Our story begins in a fledgling cryptoverse. It’s a new frontier, teeming with possibility. Two empires emerge: Bitcoin and Ethereum. But they’re built on a cracked foundation, with fundamental weaknesses that threaten their very survival…at least to those with the prescience to see it.

Cracks in the Cryptoverse

When two razor-sharp intellects collide, sparks fly and ignite a blaze of crypto exploration. In the early days of their partnership, Arthur and Kathleen Breitman cultivate a cryptocurrency philosophy that prizes self-governance and security.

A Marriage of Ideals

It’s said that if you want something done right, do it yourself. So when Arthur spots flaws in the promising new Ethereum platform, he vows to create a cryptocurrency that lives up to his exacting standards. One that avoids the traps that threaten to snap on other currencies—fragmenting them into oblivion.

The Battle for Tezos

A Taco is Born

Every great turn in history has its thorny origin story: its heroes and anti-heroes, its darkness and light, its struggles and its triumphs. Everything worth fighting for brings its marks of battle. But those who bear its earliest witness will in turn reap its rewards, in honor and in treasure. Those who listen to the story become those who tell the story - the writers of history, the keepers of its tale. Tezos Origins is writing this history in indelible ink, and in real time. We begin at the beginning and ride the twists and turns of the first self-governing blockchain - a project not fit for the faint of heart nor the quick to flinch.
