me since my youth. He is known amongst cinema lovers as one of the truest actors of our time. His capacity to transform into different characters and commit to artistic choices with boldness and wild determination has been a compelling and poetic statement that’s rare in the field. Actors like Vincent came to redefine the craft, and he participated at The Lee Strasberg Institute and other such studios.Working with Vincent D’Onofrio has been a long time in the making. I initially connected with him on Twitter 4–5 years ago, posting about his acting, back when my followers were 100% from the film and art worlds. And he responded. At one point, he posted about one of my first pieces, ‘Garden Of Barnacles,’ originally minted on Opensea, and I wrote to him asking for a collaboration.I onboarded Vincent to Tezos for the Poetics exhibition I put together in 2022 ~ our first collab was with my friends Henrik Uldalen and Ruben Fro called ‘Flood Of The Soul.’ We worked with FakeWhale on “Reflections Of Ours” about six months later and cross-platforms SuperRare and MakersPlace afterward.Sparrow came about after the Fable exhibition on SuperRare in NYC last year ~ Sutu approached me with the idea to do a cube, and I’d just met with Vincent about some potential projects we could do. We thought a noir thriller could be a great fit, what started a one year in the making, developing the visuals in tune with the ever-evolving AI tech as well as very personal cinematics. Many of the scenes were built from footage I’d shot around my neighborhood in LA, and the characters were composed of scans of Vincent and me and people in his life.During the making of it, SPARROW toured NFC Lisbon, Film3 Summit in LA, and most recently, Lume Studios immersive space during NFT NYC.Not to be left out of the limelight, Andressa Furletti also did an excellent live performance. “Washed Dreams,” created by Andressa, is a multimedia performance that combines video art with live performance, improvisation, and AI technology. It explores renewal, identity, transformation, and self-discovery through a poetic and physically expressive narrative.I’d like to thank Lauren McDonagh-Pereira for providing the photo above and all the others.Final ThoughtsIt’s safe to say the STELLAR event was a success, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of over 500 artists and fans to witness Tezos-based art, live cinematic poetry readings, and a fascinating panel discussion from artists. The event’s host, Victoria West, certainly surpassed her event from last year with another remarkable showing. This immersive art experience showcased digital works from over 60 artists deeply embedded in the Tezos community, demonstrating the strength of the Tezos art community and the Tezos blockchain that powers them. We at Tezos Commons are proud to support this event, are in awe of how talented the Tezos artistic community is, and cannot wait to see the collaborations that are born out of this event!Spotlighting Tezos Art In NYC With STELLAR was originally published in Tezos Commons on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Tezos Commons :: How to easily airdrop your newly created token on Tezos. How To Easily Airdrop Your Newly Created Token On TezosA guide on how to mass-airdrop your new FA2 tokens to multiple Tezos wallets and leveraging community-developed tools, including methods for compiling the wallet list.We are back with another guide for our Tezos Decentralized Finance (DeFi) series. So far, we’ve gone through how to make your own token, set up a liquidity pool, and get a farm up and running on Tezos. Pretty cool stuff, right? Well, we’re not done yet. This time, we’re looking into something super handy: distributing your token, through airdrops.In this piece, we’re going to break down the tools and tricks for finding out who holds certain tokens or NFTs, and then show you how to send your tokens over to them in one batch. This isn’t just about getting your token out there; it’s also a neat way to say thanks to the folks who’ve supported your NFTs or other FA2 tokens.For this guide and as an example, I will be airdropping my DSB token that I created in previous guides to the holders of the Ottez Gen2 NFTs. Ready to get into it? Let’s roll!Step 1 – Getting the lists of wallets that will be airdroppedTo begin, we need the wallet addresses of every individual holding Gen2 Ottez NFTs. To seamlessly get this information, we’ll use the “Fans/Collectors” tool developed by the remarkable NFTBiker. The process is straightforward: we go to the “Fans/Collectors” webpage, we enter the Ottez GEN2 NFT contract address into the designated field, and we hit the “Check” button.Shortly thereafter, a list displaying all the holders and their corresponding wallet addresses will materialize in the section below. The page should look like as follows:At this point, we click the “Copy Wallets” button and save them somewhere as we will need them in the next step.Step 2 – Preparing the airdropAlright, now that we’ve got our list of wallets sorted