What is Cardano?

Cardano is one of the top Proof-of-Stake blockchain platforms contending in the dapp development space. The layered blockchain project allows developers to create smart contracts and dapps, while the native currency, ADA, allows holders to take part in operating the network and voting on changes. 

The digital currency and platform were launched in 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, and is largely academic driven, heavily relying on research and testing input. The platform is named after 16th-century Italian polymath Gerolamo Cardano, while ADA is a nod to the world's first computer programmer, 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace.
