What is Cardano?

Cardano is a peer reviewed third generation Proof of Stake blockchain, founded on a scientific philosophy. Cardano’s consensus algorithm Ouroboros is peer reviewed, with the original Ouroboros research paper accepted at Crypto 2017, a world leading cryptology conference. Cardano supports smart contracts, and allows ADA holders to vote in governance proposals.
