Cardano FAQ
- What is Cardano?
- Cardano (ADA) is a proof-of-stake blockchain launched in 2017, designed by IOHK with a research-driven approach. Its Ouroboros consensus was peer-reviewed before mainnet, and it has pursued phased upgrades (Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho, Voltaire).
- How does Cardano differ from Ethereum?
- Cardano uses an eUTXO model (extended unspent transaction output) rather than Ethereum's account model. It ships upgrades via hard forks coordinated through Haskell-based Plutus smart contracts. Throughput historically lagged peers, though Hydra L2 rollouts aim to close that.
- Who runs Cardano?
- Three entities: IOHK (protocol development), the Cardano Foundation (stewardship), and Emurgo (commercial adoption). The Voltaire era transitions governance to on-chain voting by ADA holders via a treasury-funded system.
- Can I stake ADA?
- Yes. Delegation is native to the protocol — you keep custody of ADA in your wallet and pick a stake pool to delegate to. Rewards accrue automatically and compound to your spendable balance.
