What is Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is a blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed research, aiming to provide a more balanced and sustainable ecosystem for cryptocurrencies. Its native token, ADA, powers the network and is used for everything from transactions to staking and governance. What makes Cardano unique is its methodical, research-driven approach—every upgrade is based on peer-reviewed studies, ensuring a solid foundation for innovation. The project was founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum’s co-founders. Hoskinson envisioned a blockchain that could improve on the limitations of earlier platforms while being more energy-efficient and adaptable. Cardano officially launched in 2017 and introduced Ouroboros, its proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which uses far less energy than traditional proof-of-work systems. Cardano’s architecture is built with two layers: one for handling ADA transactions (the Cardano Settlement Layer) and another for running smart contracts and decentralized applications (the Cardano Computational Layer). This separation allows the platform to scale more efficiently while remaining flexible for future developments. Beyond its technical features, Cardano is making an impact in real-world applications. It’s been used in projects like tracking educational credentials in Ethiopia and providing digital identity solutions through Atala PRISM. The platform is also gaining traction in decentralized finance (DeFi) and supply chain management. Governance is a big part of Cardano’s ecosystem. ADA holders can participate in decision-making through a decentralized voting system, giving the community a say in how the network evolves. This aligns with Cardano’s mission to create an inclusive and transparent blockchain. By combining cutting-edge technology with a focus on sustainability and real-world use cases, Cardano is positioning itself as a leader in the future of blockchain innovation.
