What is Cardano?
Cardano is a third-generation, open-source, decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project.

Cardano aims to provide a secure and sustainable platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, with a focus on peer-reviewed research and a layered architecture.
