A brief history of Tezos

Tezos was conceived in 2014 by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman. In July 2017, it held a wildly successful initial coin offering that raised $232 million, making it the largest ICO for a brief time until it was overtaken by Filecoin a few months later.

The cryptocurrency hit highs of around $3.90 in February 2020, largely outperforming the majority of altcoins.
