Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.

Ada is a digital currency. Any user, located anywhere in the world, can use ada as a secure exchange of value – without requiring a third party to mediate the exchange. Every transaction is permanently, securely, and transparently recorded on the Cardano blockchain.

The Plomin hard fork is a key upgrade for Cardano, enabling full decentralized governance under the Voltaire era. It allows ada holders to delegate voting power to DReps for decisions on protocol updates, treasury withdrawals, and hard forks.

Cardano is a decentralized third-generation proof-of-stake blockchain platform and home to the ada cryptocurrency. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach.

Cardano is a blockchain platform built on the groundbreaking Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol, and developed using the Haskell programming language: a functional programming language that enables Cardano to pursue evidence-based development, for unparalleled security and stability.

Dec 20, 2017 · Even though I have great faith in the team (which is the reason why ADA is my only investment without a working minimum viable product - a personal rule that I’ve broken for Cardano), I think that a speculation of $10K is a little far reached.

Stay informed and participate in Cardano’s decentralized governance. View all on-chain actions, including those recently submitted, ratified, enacted, expired, or dropped. Engage with ongoing proposals, track their progress, and understand their impact on the network.

Cardano enables fast, low-cost, and secure payments using its native token, ada. By eliminating intermediaries, Cardano reduces transaction fees and settlement times, making it ideal for remittances and peer-to-peer transfers. Browse wallets, gateways and bridges in the showcase.

The protocol is guaranteed to be secure so long as 51% of the stake – in the case of Cardano, ada – is held by honest participants, which, in addition to other novel concepts, is achieved through random leader selection. The protocol continues to evolve through new iterations and rigorous security analysis.
