Cardano is a third-generation decentralized blockchain platform built to overcome the scalability, interoperability, and sustainability challenges faced by earlier blockchain systems. Engineered with a research-driven and peer-reviewed approach, Cardano offers a robust and flexible foundation for developing decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and a wide range of blockchain-based innovations. Its native cryptocurrency, ADA—named in honor of Ada Lovelace, a 19th-century mathematician regarded as the world’s first computer programmer—powers transactions and staking across the network. With a layered architecture and a strong focus on academic rigor, Cardano aims to deliver a secure, efficient, and future-proof ecosystem for the evolving crypto landscape.
