About Cardano
Cardano (ADA) is a smart-contract blockchain founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, known for its research-driven, peer-reviewed approach to development. It uses an energy-efficient proof-of-stake system, and its native token ADA pays fees, is used in governance and can be staked for rewards. Cardano aims to provide a secure, scalable platform for decentralised applications, with a particular focus on financial inclusion in developing regions, including Africa. Development has been deliberate and sometimes slow, drawing both praise and criticism. ADA is a large but highly volatile and high-risk cryptocurrency.
