Charles Hoskinson is a Colorado-based technology entrepreneur and mathematician. He attended Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder to study analytic number theory before moving into cryptography through industry exposure. His professional experience includes founding three cryptocurrency-related start-ups – Invictus Innovations, Ethereum and IOHK – and he has held a variety of posts in both the public and private sectors. He was the founding chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation’s education committee and established the Cryptocurrency Research Group in 2013.
Aggelos Kiayias is the Chair of Cyber Security and Privacy at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include computer security, information security, applied cryptography and cryptography foundations, with particular emphasis on blockchain technology and distributed systems, electronic voting and secure multi-party protocols, and privacy and identity management.
Cardano is a multi-layered blockchain implementation. The Cardano Settlement Layer allows transactions with robust security assurances between participants. Using the Cardano Computation Layer, developers can deploy unstoppable, smart contract-based DApps written in a flexible, Turing-complete programming language.
As well as its layered approach, Cardano attempts to improve on previous blockchains by using the less resource-intensive proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. The mechanism’s potential to generate passive income through staking and DApp usage creates demand for Cardano’s native currency, Ada. When buying pressure is greater than selling pressure, ADA price increases.
You can buy Cardano right here on OKEx, via our user-friendly, secure cryptocurrency exchange platform. Signing up and getting started only takes a couple of minutes, and new users can also avail sign up bonuses.
OKEx offers a couple of options for buying and selling ADA, suitable for all experience levels.
Quick Buy/Sell — Our beginner-friendly option supports a range of widely used payment methods.
OKEx Exchange — The exchange area gives traders and more advanced users an array of order types and tools to finetune their Cardano trading strategy.
OKEx OTC — Our OTC desk is the place for high net worth and institutional traders to buy larger quantities of ADA.
Cardano is an ambitious blockchain project from a team of experts in their fields. Most of the protocol’s workings have been through a rigorous academic peer-review process and this is why development has been relatively slow. However, this is also one of the biggest differences between Cardano and most other blockchain protocols.
Since its 2017 launch, the cryptocurrency ADA has risen into the top 10 digital assets by market capitalization. Its finite supply gives it hard monetary properties, like Bitcoin, and its computation layer allows for the creation of autonomous decentralized applications.
ADA is the currency native to the Cardano blockchain. It transacts on the Cardano Settlement Layer, one of the network’s two layers. Additional Cardano comes into circulation via block rewards, and users staking ADA to validate transactions receive a percentage of these rewards.
Although the process of working out the precise issuance per block is complicated, Cardano block rewards decrease until all 45 billion ADA are in circulation. This finite supply means Cardano price behavior is similar to BTC, only with additional demand created by those wanting to stake and pledge ADA — or implement and use DApps.
Setting up a Cardano staking node yourself will require a reasonable understanding of networking and computers. Yet, to encourage more users to stake Cardano, the protocol itself allows the creation of Staking Pools.
Advanced users can create their own staking nodes, and Cardano holders choose to pledge their ADA to them. The staking node stakes on their behalf, with pool members receiving a share of block rewards. Additional demand created by those buying ADA in order to stake has a positive impact on Cardano price.