out, let’s dive into the next steps for the airdrop and get into the nitty-gritty. We’re going to pull out another tool from the NFTBiker toolbox, this time it’s the “Giveaway/Airdrop” gadget. Heading over to the tool’s site and connecting our wallet, we’re faced with three blanks to fill out:First up, we paste in the contract address of the token we’re dropping. If it’s an NFT that you’re airdropping, just drop the URL of that NFT from places like Objkt, Teia, or fx(hash). The tool will fetch the contract address and token ID all by itself.Next, in the second slot, we’re typing in how much of the good stuff each wallet’s gonna get. Keep in mind, if you’re dropping a token with decimals (just like I am), those extra zeros matter as this field requires you to input the amount in decimals. For example, the token I am airdropping (DSB) has 6 decimals, so to send 100 DSB to each wallet, I will input 100,000,000 (the amount I want to send followed by six zeros) in this field. The decimals of your token were set when you created it. If you set it with 5 decimals, then you add 5 zeros, if you set it with 7 decimals, then you add 7 zeros to the amount you want to send, and so on.Last but not least, the third box is where we paste our wallet hit list — the one we prepped in Step 1. A heads-up here: if your list has more than 500 wallets, it’s better to break it into smaller parts and airdrop less than 500 wallets at a time so that you don’t hit any storage limits* that would cause the whole batch to fail.*Tezos, like many other blockchains, has a limit on how much storage and gas you can spend per operation and block so that the network nodes can process transactions and communicate fast enough. Storage costs are related to the size of the data that we store on the Tezos blockchain and the more we store, the higher the fees get.Once we have filled everything, we click the “Prepare” button and the page should look something like this:Step 3 – Sending the airdropAlright, we’re almost done! Before we proceed, let’s meticulously review all the details one last time — the token contract address, the amount to be distributed, and the list of wallets. If it all checks out, it’s time to adopt our best Oprah impression and press the “Send Tokens” button. This action triggers a confirmation prompt from our wallet, and upon approval, the tokens will be dispatched.Do keep in mind, that the cost associated with this batch transfer depends on several factors: the type of token you’re sending (such as a simple FA2 token or an NFT), and the number of wallets you’re targeting. For instance, when I executed my DSB token airdrop to a group of 121 Ottez Gen2 holders, the total cost amounted to 2.14 tez.And there you have it — a step-by-step guide to airdropping your newly minted tokens on Tezos, complete with tools and practical advice to ensure that your token finds its way to the right hands efficiently.Stay tuned for more insights and guides as we continue to explore the depths of DeFi on Tezos.

See you there!More Tezos Gaming UpdatesWith games like Coinblast, StarSymphony, BattleRise: Kingdom of Champions, Chestnut, and Metapals, we can see Tezos gaming is taking it up a notch. This is evident in another new game support for Tezos, AutoHero.Developed by Bombus Studio, Auto Hero is an automatic-shooting 2D platformer game. It also features role-playing (RPG) mechanics, such as the ability to select heroes like Hank, Barry, Dracula, and more.The game’s objective is clear: shoot as many enemies as possible without dying. It features three different modes, and there are a few options, such as “Endless” or “Tower” if you get tired of playing the campaign mode.If you play the campaign mode, you must complete 30 rooms to complete each campaign. The first campaign revolves around Woodland Realm and is certainly meant to be easier to help you learn how to play the game. I finished it quite quickly.One thing that comes up as a strategizing aspect of the game is how you choose your “perks”. Perks in the game represent unique abilities that help you gain an edge as the rooms progress in intensity/difficulty. The strategy that overwhelmingly worked for me was to get as many “double shot” and “ATK up” as I could.Eventually, enemies became super easy to kill, which is essential as there is a boss room where you’ll need as much of an edge as possible. As for how often these perks drop, they typically come after every 2 or 3 rooms you complete. So, choosing them wisely and strategizing is key to completing these campaigns.One of the more novel features is the ability to fuse and upgrade items. This is where Tezos comes in. As mentioned in a tweet from the Tezos Foundation, “these actions will transition into on-chain transactions once they are converted into NFTs.”You can play the game on your Android or iOS device if you haven’t already done so.News From The Tezos Ecosystem: Quick BitsTezos presence at NFT ParisTeams from Nomadic Labs and Trilitech brought Tezos to builders and partners in one of the world’s leading NFT events.

