About Cardano
Cardano (ADA) price today is $0.2187 USD, down 3.21% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $8.21 billion (as of Oct 17, 2026, 22:24 UTC).
Cardano was founded in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum. It distinguishes itself through a rigorous, peer-reviewed approach to development — every major upgrade is based on academic research and formally verified before implementation.
Cardano uses Ouroboros, a provably secure proof-of-stake protocol, and is built in layers to separate settlement from computation. ADA, its native token, is used for transactions, staking, and governance voting within the Cardano ecosystem.
