Buy Cardano (ADA) Cryptocurrency

ADA is the native token of the Cardano network (the “Cardano Network”). The Cardano Network is an open-source, smart-contract platform. The development of the Cardano Network is overseen by the Cardano Foundation, an independent non-profit organization. The Cardano Foundation works closely with Input Output HK (“IOHK”) and EMURGO, which provide development support to the Cardano Foundation. The founders of IOHK, Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood, were the initial creators of the Cardano Network.

Through the use of layered design, the Cardano Network has implemented or intends to implement a number of innovative features, such as network delegation, sidechains and light client data structures.

The Cardano Network uses a proof-of-stake (“PoS”) protocol consensus mechanism called “Ouroboros” to validate transactions on network.

Ouroboros processes transaction blocks by dividing blockchains into “epochs,” which are further divided into “time slots.” A “slot leader” is elected for each time slot and is responsible for adding a block to the chain. Ouroboros distributes network control across stake pools (i.e., node operators with the infrastructure required to ensure a consistent and reliable connection to the network). For each time slot, a stake pool is assigned as the slot leader, and is rewarded for adding a block to the chain. ADA holders may delegate their stake to a specific stake pool, increasing its chance of being selected as the slot leader, and share in the stake pool’s rewards. The use of PoS protocols is generally more energy efficient than using proof of work protocols, which is what is deployed on the Bitcoin network, and the Cardano Foundation suggests that the other features of Ouroboros make it a more scalable and secure consensus mechanism than others.

Like ether, the native digital currency for the Ethereum network, ADA can function as a means of exchange and/or a store of value, with its value also being influenced by the additional use cases associated with its network.

 The Cardano Network competes directly with the Ethereum network and similar projects for market share. Like the Ethereum Network, the Cardano Network will implement an additional application layer that significantly lowers the entry barrier for developers to create their own smart contracts and decentralized applications (“apps”). Developers on the Cardano Network will be able to program dapps with far fewer restrictions compared to the Bitcoin network. Dapps are not governed by any central body and are instead controlled by the logic written into the smart contract, which self-executes once its predefined terms are met. The Cardano Network anticipates supporting dapps on the Cardano Network through the use of Plutus, a purpose-built smart contract development language and execution platform using the functional programming language Haskell, and Marlowe, a high-level, domain-specific language for financial contracts which is built on Plutus.
