Sygnum explains :
We are strong supporters of Tezos and its unique Liquid Proof-of-Stake governance mechanism.
Sygnum is registered as a bank by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and offers a range of services for corporate and institutional clients.
The bank uses the solution provided by the company Taurus to store and secure its clients‘ assets.
Explanations of the Liquid Proof-of-Stake
Tezos uses a consensus validation process known as Liquid Proof-of-Stake. The miners in the Tezos blockchain are called „bakers“ or „bakers“. Thus, new Tezos blocks are created by a randomly selected baker. This validation consensus derived from the Proof-of-Stake does not require a mining machine and does not consume energy.
Recently, the EDF Group, through its subsidiary Exaion, chose to participate in the operation of the Tezos blockchain.
