$ADA What Is Cardano?

Cardano is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that aims to provide a more secure and scalable infrastructure for the development and execution of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It was founded in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum.

Cardano is unique because it emphasizes a research-driven and peer-reviewed development approach. The platform is developed by IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong), a technology company that collaborates with academic institutions to ensure that its technology is scientifically sound.
