ecoo was built on Tezos, a decentralized blockchain network designed to provide the upgradeability, security, and continuity required for long-term, high-value applications. The protocol’s on-chain upgrade process, proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, and ability to facilitate formal verification make Tezos an ideal long-term solution for digital transactions, including smart contracts and digital securities. Tezos is open-source, fully decentralized, and can be used by companies and individuals worldwide.
