Yet only those with advanced innovation manage to survive in this scenario. This is the case of Cardano, a crypto project that managed to position itself among the TOP 10 of cryptocurrencies, according to Coinbase, in just three years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardano is an open source <em>blockchain<\/em> created in 2015<\/strong> by Charles Hoskinson, one <strong>of Ethereum creators,<\/strong> and by great academic scientists who make up the Cardano Foundation launched two years later, in 2017. <strong>Cardano hosts the ADA cryptocurrency,<\/strong> a native <em>token<\/em> that enables performing <strong>direct transfers without intermediaries, immediately and with hardly any commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cardano (ADA) therefore solves such issues as poor scalability of other <em>blockchain<\/em> projects, as well as the transactions being slow or the security issues of other networks. This means <strong>ADA is a fast, scalable, and secure coin.<\/strong> Cardano is capable of processing between 50 and 250 transactions per second, unlike Bitcoin that only runs 7 or Ethereum that runs 15 to 20. Meanwhile, the team want the <em>blockchain<\/em> to validate as many as 5,000 transactions per second.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Overpass|300|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Overpass|900|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;80px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.25em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Overpass|900|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#ffd000&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;45px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;-1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;justified&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;left&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ffd000;\">ADA Is the Money of the Future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; prev_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#eaeaea&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;slant&#8221; top_divider_height=&#8221;60px&#8221; top_divider_flip=&#8221;horizontal&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.3&#8243;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/cryptos724.com\/como-comprar-cardano-ada\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Buy Cardano (ADA)&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#fc7500&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;30px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Overpass|900||on|||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;%%281%%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;18px||15px||false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.3&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Overpass|300|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Overpass|900|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;80px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.25em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Overpass|900|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#fc7500&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;45px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;-1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;60px||0px|||&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;justified&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;left&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">How Does Cardano (ADA) Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.3&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Overpass|300|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Overpass|900|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;80px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.25em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;justified&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;left&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Cardano is an <em>open source blockchain<\/em>, which uses a special kind of <em>Proof of Stake<\/em> consensus, Ouroboros.
