What is Cardano?

Cardano is the first decentralized permissionless blockchain and cryptocurrency project to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach.

The platform seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed within a more balanced and sustainable blockchain ecosystem.

Based on 120+ peer-reviewed research papers

Cardano is a unique social and financial operating system based on blockchain technology.

It is built to make the world work more fairly and efficiently for everyone, by simplifying processes and improving transactions across all industries.

Cardano will create a secure, decentralized way for everyone to connect and transact safely and directly – giving power to people everywhere.
