What is Cardano? (ADA)

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed academic research. Unlike most blockchain projects that ship first and iterate later, Cardano's protocol is developed through formal methods and published research papers, with each upgrade verified before deployment. ADA, the network's native cryptocurrency, is used to pay transaction fees, participate in staking, and vote on governance proposals that shape the protocol's future. Founded in 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is developed by Input Output (IOHK) and runs on Ouroboros — the first proof-of-stake consensus protocol with peer-reviewed security guarantees. The network's total supply is capped at 45 billion ADA. Cardano supports smart contracts and a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications, with real-world deployments in areas like digital identity and credential verification across emerging markets.