Tezos Commons :: Tezos Goes Shopping: Exploring Crypto Payment Platform Lyzi With Damien Patureaux Damien Patureaux, CEO and Co-Founder of Lyzi on how this Tezos-powered crypto payment platform is progressing in 2024.Talk to anyone who isn’t already embedded in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology about this space, and it’s a pretty safe bet that the question “but what can you do with it?” will come up within the first ten minutes. Answering this pesky question without explaining the ongoing shift toward an increasingly digital world, the enormous part Web 3.0 will play in that shift, and the massive impact this shift will have (and is already having) on our everyday lives, has been a tall task at the best of times.As armies of creators, builders, founders, and developers continue bolstering the infrastructure of the larger blockchain ecosystem, smoothing out its speed bumps, and releasing evermore accessible/useful tools and applications, however, such questions can be expected to fall by the wayside one by one in the months and years ahead.When it comes to making cryptocurrency a sustainably viable alternative to fiat currencies and crushing the “but what can you do with it” narrative forever, however, there is one problematic bottleneck in the system that stands out from all the others: the problem of enabling those who hold crypto to spend it in the real world.Cryptocurrency was originally envisioned as an alternative to traditional or “fiat” currencies. The need to utilize cumbersome off-ramping processes to spend cryptocurrency has held these promising technologies back from reaching their promise and given detractors far too easy a target to point at when deriding their utility.Enter: Lyzi.While many retail crypto payment platforms have been rolled out across the larger blockchain space to varying degrees of success, none have yet managed to make paying for real-world purchases with cryptocurrency truly viable. Cracking this seemingly simple but extremely complex problem, has confounded the sharpest minds in the blockchain sphere for some years now.But, according to Lyzi CEO and Co-Founder Damien Patureaux, a practical solution is not only in the works but already up and running in Western Europe…“Lyzi is a crypto payment hub connecting brands with Web 3.0 users who hold crypto on a fully-regulated platform. We are mainly based in France because this is where we are from and this is where everything began for Lyzi, but we are currently developing and accelerating in other countries in Europe.”Built right here in the Tezos ecosystem, the Lyzi team has been hard at work building connections with France’s largest retail entities and brands to help them offer seamless crypto transactions to the masses on a fully-regulated and secure crypto spending platform.Available on both The App Store and Google Play, the Lyzi app offers users seamless retail purchases directly through their cryptocurrency wallets. It is enabled to transact using more than 70 cryptocurrencies and is currently accepted by 1500+ brands worldwide.Damien Patureaux says that the Lyzi team’s decision to realize their vision in the Tezos ecosystem was one made thoughtfully, and with a couple of very important factors in mind…“When you talk about the payments use case, it’s the start of pretty much everything. When you read the Bitcoin whitepaper, the only thing is peer-to-peer payment. This is what it should be. What’s important for us, because we’re dealing with real people in real life, is to have technology that will be as scalable as possible and as cheap as possible.Payments are so challenging. With tap-and-pay on your cell phone, these things take just a second. It’s really challenging to build something that works that easily for the end user and for the brand. In order to do so, we need to have the best technology, and we believe that Tezos has strong technology that is fully decentralized. The second thing that is very important is that in Europe, Tezos is powerful as a corporate ecosystem. That was very important in getting brands and gaining traction with big European corporations. They know they need a plug-and-play product like ours, and with Tezos, the story they need to hear to get involved is very easy to write.Those are the two main reasons we picked the Tezos blockchain, but of course Tezos was also the first blockchain that showed a lot of confidence in our product and helped us develop it.”In its quest to grow Lyzi’s adoption in the region, however, writing a great story that brands and retailers can get on board with is only part of the journey. Driving adoption of the Lyzi app and getting consumers involved is equally important — if not more so. To that end, the Lyzi team has included a robust incentive structure for users willing to use Lyzi for their retail purchases driven by their “Lyzi Token” something Damien spoke about during his recent appearance on TezTalks Live…“The Lyzi Token has different utilities and use cases. Many of these are based on bringing more users to the platform through cash back incentives. When you make a purchase using Lyzi, you get cash back in the form of Lyzi tokens. It’s also used for loyalty incentives. What’s