What is Cardano?
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain launched in September 2017, developed with an unusually research-led process in which protocol changes are peer-reviewed before implementation. Its Ouroboros consensus was among the first proof-of-stake designs with formal security proofs.

Cardano key facts
- Maximum supply capped at 45 billion ADA.
- Ouroboros divides time into epochs and slots, with slot leaders elected in proportion to stake.
- Staking does not lock funds — delegated ADA remains spendable.
- Smart contract support arrived with the Alonzo upgrade in September 2021.
How Cardano works
Stake is delegated to pools, and pools are selected to produce blocks in proportion to the stake behind them. Rewards are distributed each epoch, roughly every five days. Development proceeds through named eras, each targeting a specific capability.
What ADA is used for
- Staking with liquidity retained rather than locked
- Smart contracts in a formally specified execution environment
- Identity and provenance projects, several in partnership with public bodies

Cardano FAQ

No. Cardano delegation is non-custodial and there is no lock-up period — delegated ADA stays in your wallet and remains spendable at any time, which is unusual among proof-of-stake networks.
