The current price fluctuation in ADA has generated much concern and a state of helplessness among my colleagues at Catalyst and the community at large in the face of the loss of value of their funded proposal budgets.
The purpose of this article is to present from an Efficient Market Theory\* point of view, simple arguments that can provide project managers...
Cardano is a third generation blockchain whose versatility enables the creation of a broad range of solutions, including cryptocurrencies, digital identity, supply chain traceability, DeFi, DApps, and many more. Cardano is built on a foundation of peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methodologies.
This new series explores the compone...
In 2015, it was common to say that it was a pity that there were no decentralized exchanges and sandboxes where people could test new concepts. New protocols are emerging on the Cardano platform that people are using to interact with each other. How to understand this and what direction can it take?
People wanted decentralized services from the start

Ridesharing companies like Uber offer a significant mobility solution for millions of global users.
The market size of ridesharing services is increasing worldwide: in 2021, this was 58 billion USD, to an estimated 185 billion USD in 2026 .
The demand for cost and time effective mobility solutions justifies the massive number of ridesharing users. These fi...
Today, the mobility sector is one of the most prominent, as well as fastest-growing, sectors worldwide, when judged by size and user numbers. Nonetheless, increasing vehicle connectivity constitutes rising privacy and security problems. All vehicles connect to centralized servers by sending sensitive data to manufacturers or mobility service providers’ serve...
Businesses in a range of sectors, including logistics and taxi services, must monitor their vehicle fleet for many reasons. Two key examples include protecting vehicle security and optimizing fuel usage during trips.
As a result, a fleet management platform represents a critical component, allowing greater oversight for such businesses.
These days, all fle...
In recent years, car sharing services have been growing in popularity. Consequently, there is a growing market for such services, meaning the potential for significantly more data. As a result of this, data will need to be managed in a centralized server of the car sharing services.
However, centralized servers are consistently targeted by hackers and data ...
Staking delegation helps keep the blockchain growing – and ada holders are rewarded for participating
Original author: Anthony Quinn
Each month, a few more Cardano stake pools are being created, so far bringing the total number of active pools to more than 3,000. At the start of 2021, there were about 2,000. The ada is staked from 1.2 million wallet addres...
This blog post will offer the essential resources for you to keep in mind while learning Plutus.
The Plutus Pioneer Program’s structure is worth mentioning before beginning with these resources. In this way, this is an online course offered by IOG and led by Dr. Lars Brünjes, the Director of Education at IOG, which aims to educate developers about Plutus — ...
Modern vehicles have become highly connected IoT devices requiring added security and data privacy. But, despite this, there is no blockchain standard for the automobile industry. Currently, all vehicles are connected to centralized servers.
We have chosen Cardano as a platform for building Connected Car DApps. Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platfor...
As i was fascinated by Cardano’s philosophy, i have taken the first step towards understanding the technology. I dived into the journey of exploring the technology and understanding the opportunities and challenges of building on Cardano.

Atala PRISM
Identity is key to accessing a range of private and public services. From opening a bank account to obtaining loans or a driver's license, access to education, etc., the need to prove to others who we are is almost omnipresent in everyday life.
Atala PRISM is IOG’s decentralized identity solution. It enables people to own their personal data ...
Liquid Democracy
One of the key pillars for Cardano's viability is active community engagement and participation. This necessitates an effective governance mechanism. Using an iterative, anti-fragile approach and setting high standards for effective decision making, IOG provides the Cardano community with the mechanisms and human-processes required to help...
The ada token: definition and functionality
Ada (from 19th-century English writer and mathematician Ada Lovelace) is Cardano's native digital currency. It is the sole means to pay for transactions on the Cardano blockchain. Formal ledger rules determine the effects of these ledger transactions, yielding an immutable and independently verifiable record that ...
How does Cardano work?
The Cardano architecture features three layers:
Consensus layer
Ledger layer
Network layer
Consensus layer
This layer performs two fundamental functions:
Running the Ouroboros consensus protocol. This layer takes decisions like adopting blocks, choosing between competing chains (if there are any), and decides when to produce blo...
Cardano is a third generation, open source, proof-of-stake blockchain platform. Its name derives from Gerolamo Cardano, a mid-16th century Italian physician and mathematician. Third generation blockchain platforms are designed to resolve the issues that the first two generations (Bitcoin and Ethereum) suffer from, including scalability and interoperability, ...
Founding and IOG organization
The project to create Cardano was initiated by a group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors, and entrepreneurs concentrated in Asia at the end of 2014. Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood founded Input Output (initially, IOHK) to design and implement Cardano. In addition, the Cardano Foundation was set up to oversee and super...
The IOG team doesn’t care if it’s a bear or bull market and is constantly improving the Cardano protocol. What matters is the long-term vision. This way the team delivers what the community expects. Let’s take a look at what the long-awaited Vasil upgrade brings to Cardano.
Updates are the future
No digital technology can do without a team that fixes bugs ...
A guest blog post by Dr. Weijia Zhang and Temujin Louie
Several months ago, a team from Wanchain reached out to Input Output Global, Inc. (“IOG”) to discuss how to enable interoperability between the Cardano mainnet, Cardano sidechains, and other heterogeneous blockchain networks.
The goal? To build the infrastructure required to enable true RealFi applica...
