Buy Cardano (ADA)

Cardano is an open source decentralized blockchain platform on which smart contracts can run. It has its own programming language called Haskell. The Cardano network is primarily used for document and product verification purposes. So buying Cardano contributes to a more stable and reliable network. The platform is named after Gerolamo Cardano, an Italian physician and professor at the University of Pavia and Bologna. He was an avid mathematician and dabbler and wrote on numerous subjects, including philosophy, astrology, physics and law. Ada is the cryptocurrency of the Cardano network. The token is named after Ada Lovelace, the daughter of lord Byron, who was a mathematician and is recognized as the first computer programmer. Lovelace is known for her description of the analytical machine, Charles Babbage's general-purpose mechanical computer.

Charles Hoskinson, one of the founders of Ethereum, began developing this platform in 2015. It was launched in 2017. IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong) is the company behind Cardano, among others, which Hoskinson co-founded with Jeremy Wood, who also worked for Ethereum. This company focuses on products as diverse as Daedalus wallet, Atala, Marlowe language and Plutus smart contracts. All of these products were developed for the Cardano network. The Cardano Foundation oversees the Cardano brand. This foundation promotes the visibility of the protocol around the world, promotes use cases and maintains relationships with key players such as academics, policymakers and regulators. Emurgo is their technology partner, developing commercial adoption of the Cardano protocol and helping companies integrate into Cardano's blockchain. Together, these companies have been building Cardano's adaptation, development and acceptance on the global stage for years.

Cardano is being built in five phases of their roadmap, namely:

1. Founding (Byron era)

2. Decentralization (Shelly era)

3. Smart Contracts (Goguen era)

4. Scaling (Basho era)

5. Governance (Voltaire era)

People

"If we work together we can achieve more for many." Cardano was built by a decentralized community of scientists, makers and thinkers united for a common goal: to create a technology platform that will bring positive change that the world needs. "We don't believe that the future should be determined by the past,". Through technology, more should be possible. "We measure the value of a task not by its difficulty, but by its results." Every holder of ADA also has a stake in the Cardano network. Over time, ADA will be usable for all kinds of applications and services on the Cardano platform.

Purpose

To build a platform for a sustainable future, help people work better together, trust each other and build global solutions to global problems. The destination of global society is to build a safe, transparent and fair society that works for everyone. Cardano provides the technological blueprint for this. Cardano began with the vision of a world without intermediaries, where power lies not with a small group but with the masses. In that world, individuals are in control of their data and how they communicate and act. Companies then have the ability to grow independently of monopolistic and bureaucratic power structures. In it, communities are able to pursue true democracy through self-governance, fair and accountable. This world is what Cardano makes possible.

Technology

Cardano delivers a new standard in technology that is open and inclusive to challenge the old and activate a new era of sustainable and globally distributed innovation. Cardano improves the way we interact, transact and create things and ultimately function as a global society. With Ouroboros as its consensus protocol and Haskell as its programming language, Cardano is a blockchain platform that enables evidence-based developments, enabling very high security and stability. By providing uncompromising evidence for all our goals, Cardano has succeeded in straightening a path less often trodden and enabling a better future for the masses.

Research

Being a pioneer in technology starts with groundbreaking research. Cardano started and grew through research. Before they develop anything, they specify where they want to go and research that, including through peer reviews. As a result, they know the pitfalls. Their research team consists of academics who explore philosophy, sociology, behavior and game theory. Minutely they proceed to consider even the smallest possibilities, nothing is taken for granted to achieve their goal.

Opportunities

Cardano is providing the blueprint for a new era of innovation through their technology, models and methods for individuals and businesses to create new opportunities and effect change. Blockchain technology is the answer to a number of challenges inherited from finance, technology and society. Cardano provides more secure and scalable solutions on a global scale. Through their voting system, everyone gets to create new opportunities based on the desires of the masses, not the few. The best ideas will generally receive the most votes.