important for us is to generate usage, because brands are looking for usage.Our mission is to drive adoption, and to drive adoption you need to find the right way to incentivize people to use the platform. The token can be used for retail purchases, but it can be used for DeFi as well, just as one example. It has many different utilities.”With all of this in place, the Lyzi team has managed to make significant headway in several Western European markets. However, their vision for Lyzi’s rollout is a much larger one. While European countries like France, Belgium, and Spain are important markets and effective proving grounds for Lyzi’s technology and go-to-market strategy, only a truly global plan for driving adoption will truly allow Lyzi to reach its tremendous promise…“In one year we have signed more than 1,000 shops that now accept crypto payments in France, Belgium, and Spain. That’s without making a lot of business development effort. We were mainly focused on indirect integrations based on PSPs and POS system integrations because those are keys in the model we are building. When you go and see a Target Center in the US, for example, and you want to deploy crypto payments in their legacy cashier system, you have to be integrated before even talking to them.The strategy for us is to push towards all those types of integrations to make it as easy as possible when we deal with them. When we go see a brand, we are already integrated with their POS system or hardware payment terminal. That makes it a lot easier when we deal with their IT. It’s just plug-and-play. You activate the toggle, we do the KYC, and that’s it, it’s done. You can accept crypto payments.The next step is to build something more global. We are mainly based in the European market — mainly France, Belgium, and Spain, but we want to expand worldwide.”As the Tezos ecosystem continues its relentless march toward mass adoption, finding effective bridges between cryptocurrency value and the real-world markets where that value can be put to use will be an increasingly crucial endeavor. And, with folks like Damien Patureaux and the Lyzi team leading the global charge, it’s good to know that the Tezos ecosystem has claimed a spot on the bleeding edge of this crucial task, just as it has with so many others. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Lyzi’s journey toward global adoption, and can’t wait to see where all of this leads!Tezos Goes Shopping: Exploring Crypto Payment Platform Lyzi With Damien Patureaux was originally published in Tezos Commons on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Tezos Commons :: Navigating Tezos Token Standards: FA1.2, FA2, and Beyond! What is a “token standard’? What are the different token standards on Tezos? Let’s have a quick look!At some point in your crypto journey, you’ve probably bumped into terms like ERC20, FA1.2, FA2, BRC20, TRC20, and the list goes on. These are all different types of “Token Standards”, and they’re a big deal in the land of smart contracts. Actually, most (if not all) blockchains with smart contracts have their own version of token standards.Feeling a bit lost? No worries, you’re in the right spot. This article is all about breaking down what token standards are all about, especially focusing on the ones used by Tezos. Let’s kick things off by figuring out why token standards are such a big deal in the first place.What Are Token Standards?A token standard defines an interface along with a set of rules that a smart contract must adhere to for the token to function within the blockchain ecosystem. These standards are pivotal for ensuring compatibility across various platforms, such as decentralized exchanges and digital wallets, thereby facilitating a consistent and secure transactional environment. By defining methods for token transfer and keeping track of these transactions, token standards streamline the creation and management of digital assets, making them accessible to a broader audience.Imagine a token standard as the rulebook for a sports game, say, football or for my North American friends, soccer. Just as every soccer game needs to follow specific rules to ensure all players know how to play and what’s expected, a token standard does the same and sets the ground rules for digital tokens so that they can play nicely in the blockchain world. This rulebook tells tokens how to move around the field (the blockchain) in terms of what is allowed and what isn’t and thereby making sure they can pass between players (wallets and exchanges) smoothly without any mix-ups.These rules are super important because they make sure every token, no matter who created it, can work together with all the other parts of the blockchain ecosystem. By laying down the rules for how tokens can be passed around and keeping score of who owns what, token standards help everyone — developers, users, and services — stay on the same page thereby making it easier for more people to join in the game. In the context of Tezos, these guiding principles are embodied in what are known as Financial Applications (FA) standards. Let’s look into these standards more closely to understand their significance and functionality.FA1.2: Laying the