Have a look into https://tezos.com/ its PoS

The ecological footprint it important in the nft space. https://medium.com/tqtezos/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake-t...

At the moment approximately 40 transactions per second

NFTs on Tezos: https://kalamint.io/ https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/ Minting a NFT costs about 1 cent

A collectible card game called emergents will be based on the chain. https://coa.se/

Further adoption: Recently the biggest retailer in france has announced to develop a stable coin on tezos. https://www.coindesk.com/french-firm-launches-euro-stablecoi... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_Casino

What does tezos bring vs eth2 besides having POS before? The way I see it is another Ethereum killer with no organic community (like Tron, Eos and a bunch more)

Eth1 docking on Eth2 on the roadmap in the next 18 months. The https://beaconcha.in/ has more solo validators online right now than people aware of tezos existence.

Tezos feel like a French project like Minitel was. Ahead of it´s time, theoretically ok supported by short sided ego first French corporate (Casino project reads like multi airlines travel points from the mid 80´s)

Don't get me wrong It worth a lot in the research fundamentals. But so much could be done joining the nationless Ethereum project.

It is self-amending so you don't need to fork. Everyone can inject an upgrade proposal directly in the chain... It allows formal verification and has already privacy preserving smart contracts. Which all are critical points for adoption in fintech. So why join the Vitalik project? :) https://tezos.com/docs/learn/what-is-tezos Currently they upgrade the protocol every 3-4 Month, which is super fast compared to others. The chain is also well decentralized.

I'm completly with you about the awareness of tezos. There was no marketing. In April they will start, what that means, I don't know. It is not a French project, when you look up https://www.nomadic-labs.com/ you see it's also UK, Switzerland, Japan ... The foundation (audited by PwC) is based in Switzerland. "We sustainably deploy resources that support the long-term success of Tezos." https://tezos.foundation/about-us/ They have about 1B USD to back the project, which is spent sparsely.

I don't know where tezos is in 18 months, but it's surely not dead.
