After Bitcoin and Ethereum, Cardano is the third generation public blockchain as the project calls itself. Cardano was launched with the vision to address the current challenges of the cryptocurrency world which is scalability, harm to the environment due to excessive energy consumption.

Who Created the ADA Token?

One of the reasons behind Cardano’s success and popularity is its founding team. Cardano is the brainchild of Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of ethereum and IOHK. Charles left ethereum after an argument over the commercialization of the Ethereum blockchain.

After leaving Ethereum Charles along with Jeremy Wood started working on a better and improved blockchain that is more scalable and environmentally friendly. Cardano ADA is the first peer-reviewed and academically developed blockchain. Launched in 2015, IOHK is the research and development company behind the design and engineering of Cardano’s native token ADA and its blockchain.

How Does Cardano Work?

There are two main parts of the Cardano blockchain. The Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) serves as a unit of account, allowing token holders to send and receive ADA in real-time with low transaction fees. Another part is the Cardano Computational Layer which ensures the security of the blockchain and helps to run smart contracts.

Cardano relies on the Ouroboros consensus protocol, which is a uniquely built proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain technology. This consensus process ensures quick and secure transfer of ADA, as well as the security of smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain.
