All the latest news and key insights you need from Cardano
Cardano is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and token creation. Built on peer-reviewed academic research, Cardano stands out for its scientific approach, formal verification, and use of a unique proof-of-stake consensus called Ouroboros. It aims to deliver sustainability, efficiency, and interoperability across the Web3 ecosystem.
Cardano was created to overcome key challenges faced by earlier blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, including high energy consumption, limited scalability, and lack of interoperability. Its mission is to provide a more balanced and sustainable blockchain infrastructure suitable for global adoption across finance, governance, education, and identity systems, all while maintaining decentralization and security.
$ADA is the native token of the Cardano blockchain, named after Ada Lovelace. It powers all activities within the ecosystem and is central to its operations.
Cardano launched its Byron mainnet, introducing the ADA token and establishing the foundational settlement layer.
The Shelley upgrade activated decentralized staking, allowing users to delegate and earn ADA through stake pools.
The Alonzo hard fork enabled smart contracts via Plutus, paving the way for DeFi and decentralized apps on Cardano.
The Mary hard fork added native multi-asset support, enabling token creation and transactions on Cardano without smart contracts.
