Cardano (ADA) is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. Launched in 2017, Cardano distinguishes itself through its research-driven approach, with all platform developments undergoing academic peer review. The project aims to create a more secure, transparent, and sustainable blockchain ecosystem for building decentralized applications and smart contracts.
Cardano's development follows a unique, phased roadmap based on scientific research. Each phase is named after influential historical figures: Byron (foundation), Shelley (decentralization), Goguen (smart contracts), Basho (scaling), and Voltaire (governance). This methodical approach prioritizes security and sustainability over rapid development, resulting in a platform that aims to address the shortcomings of earlier blockchain generations.
Cardano operates on Ouroboros, the first provably secure proof-of-stake protocol. This consensus mechanism divides time into epochs and slots, with slot leaders selected to create blocks based on stake. Ouroboros is designed to be energy-efficient, using just a fraction of the electricity required by proof-of-work systems like Bitcoin. ADA holders can delegate their stake to earn rewards without transferring custody of their funds.
Cardano transactions are typically considered final after approximately 5 minutes (10-20 block confirmations). The network produces blocks every 20 seconds on average. Transaction fees on Cardano are generally low compared to other smart contract platforms, making it cost-effective for various applications. When exchanging ADA, no special tags or memos are required for standard wallet addresses.
