Cardano- whose cryptocurrency is denoted by ADA, is an advanced and efficient combination of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin is financial based blockchain, and Ethereum is a smart contract based blockchain technology. Cardano is a step ahead and facilitates both the platforms in a better way. In simple terms, Cardano is a cryptocurrency that is decentralized, blockchain based system, powered by the ADA coin and it runs on the Cardano platform. It is also a smart contract-based system and is used to control Decentralized Apps also known as DApps. However, Cardano is a two-layered system – one layer manages the DA exchange, and the other layer runs the smart contracts. It is also the first peer-to-peer transaction system based on scientifically tested theories.
The main objective of this cryptocurrency to create a sustainable ecosystem using the separated layers to manage the transaction of ADA coin and smart contracts separately. Its primary motive is to provide quick and safe currency exchange and to let the users operate diverse, smart contracts and applications seamlessly. The smart contracts provided by Cardona are more secure when compared to the other cryptocurrencies. Since the platform is layered, it becomes difficult to tamper it once entered. And, once the information is stored, the contract executed or the transaction is performed, the data are stored in the blockchain ledger permanently.