FoundationThe FA1.2 standard is the first token standard created on Tezos and acts much like a blueprint for building and managing digital currency within the Tezos blockchain environment. Imagine it as the initial set of instructions for crafting uniform, interchangeable digital coins — similar to how the ERC-20 standard works for Ethereum.This blueprint focuses on setting up a detailed ledger, akin to a vast, digital ledger book, which meticulously tracks the ownership and distribution of these digital coins. It ensures every transaction, whether it’s moving coins or tokens from one digital wallet to another or granting someone permission to spend coins or tokens on your behalf, is recorded and executed according to the rules.This standard was pivotal in establishing a reliable system for tracking digital assets, serving as the groundwork for more sophisticated forms of digital assets and interactions that could be built on top of Tezos. FA1.2 was the essential first step, paving the way for future innovations and more complex token standards that further enrich the Tezos ecosystem. For more information on the FA1.2 standard, you can check out the Tezos Improvement Proposal 7 (TZIP-7).FA2: A Unified Approach to Token StandardsBuilding on the foundation laid by FA1.2, the FA2 standard, introduces a comprehensive framework capable of supporting various token types:Fungible tokens, for assets that are identical and interchangeableNon-fungible tokens (NFTs), for unique, indivisible assetsNon-transferable tokens, representing rights or memberships that cannot be tradedMulti-asset contracts, enabling the management of diverse assets within a single contractFA2’s versatility lies in its ability to accommodate a wide range of use cases, from digital art to real estate, through a unified standard. It not only simplifies the development process but also enhances interoperability across services and applications within the Tezos ecosystem. More info on the FA2 standard can be found in the Tezos Improvement Proposal – 12 (TZIP-12).Moving Forward: The Evolution to FA2.1 and BeyondMoving forward, the exploration of token standards in Tezos does not stop at FA1.2 and FA2. As the Tezos blockchain space continues to evolve, so too will the standards that support it. Currently, there are already ongoing discussions and development for the FA2.1 standard.The FA2.1 extension aims to integrate additional protocol functionalities while ensuring complete compatibility with existing applications that use the FA2 standard. Some of the new features discussed to be added are:“Events” that provide a solution for the discoverability challenges faced by indexers, enabling them to detect when a token is transferred, particularly when it occurs outside the defined transfer entry point (such as minting, burning, etc.).“On-chain views” that facilitate the seamless sharing of information between smart contracts. For the sake of maintaining compatibility with contracts already in operation, callback views are preserved.“Tickets” which offer a method for representing tokens externally from smart contracts, allowing their transfer without necessitating a call to the originating contract or altering its state. In the context of Tezos rollups, tickets are utilized to represent Layer 1 assets within Layer 2 environments (i.e. Etherlink).Moreover, the concept of a “finite allowance” is introduced, allowing a user to authorize the expenditure of a specified amount of tokens, a feature inspired by the FA1.2 standard.To follow or join the discussion, check out the Tezos Agora thread about the FA2.1 token standard or visit the Tezos Improvement Proposal – 26 (TZIP-26).A little birdie also told me that in addition to FA2.1, there might be a new token standard featuring dynamic metadata very soon. In my opinion, this development is significant enough to warrant a detailed discussion in its own dedicated article so keep an eye out for more information coming very soon!Wrapping up our chat about Tezos and its token standards, it’s clear we’re on a great path with FA1.2, FA2, and the excitement around FA2.1. This stuff might seem a bit technical or niche, but it’s actually a big deal for the builders who create the projects that we all use and anyone interested in how digital tokens and blockchain technology are evolving. If you are interested in more details about Tezos token standards you can check out OpenTezos and the Tezos Documentation which were also part of my sources.These developments allow for better security, interoperability, and new features to be introduced and ultimately improve the user experience. The community around Tezos is really putting in the work, diving into discussions, and developing new ideas to make these token standards even better.In short, keep an eye on Tezos. Whether you’re in it for the tech, the community, or just curious about where digital currencies are headed, there’s plenty to get excited about. And who knows? Maybe you’ll be part of the next big breakthrough in how we use, manage, and think about digital tokens.Navigating Tezos Token Standards: FA1.2, FA2, and Beyond! was originally published in Tezos Commons on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
