Cardano (ADA) is a platform created in 2015 by one of Ethereum's co-founders, Charles Hoskinson. His intention was to combine the best features and functionality of almost all the various cryptocurrencies in the world, solving problems and offering new solutions.
Many define the Cardano project as the third generation of cryptocurrencies, with BTC being the first and ETH the second.
It has not yet gained much strength in the market despite being among the 15 in the ranking, it still faces difficulty in gearing up in relation to its value, even though it is listed on several renowned exchanges.
