Academic foundations: 100+ peer-reviewed white papers (and counting). 📓

Global organisations are using those papers to drive conversations around decentralized infrastructure.

Environmentally-friendly Blockchain: Through proof of stake, Cardano is able to operate nodes on a Raspberry Pi.

In theory, achieving more than four-million times the energy efficiency compared to proof of work, like Bitcoin.

Fully decentralised: Since March 2021, 100% of all block production on Cardano has been handled by community-driven stake pools.

Predictable: Fees required for a valid transaction can be predicted precisely prior to posting it.

One of the biggest objections against blockchain is that fees for other industry-standard protocols vary & can be higher than what's being sent.

Secure: Whenever a behavior can be predicted, it can be exploited.

Cardano generates unbiased randomness in the protocol’s leader selection algorithm, preventing the formation of patterns.

Secure (2): Our native tokens use the same underlying token logic as the Cardano ledger.

This means they don't use smart contracts, and are not vulnerable to smart contract exploits like ERC-20 + others.

Socially conscious: Money isn't everything, but it can help change lives.

US$500,000,000 worth of ada is currently being delegated to charity-focused initiatives on Cardano through mission-driven stake pools.

Socially conscious (2): Save the Children can now receive and hold ada donations without the necessity to first convert into fiat currencies.

Since this announcement, a further US$270 million has flowed to mission driven pools.

Continually evolving: Unlike traditional software and systems, Cardano can be upgraded and improved at regular intervals without the disruption synonymous with changes & maintenance.
