Cardano is a smart contract platform and cryptocurrency built to be scalable, secure, and energy-efficient. Created by one of the co-founders of Ethereum, Cardano takes a research-first approach to blockchain development, using peer-reviewed academic research to guide its design.
Launched in 2017, Cardano supports decentralised apps, tokens, and smart contracts, similar to Ethereum, but with an emphasis on sustainability and long-term governance. Its native cryptocurrency, ADA, is used for transactions and staking within the Cardano network.
Cardano is designed to evolve in phases and has built a strong reputation for stability, low fees, and a well-organised roadmap. It’s popular among developers, institutions, and retail investors who believe in long-term utility over hype. If you're looking for a forward-thinking crypto project with strong foundations, Cardano offers a compelling entry point.
Cardano is used to build and run decentralised apps, process transactions, and stake tokens in a proof-of-stake network.
