The Cardano Protocol is well prepared for the Future
We usually know well what has happened in the past. We can just assume what is going to happen in the future and still, we can be sure that we will be surprised by the development of events. A decentralized protocol must be designed in a way that it will be possible to respond to all expected or even unexpected events in the future. Read article
What is Cardano Staking
The primary goal of the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network consensus is to enable the decentralized network to come to a mutual agreement among nodes about a single version of the truth. PoS is not only about the network consensus and there are very interesting social and financial aspects of the Cardano protocol. Read article
Let's talk about the realistic market capitalization of Cardano
The market capitalization and price of the native ADA coins are a hot topic of discussion on the internet. People are happy when the price goes up and sad when it goes down. Let's talk about the hot topic and estimate the realistic price of ADA coins. Read article
What have PoW and PoS in common and what is different
Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work (PoW) is the first network consensus that is used to come up to a single valid state of a ledger with nodes that are spread across a globe. As any technology can be improved also the network consensus can be improved in a way that it will be faster, more secure, decentralized, and consume less energy. Cardano's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) will be such a consensus. Let's have a loo Read article
How will Cardano enter the Shelley era
In today's article, we will dive into technical details related to the transition of the Cardano protocol to the Shelley era. You can read about hard forks and hard fork combinator that allows smooth switching between two versions of the protocol. Read article
Cardano can remind the world what adoption of crypto is really about
Cryptocurrency came to the world with a clear vision of building an alternative to the current financial world. We got into a phase in which some people celebrate the entrance of institutional investors and banks instead of trying to use crypto in their daily life. Let's dive into the phenomenon. Read article

Cardano can give crypto a cash-like experience
IOHK donated $500,000 in ADA coins to the University of Wyoming to work on blockchain innovations. A part of the work will be research dedicated to design an ultra-low power crypto-authentication chip. The chip can enable a cash-like experience for cryptocurrency users. As a side effect, it can resolve problems with privacy and scalability. Read article
What is the real use-case of Cardano?
What is the real use-case of the Cardano? This question is often raised in debates on the Internet. Let's try to answer it. You will be probably surprised by the answer. Hopefully, it can help you to understand why it might be difficult to answer. Read article
The incentive mechanism of the public decentralized network is a complex topic. It is necessary to find a balance between the best interest of the network and the interest of stakeholders. Let’s dive into Cardano pledging. 
The adoption of cryptocurrencies will be generally difficult and one of the reasons is that it requires a change of people mindset. Surprisingly, adoption is about trust. Are we able to stop trusting people and start trusting blockchain technology more? 
The economic and incentive model is often overlooked, which is a pity since it is probably the most important part of the public decentralized protocols. Let’s see why is the model so important and how Cardano Ouroboros Proof-of-Stake is designed from the point of view of users. 
A blockchain is essentially a trust machine. It is able to gain people's trust and ensure that some data or information remains unchanged forever. People started talking about the possibility that we can create sound money based on blockchain technology. We know how sound money looks like from the economic point of view but we have not a clear definition of how it should look like from the technol 
The adoption of new technologies is well described and we can observe certain patterns. There are similarities in the adoption of TCP/IP and blockchain. Let's have a look at what blockchain technology can bring us in the future and what we can expect. 
The article describes the transition from the Byron era to the Shelley era. 
If we want to replace traditional financial services, we need an alternative. The concept of decentralization and blockchain technology offers one of the possible alternatives. In today's article, we'll talk about what services banks and financial services offer and how it would be possible to build something similar on the Cardano platform. 
People still hesitate to accept blockchain and use it daily life. In today's article, we look at some of the reasons for the slow adoption of this breakthrough technology. Teams can significantly help with the adoption of their projects. However, there are many different groups that can use blockchain quite differently. We will see more projects side by side in the future. 
As an investor, you should be aware of the main price drivers. Cardano is a platform so there are more drivers than the first generation of crypto projects have. 
There is one bad habit in cryptocurrencies. Everyone supports their chosen project and hounds the others. People's motives are often economic. However, let's take a look at a few facts. 
In the future, most transactions will be processed by second-layers solutions. The first layers might not be able to satisfy high transaction demand. Cardano has the second layer solution and its name is Hydra. 
COVID-19 caused a major market crash. It is always good not to forget to project fundaments and looking to the future. Do not be scared by the short-term market turbulence. 
There are many myths in crypto-world. These myths are often kept alive by people who have an economic interest in supporting them. Let's take a look at one of them.. 
Building a strong community is a very important aspect of every project. There must be a connection between the team and members of the community. Cardano strives to have good relations with us, with the community. 
The adoption of a platform will be quite different from the adoption of the transactional network. A richer set of features allows people to use many new services and better interconnection with the traditional financial system. 
Understanding the past protects us from repeating the same mistakes in the future. This also applies to decentralization. With time, we can see how the decentralization of Bitcoin has evolved. Observation may be surprising for someone. 
Within the Cardano project, there are no random names. All names have some historical background. This also applies to the project's native currency. 
The blockchain technology can be used in many ways. If you think that the only usage is a transactional system then you might be terribly wrong. The ultimate goal of blockchain technology is removal of middleman in financial and social processes. 
If you own any crypto then you should know how to protect your wealth. It can be a challenge if you are not an IT guru. We can help you and teach you the basics of cryptography. 
If you have never heard about Cardano then this article is for you. 
The article describes an event related to Cardano transition to main-net. Still, it is worth to read it as you can learn about hard-fork. 
PoW and PoS have different characteristics regarding the security budget. A PoW network must provide sufficient rewards in every block and it can be a problem in the long term perspective due to the halving. Cardano PoS uses staked coins as protection to the 51% attack and as you will see, it can be very expensive to commit one. 
The public blockchain struggles with adoption. Higher adoption is critically dependent on the ability of the protocol to scale more. Let’s explain exactly what scalability is and look at the differences between PoS and PoW. 
Marketing of a cryptocurrency might seem a bit strange since people expect that they will choose what they want to use. However, every project can take a different strategy since it focuses on a different group of users. 
If we simplify it a bit we could say that crypto lacks only one important thing. It is mass adoption. Without adoption, there will be no crypto revolution. 
One of the most fantastic things on Cardano is the way it is being developed. No other project takes such a complicated and demanding approach. It is done for a reason. The IOHK team is aware of the fact that only the high-quality project can compete with others in the long term. 
If cryptocurrencies succeed than it might disrupt the politics of many states. The reason is quite simple. A state without a currency under control loses power. States do not like losing power so the adoption of cryptocurrencies will be difficult. 
Many people talk about decentralization, but few would be able to say exactly what it is. Decentralization is the most important feature of blockchain. Let's look at the definition of decentralization and the precise meaning.
