Cardano (ADA) demonstrates a new approach to the development of a cryptocurrency platform, based on the integration of all early achievements and taking into account the problems of previous generations.
Team
The Cardano project was founded by a group of enthusiasts at the end of 2014. Founders: Michael Parsons, who has more than 25 years of experience in the banking industry, and technical issues are handled by Charles Hoskonson, who participated in the creation of Ethereum.
Project
To implement the project, 3 management divisions were created. The Cardano Foundation is the founder and serves as control. IOHK is an international blockchain engineering company. Emurgo is responsible for the development of commercial applications.
Cardano is a blockchain that works as both a smart contract platform and a cryptocurrency. The Cardano protocol provides the opportunity for compatibility and collaboration between platforms such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the Swift financial transfer system. Cardano developers plan to establish data transfer between different cryptocurrency platforms through sychains - “side chains” that will conduct transactions outside the main blockchain. Cardano claims to be the first block built on the high-tech programming language Haskell.
The platform has several layers that are separately responsible for operations with ADA and the functioning of smart contracts. This distribution allows you to profitably combine the advantages of the current leaders (Bitcoin and Ethereum).
Token
Cardano (ADA) tokens are based on Haskell code, and their main purpose is to receive and send digital funds. To use Ada, you need a specially designed digital wallet called Daedalus. The Cardano debit card allows you to use Ada just like any other currency. The Ada token cannot be mined, but can be purchased on the Binance or Bittrex marketplaces. The issue is limited and planned at 45 billion, at the time of publication it is trading at $0.268.
Summary
Ada has the same disadvantages as most cryptocurrencies and depends on the implementation of project plans. In addition, the small volume of transaction processing is completely inconsistent with plans for large-scale application. The final product is promised only by 2020, so demand for ADA changes in stages as new news about support or plans from developers appear.

Sometimes you can see strong growth in altcoins while the price of Bitcoin remains stable over a long period of time. In the case of the Dash price, the current dynamics look very bullish, while no one knows exactly where this growth came from.
