What is Cardano?

Cardano is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Cardano was founded by Charles Hoskinson & Jeremy Wood and launched in 2017.

How does Cardano work?

Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Who governs Cardano?

ADA holders own and govern the protocol. They currently do not take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue).
