Cardano ADA

On 2024-12-30 the current Cardano price/exchange rate is 0.8217 EUR.

Cardano is a decentralized Proof-of-Stake (PoS) platform on the blockchain network. 

It is proclaimed to be a third-generation blockchain. 

The “third-generation” means that this is the blockchain network with new solutions like:

Cardano has its own cryptocurrency ADA. The ADA can be used as a means of preserving value or for sending and receiving funds.

Cardano developed its own Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm Ouroboros. 

With Ouroboros, the transactions are validated via “Pools”. 

Pools are the servers that actually process transactions, and to do that they are using the wallets of ADA holders. 

ADA holders have to authorize Pool to sign transactions on their behalf.

Ouroboros rewards users who stake their ADA to validate transactions and help secure consensus.

The advantage of this mode of operation over the Proof-of-Work system is the mathematical certainty in choosing a blockchain validator, and the speed and lower power consumption.

At the time of writing this text, the number of ADA tokens in circulation is about 35 billion. 

The total number of ADA tokens that can ever exist in circulation is 45 billion ADA.

Security - Cardano’s Proof-of-Stake algorithm Ouroboros ensures mathematically proven safety. 

Scalability - according to its developers, Cardano intends to improve scalability by tackling three key elements: TPS (Transactions per second, network, and data scaling.

Interoperability - Cardano plans to connect cryptocurrencies within its ecosystem with the global financial ecosystem. 

Faster transactions - thanks to the Proof-of-Stake mechanism, Cardano could create several blocks of transactions, unlike Bitcoin, which creates only one block at a time.

Since it uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, Cardano can’t be mined. 

That means you don’t need any electronic devices for mining. 

However, you can get Cardano on any crypto exchange or by staking. 

You can keep your ADA coins on your Cardano wallet online, and in return, you can receive a certain percentage of your already-owned ADA coins as payment.

Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum, began the process of developing the Cardano network in 2015, and it was officially launched in 2017.

Three organizations are responsible for the development of Cardano:

An interesting fact is that the IOHK organization cooperates with a team of world scientists whose task is to research and test new features and updates before they start with the actual application.
