$ADA
Ada (Cardano) is secured through a scientifically designed, multi-layered protocol. Its foundation is Ouroboros, which is a unique proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Unlike energy-intensive proof of work systems, Ouroboros randomly selects stakeholder nodes to validate transactions and create new blocks, making the network highly energy-efficient and decentralized. Security is mathematically proven, akin to cryptographic standards.
The blockchain is further divided into two important layers: the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) which handles Ada's transactions, and the Cardano Computation Layer (CCL) which is for smart contracts and dApps. This separation enhances security by isolating transaction and computational activities. Thanks to a rigorous, peer-reviewed academic development process, this protocol is resilient against attacks. Furthermore, Ada holders who stake their coins help secure the network, as the integrity of the system relies on the honest behavior of the majority of stakeholders.
