Collaborative Research

We have established scientific partnerships with some of the best research organizations, such as Inria, CEA-LIST and IMDEA software institute in Madrid (Spain). We also collaborate closely with researchers from Marigold, DaiLambda, Tarides, the OCaml Labs, Cryptonomic, Runtime Verification, Viable Systems, Segfault Systems and many developers from the Tezos ecosystem.

Scientific publications related to Tezos

The core community of Tezos was built from the start in close relationship to research on blockchains and related areas. As a result, the number of research works on Tezos has kept increasing ever since.

This page lists research papers, where Tezos is either part of the proposed contribution or an object of research. Papers where Tezos is just discussed as related work have not been included.
