Cardano (ADA): The story so far

Ever since the inception of Bitcoin and Ethereum, other cryptocurrencies have been produced with new ideas to solve the problems associated with global finance. Without no doubt, one of the most important digital assets in the crypto verse is Cardano (ADA); and it is essential to know that its founder, Charles Hoskinson, is a well-renowned personality with a great vision.

A Deep Dive into Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) was created in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson, who is also the founder of IOHK. He was also the co-founder of Ethereum.

Cardano was created under the principles of science and blockchain. The blockchain protocol is quite new in the crypto market, but it is emerging as one of the best cryptocurrency today.

All these plans started way back in 2011 when Hoskinson initiated the idea of blockchain and cryptos. At that time, Bitcoin was the main cryptocurrency and its tool: PoW (Proof-of-Work), was the most used technique.

As a result of scalability problems and charges during the transaction, PoS (Proof-of-Stake) got introduced, and Hoskinson has made a vast improvement on PoS – creating a new advanced PoS mechanism with a consensus network called Ouroborus.

Subsequently, Cardano’s new consensus protocol, Ouroborus, was introduced to create a faster means for transactions with minimal costs. One thing worth noting is, Ouroborus consumes less energy, and it is efficient.

With this, Cardano (ADA) has been able to solve one of the main problems that Bitcoin and Ethereum have not been able to resolve, thus, making it one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the market today.

Furthermore, we do know that the main problems of cryptocurrencies are, scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. Cardano was created in a way that makes it distinct to solve those problems. The cryptocurrency is divided into architectural layers to offer top-notch security for smart contracts.
