¿Qué hace diferente a Cardano?
Predictable by design
Extended UTXO model
A Cardano transaction spends specific outputs and creates new ones, so its result and its fee can be checked before it is submitted. One transaction can have many inputs and outputs, paying several recipients or settling several trades together. Fees follow a fixed formula set by protocol parameters, not an auction.
Staking sin ataduras
Staking líquido y sin custodia
Delegating ada to a stake pool never moves it out of your wallet. There is no lock-up period, no minimum amount to delegate, and no slashing: the protocol cannot take your ada as a penalty. Registering your stake key takes a refundable deposit, and you can spend or re-delegate at any time.
Gobernada en la propia cadena
Gobernanza y tesorería on-chain
Protocol changes, treasury spending and even the constitution are proposed and decided on-chain. Ada holders take part by delegating their voting power to a representative or by registering as one themselves. Stake pool operators and a constitutional committee provide checks and balances.
Respaldada por la investigación
Revisión por pares y métodos formales
Los protocolos fundamentales de Cardano se concibieron primero como investigación académica, fueron revisados por la comunidad criptográfica y solo entonces, implementados. El nodo está desarrollado en Haskell y el libro mayor se construye mediante métodos formales, lo que permite verificar matemáticamente el código frente a su especificación.
