Cardano (ADA-USD)
Cardano is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform focused on providing a secure and scalable infrastructure for developing smart contracts and decentralized applications. It was created in 2017 by a team of developers led by Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum. Cardano utilizes a unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm called Ouroboros, designed to be more energy-efficient and secure than traditional proof-of-work algorithms. Cardano also has a built-in governance system that allows stakeholders to vote on protocol updates and changes to the network. As a result, Cardano is often compared to Ethereum as a potential competitor in the smart contract and decentralized application space.
