About TLOS
Telos is a high-performance, decentralized layer-1 blockchain platform designed to support scalable Web3 applications, decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and real-world asset tokenization. Launched in 2018, Telos was built to address key limitations of older blockchains, focusing on high speed, low fees, environmental sustainability, and governance efficiency. One of Telos' standout features is its extremely fast transaction processing capability — handling up to 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) with near-zero transaction fees. It achieves this through an advanced Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism and optimized infrastructure. This makes Telos suitable for applications that require speed and scalability, like decentralized exchanges (DEXs), GameFi platforms, and NFT marketplaces. The native token of the ecosystem, TLOS, serves several roles: staking, governance, paying for network resources, and participating in decentralized applications built on Telos. TLOS runs on both the Telos EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and Telos Native chains, giving developers flexibility to build with Solidity or EOSIO smart contracts. Telos is also carbon-neutral and highly energy-efficient, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to energy-intensive blockchains like Bitcoin. It supports advanced governance features, including transparent on-chain voting and decentralized decision-making through its Telos Decide governance engine. The Telos ecosystem has expanded to include tools for decentralized identity (dIDs), DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and scalable GameFi infrastructure, positioning it as a next-generation blockchain optimized for real-world adoption.
