Cardano: a closer look

What Cardano is

Cardano (ADA) is a Proof of Stake blockchain launched in 2017 and led by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum. The project is known for its research-driven, peer-reviewed approach to development.

How Cardano works

Cardano uses the Ouroboros consensus protocol, with a block about every 20 seconds, and an extended UTXO model. ADA holders can delegate to stake pools without locking their coins. The maximum supply is 45 billion ADA.

What Cardano is for

ADA pays fees, is staked to secure the network and is used in Cardano-based DeFi and NFT applications.

Sending ADA

Cardano addresses start with addr1. Fees are low and predictable. A wallet may require a small minimum amount of ADA to accompany token transfers.

Where to keep Cardano

Popular wallets include Eternl, Lace and Yoroi; hardware wallets support ADA too.

What to keep in mind

The ecosystem of applications is smaller than Ethereum's. The price is volatile.
