Cardano is a public blockchain network centered on smart contracts, utilizing a layered architecture and a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism. It aims to provide a more secure and scalable underlying support for decentralized applications and financial infrastructure. Its consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, enhances network security and energy efficiency through mathematical modeling and formal verification design. ADA, Cardano's native token, serves as both the settlement currency for network transactions and a key tool for staking and governance. Through decentralized stake pools and incentive mechanisms, network participants collectively maintain system operations and security, enabling Cardano to operate continuously without centralized control.
