Cardano is a blockchain platform that aims to be an Ethereum killer. Created by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson in 2015, Cardano seeks to solve some of the issues he saw with the Ethereum network. Since its launch, Cardano has partnered with organizations and governments to further develop its technology and real-world use cases.
A Brief History of Cardano
2015 - Charles Hoskinson and his companies Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK) and the Cardano Foundation begin working on the Cardano blockchain. 2017 - IOHK partners with universities around the world for blockchain research. Hoskinson donates to the University of Wyoming to support blockchain development. 2018 - IOHK partners with the Ethiopian government to build an immutable record-keeping system to track student identities and performance. How Cardano's Blockchain Works Cardano uses a proof-of-stake consensus protocol that is designed to be energy efficient. The native ADA token functions as a payment currency and is used to pay transaction fees.
The Cardano blockchain has two layers:
- Settlement layer - Where users can transact ADA. Transactions use a UTXO model like Bitcoin for security.
- Computation layer - Where smart contracts are deployed and executed. This separation provides scalability and efficiency.
