About Cardano

Cardano is a research-driven cryptocurrency. Cardano is the first proof-of-stake blockchain platform to be founded on peer-reviewed research. It's powered by Ouroboros, a protocol that its proponents claim has improved upon security, scalability and energy efficiency versus other proof-of-work predecessors, like Bitcoin. ADA is the native token of Cardano and can be staked to earn rewards.
