On CARDANO

Cardano is being developed as a decentralised public blockchain protocol and smart contracts platform that is fully open source. It is a collection of base layer protocols that will enable an ecosystem of decentralised applications to develop, facilitating the peer-to-peer economy, enabling the tokenization of assets and disrupting existing models of trust, identity and collective decision making.
