EmailTezos hopes to extend the Tezos ecosystem to everyone with an email address. It is created by Tezos enthusiasts to showcase the unique capabilities of Tezos and its ecosystem to the whole world.

Our team started out with a quest to bring the best of two worlds — Internet and Blockchain — to create a more seamless blockchain experience.

Email is one of the most widely used internet mediums and still offers users enough freedom to choose their own levels of privacy and security. Even though it might not be trivial for some one to setup a bullet-proof Email, it is still much better than anything out there in the world wide web.

Tezos is one of the best Proof-of-Stake blockchain networks. Every blockchain network is created with a unique purpose. What makes Tezos interesting is the governance model and the network’s ability to upgrade itself. We believe there is huge potential in Tezos and it should be more widely accessible.

EmailTezos is the result.

So what makes EmailTezos different?

  • The speed at which a new user can get started — with just an email address and password — without having to install apps or download key files. This makes a huge difference when onboarding new members to the Tezos community.
  • Support for FA1.2 assets — to extend the power of Tezos to new use cases. tzBTC is supported today. More coming soon.
  • Support for FA2 Assets — Coming soon.
  • A new way to send Tezos to people — by entering just their email addresses — whether they have been previously onboarded or not.
  • Bakers Marketplace— to help users find the right Baker and earn rewards by delegating their XTZ
  • Finally, the ability to login directly in to Decentralized apps built on Tezos.

Here is a sneak peek:

Our team has built many multi-currency/multi-network wallets in past. But this time we decided to build a wallet specifically focused on Tezos and Tezos-based Assets. It is the best way we can highlight the strengths of Tezos and tailor the features to benefit Tezos users. We believe this level of attention is necessary for the Tezos ecosystem to grow and realize its vision.

Try it out and let us now what you think. We value every feedback and hope to work with the community to build a great product. On that note, we recently did an AMA with our friends at CryptoLiveLeak and StakerDAO. The recording is embedded below and it might address some of your questions.
