What Is Cardano (ADA)? Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain focused on security, scalability, and peer-reviewed research, supporting smart contracts and decentralized applications.

A research-driven blockchain powered by the Ouroboros Proof of Stake protocol. It is structured in layers, separating value accounting from transaction logic, aiming for high security and sustainable scalability through peer-reviewed development.

Peer-Reviewed Infrastructure: Used for staking to secure the network, participate in on-chain governance, and serve as a secure platform for decentralized identity and government use cases.

Scientific Proof-of-Stake: Has a maximum supply cap of 45 billion. Used for staking to secure the network and for on-chain governance. Liquid staking can let users earn rewards and participate without fully locking up funds (depending on the method used).
