What is ADA?
ADA is a third-generation, decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain platform designed to be a more efficient alternative to proof-of-work (PoW) networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. ADA cryptocurrency runs on the Cardano blockchain, which is based completely on scientific and mathematical principles. It was designed by experts in the fields of cryptography and engineering.

Mission
Cardano’s mission is to provide a blockchain platform for changemakers, innovators, and visionaries. Their goal is to provide the tools and technologies required to create possibilities for the many, as well as the few, and bring about positive global change. They are committed to establishing a transparent and decentralized platform that is impartial and unbiased. To do this, they are committed to ensuring that robust governance, standards, and ethics exist and are upheld.
Team
Charles Hoskinson, the mathematician and co-founder of Ethereum, began the development of Cardano in 2015 and launched the platform in 2017. Oversight of the advancement of Cardano is decentralized and responsibilities are shared by Cardano's three partners: The Cardano Foundation, IOHK, and EMURGO.

Trading
As the biggest proof-of-stake blockchain, ADA can be traded on the most widely used cryptocurrency trading platforms. The third generation crypto utilizes new developments such as layered architecture to improve scalability, security, and sustainability. This rectifies some of the inefficiencies of previous blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Earn ADA via Staking
Cardano, as a proof-of-stake blockchain, works by having certain “validators” put up a stake of their cryptocurrency to attest to the validity of a block in the blockchain. Through this staking system, validators help secure the network and earn rewards in the process.
Smart Contracts
Cardano offers smart contracts, an automated digital agreement written in code, that tracks, verifies, and executes the binding transactions of a contract between various parties. They are stored on, and distributed across, a decentralised blockchain network, making it transparent and irreversible.
Buying NFTs
Through smart contracts, ADA can be exchanged for ADA-based assets. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) represent ownership of a unique item such as a digital artwork or collectible. ADA’s smart contracts can ensure that the exchange of NFTs for cryptocurrency can occur securely. The system also ensures that creation and ownership is verifiable and each token is minted with a unique identifier. Although not the first crypto to offer NFT trading, ADA typically has far smaller fees than coins like Ethereum.

FAQs
How are Cardano and Etherum Different?
Both platforms are used for similar applications, such as smart contracts, and have goals of building a connected and decentralized system. However, Cardano and Ethereum attempt to achieve these goals through different blockchains.
Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work blockchain has a network of miners that computes complex calculations to keep the blockchain running. As a result, an Ether - Etherum’s cryptocurrency - is worth a certain amount of computing power. Ethereum’s scalability, interoperability, and sustainability are limited by the infrastructure burden of growing costs, energy use, and slow transaction times.
Comparatively, a Proof-of-Stake consensus replaces miners with validators. Proof-Of-Stake mining requires a lot less energy and fewer resources. Cardano only requires a small number of Ada holders to be online and to maintain good network connectivity. This has the added benefit of transactions being validated quickly and cheaply.
