Cardano (ADA) price
#15About the project
Cardano is a smart contract blockchain founded in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum's co-founders. It is known for a research-first approach: protocols are peer-reviewed, and its Ouroboros consensus is described in academic papers.
Cardano runs on proof-of-stake: ADA holders delegate to stake pools and earn rewards without locking their coins. Development is led by Input Output, the Cardano Foundation and Emurgo, and governance is moving to token holders through on-chain voting.
