How Cardano works

Cardano uses a proof of stake (PoS) system called the ouroboros system and is one of the first blockchains to be built in the highly secure Haskell programming language. The protocol features a layered blockchain software stack that is flexible, scalable, and is being developed with the most rigorous academic and commercial software standards in the industry. Its decentralised platform allows for complex programmable transfers. Cardano’s multi-layer protocol performs advanced functions and has a settlement layer that is elegantly linked to a control layer. The settlement layer has a unit of account, while the control layer runs smart contracts and will be programmed to recognise identity, and assist compliance.
