About Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform launched in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson (co-founder of Ethereum) and his team at Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK). Cardano is distinguished by its research-driven approach — protocol changes are proposed through peer-reviewed academic papers before implementation. The platform uses the Ouroboros consensus algorithm, the first provably secure proof-of-stake protocol. Cardano introduced smart contracts in 2021 through the Alonzo hard fork, enabling DeFi applications like SundaeSwap and Minswap. ADA is used for staking, network fees, and governance. The Cardano roadmap is organized into eras (Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho, Voltaire), each adding capabilities like smart contracts, scaling, and on-chain governance. Cardano has particular strength in development in Africa, where partnerships with national governments focus on identity and credentials infrastructure.
