Cardano

Cardano is a blockchain platform that aims to be a decentralized application (DApp) development platform with a multi-asset ledger and verifiable smart contracts. Cardano is being built in five stages: foundation, decentralization, smart contracts, scaling and governance.

· Cardano runs on the proof-of-stake Ouroboros consensus protocol and developments are informed by scholarly academic research.

· The primary cryptocurrency of Cardano is called “ada.”

· Cardano oversight is decentralized and shared by The Cardano Foundation, IOHK, and EMURGO.
