$ADA

Cardano (ADA) was created in 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, aiming for a secure, scalable, and sustainable blockchain. It officially launched its mainnet later that year. Its future looks focused on becoming a global financial operating system through continuous upgrades like Alonzo (smart contracts) and Basho (scaling). Its price potential depends on mass adoption, but its scientific approach is a key strength. Current work includes scaling solutions like Hydra and development in Africa. New launches often involve dApps, DeFi protocols, and partner chains on its network.
