The Tezos blockchain has been upgraded for the first time after stakeholders spent 3 months voting. The upgrade (called Athens A) reduces the minimum amount of tokens required for a user to become a baker on the network and increases computation limits on Tezos blocks to allow for larger transaction throughput.Tezos has a unique method of on-chain governance. Upgrades can be automated, decentralized, and self-funding.I talk to Arthur Breitman of the Tezos project about this process and the recent upgrade.To watch the video of the episode, visit: https://youtu.be/6f-ek3ssH1Q .
