Cardano
[ADA]

Cardano is a blockchain featuring an energy-efficient Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol and a dual-layer architecture.

Cardano is a blockchain platform powered by the energy-efficient Ouroboros proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol. Its native cryptocurrency, ADA, is integral to the network, supporting transactions, staking, governance, and smart contracts, with a capped supply of 45 billion tokens. ADA plays a key role in diverse applications, including finance, gaming, art, and supply chain management, while also contributing to network security and the operation of decentralized applications.

Cardano's dual-layer architecture separates settlement from computation, enhancing scalability and flexibility. The platform's development is structured into distinct eras—Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho, and Voltaire—each focused on progressively building a secure, scalable, and sustainable ecosystem. ADA's use cases extend beyond trading, with significant potential in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other advanced blockchain applications, making it a prominent asset in the crypto landscape.
