Cardano was designed by IOHK’s international team of leading experts, academics and cryptographers during the past two years and was inspired by the best features of existing cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum. Of its many innovations, it is the first blockchain to use a provably secure, proof of [stake algorithm – the only one to have been academically peer reviewed by leading cryptographers through its acceptance to Crypto](https://www.financedigest.com/what-crisis-high-stakes-crypto-lending-looks-here-to-stay.html "What crisis? High-stakes crypto lending looks here to stay") 2017, the world’s top cryptography conference. Cardano is scalable and is designed in separate layers, to easily allow for future software upgrades. The Ada cryptocurrency operates on its own blockchain, while a second layer will [run smart](https://www.financedigest.com/getting-smart-with-the-school-run-how-todays-tech-can-safeguard-our-children-when-travelling-to-school.html "Getting smart with the school run: How today’s tech can safeguard our children when travelling to school") contracts, using a Haskell-inspired scripting language, called Plutus. The roadmap for Cardano incorporates major innovations such as a treasury and governance system to ensure [future development](https://www.financedigest.com/chromoendoscopy-agents-market-2031-report-details-the-future-development-manufacturers-trends-share-size-and-forecast.html "Chromoendoscopy Agents Market 2031 Report Details the Future Development, Manufacturers, Trends, Share, Size and Forecast"), as well as sidechains, trusted hardware and the addition of metadata to allow for more sophisticated financial transactions so Cardano can interact with legacy financial systems. Security has been at the forefront of design and rigorous academic and commercial best practices have been adhered to, such as peer review and formal methods used in the [production of high assurance software for mission-critical systems](https://www.financedigest.com/sales-growth-of-automotive-clear-vision-systems-market-is-driven-by-production-of-new-vehicle.html "Sales Growth Of Automotive Clear Vision Systems Market Is Driven By Production Of New Vehicle"). From September 29th, Bittrex began accepting deposits of Ada, and from October 2nd, the almost 10,000 holders of Ada will be able to trade their tokens on one of the largest international exchanges. Cardano is the first such cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem built for the [Asian market](https://www.financedigest.com/the-asian-breast-implants-market-is-likely-to-scintillate-going-forward.html "The Asian Breast Implants Market is likely to scintillate going forward") and Ada vouchers were distributed exclusively in Asia between September 2015 and January 2017. The sale event raised over $60m USD and was the first to follow compliance guidelines. US-regulated Bittrex enables individuals and businesses to buy and [sell next-generation cryptocurrencies and digital](https://www.financedigest.com/digitally-projected-revenue-to-be-the-unique-selling-point-of-surgical-chisels-market.html "Digitally projected revenue to be the unique selling point of Surgical Chisels Market") tokens. The exchanges offers fast trade execution, stable wallets and sophisticated security practices – strict compliance audits are carried on all new coin launches, ensuring that users can make informed trading decisions. Cardano was founded by a group of cryptocurrency experts, [investors and entrepreneurs](https://www.financedigest.com/entrepreneur-investor-dale-w-wood-shares-how-he-is-using-his-funds-to-create-change.html "Entrepreneur & Investor Dale W Wood Shares How He Is Using His Funds to Create Change") in 2014. [Input Output HK](https://iohk.io/) (IOHK), a world-class engineering and research company, was engaged to design and build the technology. IOHK is creating Cardano using the Haskell functional programming language, which is uniquely suited to underpinning a financial system thanks to its security advantages. [Cardano Foundation](https://cardanofoundation.org/) is a Swiss non-profit and guardian of the Cardano ecosystem and community. It aims to proactively [work with governments](https://www.financedigest.com/uk-minister-says-government-will-work-with-obr-on-economic-forecasts.html "UK minister says government will work with OBR on economic forecasts") and regulatory bodies, as well as forming strategic partnerships with enterprises and other open-source projects to further global adoption of the technology. The final partner, [Emurgo](http://emurgo.io/), will develop, support, and incubate commercial ventures that wish to build applications on Cardano. The [project is unique](https://www.financedigest.com/digitally-projected-revenue-to-be-the-unique-selling-point-of-aerosol-therapy-market.html "Digitally projected revenue to be the unique selling point of Aerosol Therapy Market") in addressing the need for regulatory oversight whilst maintaining consumer privacy and protections.

Extensive resources about the project are available on the Cardano Hub [website](http://www.cardanohub.com/) and at Whycardano.com Bittrex is the first [exchange to list the Ada cryptocurrency](https://www.financedigest.com/verasity-vra-lists-on-tier-1-cryptocurrency-exchange-crypto-com.html "Verasity $VRA Lists on Tier-1 Cryptocurrency Exchange Crypto.com"), and will be followed by listings on other exchanges, including Bitt and Cryptopia. Additional exchanges, both [international and regional will be announced in the coming months](https://www.financedigest.com/efg-international-says-profitability-improved-in-first-nine-months.html "EFG International says profitability improved in first nine months"). Michael Parsons, Chairman, Cardano Foundation, said: “The listing on Bittrex is an exciting stage in the [development of the Cardano protocol and is another step towards realising a new world of decentralised applications](https://www.financedigest.com/turbo-compounding-systems-market-development-status-competition-analysis-type-and-application-2026.html "Turbo Compounding Systems Market Development Status, Competition Analysis, Type and Application 2026"). “Cardano has the potential to democratise finance, particularly in [emerging markets](https://www.financedigest.com/analysis-after-sanctions-barrage-russias-emerging-market-allies-explore-workarounds.html "Analysis-After sanctions barrage, Russia’s emerging market allies explore workarounds").

It incorporates our groundbreaking proof-of-stake algorithm, Ouroboros, and the [technology is highly innovative](https://www.financedigest.com/u-s-lighting-products-market-recent-strategies-trends-technology-innovation-analysis-application-by-tmr.html "U.S. Lighting Products Market: Recent Strategies, Trends, Technology Innovation, Analysis Application by TMR") in the area of blockchain.

The OuroborosPraos protocol that was developed as the basis for Cardano uses a provably secure method for the proof-of-stake protocol.” --- This blog is powered by Superblog.
