Cardano restores trust to global systems – creating, through science, a more secure, transparent, and sustainable foundation for individuals to transact and exchange, systems to govern, and enterprises to grow.
Making the world work better for all
Cardano is a blockchain platform for changemakers, innovators, and visionaries, with the tools and technologies required to create possibility for the many, as well as the few, and bring about positive global change.
I want to...
Our world is changing. Together, we can change it for the better.
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.
With a leading team of engineers, Cardano exists to redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins – to individuals – and be an enabling force for positive change and progress.
A history of impossible, made possible
Benefits
Cardano brings a new standard in technology – open and inclusive – to challenge the old and activate a new age of sustainable, globally-distributed innovation.
Define your possible. Change your world.
Make the change
Discover Cardano
Cardano is the first blockchain platform to be built through peer-reviewed research, to be secure enough to protect the data of billions, scalable enough to accommodate global systems, and robust enough to support foundational change.
We have changed science. We have changed what it means to build global systems and sustainable models of exchange and governance.
We, alongside our community and partners, are defining a new future: a decentralized future without intermediaries, in which power is returned to the individual.
Partners
A decentralized team works across three independent entities to ensure that Cardano stays true to its purpose as we advance and evolve.
