About Nomadic Labs

The Tezos blockchain is a decentralized ledger that redefines the meaning of holding and exchanging assets in a digital, connected world. Its key value proposition is to be self-amendable: contrary to other blockchains, it can evolve continuously with no need for so-called “blockchain forks” that endanger the user assets.

Nomadic Labs is one of the largest research and development centers within the Tezos ecosystem. This Paris-based company brings together more than 60 people, the majority of whom are highly-skilled software engineers (25+ PhDs) contributing to the Tezos engineering roadmap.

Nomadic Labs prioritizes three key areas: (1) maintaining the Tezos blockchain’s position as a technological leader in the blockchain industry through deep expertise in functional programming (OCaml, Rust), formal methods, cryptography, and decentralized systems; (2) driving the adoption of Tezos technology; and (3) assisting companies and institutions in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany to leverage the Tezos blockchain for their business requirements by offering dedicated technical support.
