$ADA ADA is the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain platform, named after Ada Lovelace, a 19th-century mathematician recognized as the first computer programmer.
🧠 What is Cardano?
Cardano is a third-generation blockchain platform developed to improve on the limitations of earlier blockchains like Bitcoin (1st gen) and Ethereum (2nd gen). It emphasizes:
✅ Scientific, peer-reviewed research
✅ Layered architecture (separating settlement and computation)
✅ A focus on scalability, interoperability, and sustainability
🚀 Key Features of ADA & Cardano:
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) – Uses the Ouroboros consensus algorithm, which is energy-efficient and secure.
Decentralized Governance – Decisions are made via community voting on proposals (via Project Catalyst).
Smart Contracts – Enables decentralized apps (dApps) and DeFi using its Plutus and Marlowe programming languages.
Interoperability – Designed to work across blockchains and legacy systems.
Sustainability – Treasury system funds ongoing development through a decentralized model.
📈 ADA Use Cases:
Transaction Fees on the Cardano network
Staking – Earn rewards by delegating ADA to validators
Governance Voting – Participate in protocol decisions
dApps & DeFi – Use in decentralized finance apps, lending, stablecoins (like USDM), etc.
📊 ADA by the Numbers (as of mid-2025):
Total Supply: 45 billion ADA (capped)
Circulating Supply: ~35 billion ADA
Market Cap Rank: Top 10–15 typically
Decentralization: Extremely strong—Cardano’s Nakamoto Coefficient is one of the highest
