After its release in 2005, Cardano has been among the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the market. It has gained unexpected popularity and hype in the crypto industry.

Cardano’s technology and popularity are growing fast and it looks to compete with Ethereum in creating a sizable blockchain ecosystem.

Now let us look into Cardano in more detail.

What Is Cardano?

Cardano is a digital coin that may be used to send and receive money and store value. The Cardano blockchain is the fastest-growing decentralized network entirely founded on scientific and mathematical concepts and created by specialists in the disciplines of cryptography and engineering.

ADA is the coin hosted by Cardano. Implementing smart contracts with the Cardano blockchain can result in the development of decentralized applications and protocols.

The Cardano platform can be used for the instantaneous, inexpensive sending and receiving of payments in both corporate and financial sectors.

Charles Hoskinson, Co-founder Of Cardano Blockchain

Who Created Cardano?

Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum is the mastermind behind this fast-paced crypto platform.

During the successful years of Ethereum, Hoskinson thought of a more standardized platform and with his knowledge in mathematics and science, he began to develop plans about a smart blockchain platform in scientifically better ways.

Jerry Wood, another co-founder of Ethereum had the same plan that Hoskinson had. So when these two geniuses started to work together and thus formed the blockchain platform, Cardano.

How Does It Work?

Cardano aims to be the most ecologically friendly blockchain platform. It replaces the energy-intensive proof-of-work approach now employed by bitcoin and Ethereum with a new proof-of-stake consensus mechanism named Ouroboros.

The blockchain platform uses a consensus method to make sure that no one spends the same money twice without a facilitator like Visa or PayPal. This consensus mechanism used in the blockchain is known as the proof-of-work.

Proof of stake is another mechanism used in Cardano. It uses a network of invested participants called validators rather than a network of miners competing to solve a puzzle. Validators stake their ADA in place of miners who contribute processing power to safeguard the network and validate transactions.

To make sure the transactions are done in seconds, the Cardano blockchain has been divided into two layers. 

  • The Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL): it includes the balances and account ledger and it is where the transactions are validated by the Ouroboros consensus mechanism.
  • Cardano Computing Layer (CCL): all blockchain-based calculations are carried out by this layer using the functions of smart contracts.

Features Of Cardano

Let’s see what are the major features of Cardano.

  • Cardano supports smart contracts, which execute themselves when the requirements of the contract are fulfilled.
  • Cardano makes it possible to Conduct transactions with other persons or entities directly and without the need for permission by cutting out the intermediary, such as banks and other financial organizations.
  • You can send or receive XCardano using a cryptocurrency wallet, or you can swap it for products and services.
  • Cardano, being a decentralized finance, enables users in lending, trading, assets management, insurance, and other common financial services. 

What Is ADA?

The native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain platform is known as ADA. It is named after the 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace, who is frequently referred to as the “world’s first computer programmer.”

Similar to how the ETH tokens power the Ethereum network, ADA tokens power the Cardano platform. In the future, ADA will also be utilized as a governance token, enabling holders to decide how the Cardano platform will be improved and changed.

Major Stakeholders Of Cardano

As we mentioned earlier, Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood together found the blockchain platform, Cardano. But in fact, these two founders of Cardano aren’t the ones who own or operate the business.

The business is taken forward by many stakeholders. The main stakeholders of them are the Cardano Foundation, which serves as the platform’s non-profit custodian and aids in marketing and securing the blockchain.

IOHK is another stakeholder in Cardano which is a research development firm that Hoskinson and Wood founded in 2015. This firm has contributed much to the development of Carano and its designs. EMURGO serves as a significant funding source for Cardano and supports its advancement.

Future Of Cardano

The Cardano platform is now supporting smart contracts and it may be able to support a variety of the latest apps.

According to the developers, It also permits the developers to work on Cardano projects using the well-known Solidity programming language later this year when it becomes compatible with Ethereum-based smart contracts.

Cardano, the blockchain platform intends to build community-driven governance and an automated treasury system to decentralize the network’s funding.

Certain predictions regarding the price of Cardano coins state that by the end of 2022, its price will be about $2.57 and will increase to $4.14 by the end of 2023.

In 2025, the price might increase to $10.15 and will reach $39.49 by the year 2030.
