What it actually costs to sell XTZ
Selling $100,000 of XTZ into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken XTZ/USD | 1.06% | $98,943 | 2026-10-14 |
| Coinbase XTZ/USD | 13.7% | $86,305 | 2026-10-14 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps XTZ on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.

Our own measurement · measured 14 October 2026
Tez can be put behind a baker, Tezos's name for a validator, in two ways. Delegating leaves it spendable at any time and carries no penalty if the baker misbehaves. Staking locks it, though it stays in your own account, shares the baker's penalties, and takes up to 4 days to undo.

Tezos runs programs stored on its chain, which cannot be changed once deployed, and the fees are paid in tez. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

About the asset
Tezos has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.
