Cardano (ADA)

Cardano is an open-source, Proof-of-Stake blockchain built on the Ouroboros consensus protocol. Smart contract functionality is one of its core components. Cardano is developed using Haskell, which is a functional programming language that enables Cardano to pursue evidence-based development. The modular design of Cardano can allow for features such as network delegation and light client data structures, the latter being historically challenging to implement for Proof-of-Stake networks.
