Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain for transactions, applications, and native digital assets. ADA is its principal currency: the network uses it for transaction fees, deposits, and protocol rewards. ADA holders can also delegate their stake to a stake pool, contributing to block production without transferring ownership of their funds, while Cardano’s ledger supports additional native tokens.
