🗳️ Tezos completes ‘historic’ first blockchain vote

Tezos ($XTZ) has completed the first round of voting for two protocol amendment procedures, Athens A and B. Athens A won out with 25,855 community votes, although half of the entire community abstained from voting. Athens A is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) protocol which incorporates higher gas limits for increased transaction throughput and decreases roll sizes from 10,000 XTZ to 8,000 XTZ. Over the next three months, Athens A will go through a series of hurdles and tests until possible finalization as a network upgrade.
