What is ADA?
Cardano is a third-generation blockchain designed for scalability, sustainability, and security. It utilizes a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared to Bitcoin. Cardano aims to support a secure and decentralized smart contract ecosystem, competing with Ethereum by providing a more research-driven approach.
Founded in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum’s co-founders, Cardano was developed through peer-reviewed research and academic collaboration. The project is led by IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong) and has been rolling out major upgrades in multiple phases. With a strong emphasis on formal verification and governance, Cardano is designed to support enterprise-level applications and financial inclusion initiatives worldwide.
