Tickets for dummies
Tezos tickets are a built-in generic data type, with strong invariants enforced by the type system. That’s a mouthful and doesn’t convey much without context. Tickets: what, why, how? What makes tickets tick? So let’s talk about tickets. And let’s not assume any prior knowledge about linear types, michelson primitives or the edo protocol period, and let’s take our time. First, let’s give some context.
TzVote
Marigold is happy to announce a free voting DApp based on Tezos. This application proposes different voting templates to support election diversity. There is no hidden fees or intermediary contracts, the user deploys and owns his contract on Tezos networks.
Understand your bigmap
Learn how bigmaps work, how are they used for and why it is a very practical structure in Michelson.
It’s been a little over one year since Marigold formed, and I’ve been reflecting on my experience working on Tezos in that time. We’ve also recently had “Marigold week”, our very first IRL gathering, which was a lot of fun, and I’m feeling sentimental. On this double count, I’d like to relate to you why I enjoy working on the Tezos blockchain.
Tips for Using Views
Part of Hangzhou protocol update, learn more about how Views feature works and find advice for using it.
How TzStamp works
Introducing TzStamp, a cryptographic timestamping service that uses the Tezos blockchain to prove a file existed at or before a particular time.
Announcing Hangzhou2
As announced in our previous blog post, a critical bug was found in the implemention of views introduced in protocol proposal PtHangzHo. Through the joint efforts of Marigold, Nomadic Labs, and Trilitech, we have developed a patched protocol PtHangz2a that includes a fix to this bug, as well as several other bug fixes implemented after injection of PtHangzHo.
What consensus algorithms are, what consensus algorithms are not and why we need them
Consensus algorithms are often described as the key component of blockchain. This is wrong.
Introducing Tezos Cache
Tezos now has an active memory, cache mechanism that can store recently-used information.
Introducing Global Constants
In protocol Hangzhou, we introduce a small but powerfulfeature called global constants to address this issue.
BLS Signatures
BLS is a scheme for making digital signature using pairing friendly elliptic curves.
