Buy Cardano | How to Buy ADA

What is Cardano?

Cardano was created by Dr Charles Hoskinson, who also co-founded Ethereum (the world’s second-biggest crypto). A top 10 cryptocurrency, Cardano was designed to be a more scalable, secure, and efficient alternative to Ethereum and other decentralised application platforms. And it was also the first blockchain platform ever to be built through peer-reviewed research.

Changing the world for the better

The Cardano Foundation’s mission statement reads ‘Our world is changing. Together, we can change it for the better’. As such, the Cardano community is aiming to define a new decentralised future without intermediaries, in which power is returned to the individual.

Efficient and inexpensive

Like Ethereum, Cardano supports smart contracts. But it goes a step further, and is a lot faster and cheaper to use.

Peer-reviewed upgrades

All Cardano code updates are based on peer-reviewed consensus, undertaken by a global team of blockchain experts. This creates a secure and efficient way to improve and evolve the Cardano ecosystem.

Commercial opportunities

Although Cardano was designed to empower the individual, it also has a number of large-scale commercial applications. EMURGO is the for-profit arm of Cardano which develops, supports, and incubates commercial opportunities.
