$ADA
Cardano (ADA) is a platform created in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum, and has a very ambitious project. Its intention is to combine the best features and functionalities of all the more than 2,000 cryptocurrencies existing in the world, solving problems and offering new solutions for digital currencies.
The project is defined as the third generation of cryptocurrencies. In this reasoning, Bitcoin would be the first generation, Ethereum the second, and Cardano the third generation.
One of Cardano's main goals is, using a blockchain, to be a digital currency, just like Bitcoin. The idea is to serve as an alternative means of payment in countries that have difficulty accessing banks. To achieve this, one of its focuses is to improve the speed at which transactions are made.
Moreover, Cardano was the first cryptocurrency based on a scientific methodology. This brings more strength to its code, which is evaluated and reviewed by a large team of researchers, scientists, engineers, and developers
