Following Bitcoin’s flash crash and partial recovery on Thursday, altcoins have come into focus as crypto enthusiasts’ scramble to identify the next big crypto opportunity.

What is Tezos (XTZ)?
Tezos is a blockchain protocol for smart contracts, similar to Ethereum. However, XTZ has a more advanced infrastructure that is unlikely to face a hard fork as Bitcoin or Ethereum has in the past.
The coin has gained after popular American rap artist Doja Cat launched a Genesis NFT collection called Planet Doja on Thursday. The NFT collection is on One Of, a green NFT platform, which has been built on the XTZ blockchain protocol.
Doja Cat’s next NFT launch from this collection is set to be unveiled today. The NFT is targeted at rap music fans and artists.
Owners of these NFTs will have access to concert tickets and other features.
