Cardano is a decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project that is fully open-source. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach. The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers.
Welcome to Cardano!
Cardano is a highly secure blockchain written in Haskell. It allows formal verification of code, and easy extensibility through a layered architecture. Cardano's technology is built from peer-reviewed research at some of the world's foremost universities.
After more than two years of planning and development, we're delighted to announce that the Cardano blockchain was publicly launched on the 29th September 2017. Cardano's Ada token was then made available for trading on the 1st October at Bittrex exchange.
On this subreddit you can learn more about the project, understand its great potential and engage in the worldwide Cardano community!

Whats your DCA and when do you plan on taking first profits?
I've been looking for bridges that will let me move capital from ETH network to the ADA network and back. I came across UEX.Finance and a few posts on this subreddit saying it was usable and safe from 10+ months ago. Wondering if there are any fresh impressions.
Thanks in advance :)
Should I buy fr an exchange like MEXC or a dex like Minswap. I never used a Dex before tbh.
I read Yoroi is the best wallet to use.
Thanks guys
I'm seeing a lot of interesting projects on Cardano. Which ones/tokens are useful or have great promise to you?
Hey all,
I’m looking to play around with creating a native token.
When building out the token policy script, I’m looking to add a time-lock with the invalidAfter function but I’m unable to find a source in the official Cardano documentation with the invalidAfter keyword. I do see the “after” and “before” keywords however..
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this for me, or point me to the right direction? :)
Thanks all!
I recently bought a Tangem wallet. I tried connecting to Minswap but I kept getting an error message about incompatibility with the blockchain.
I emailed customer support ( the ONLY way Tangem handles customer support) and they finally replied. Here was the answer:
Hello there, Thank you for reaching out.
WalletConnect feature in Tangem Wallet is currently available for Solana and EVM networks, in particular for Arbitrum, Areon, Aurora, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Blast, Canxium, Cronos, Cyber, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum PoW, Fantom Opera, Flare, Kava EVM, Gnosis, Manta Pacific, Mantle, Moonbeam, Moonriver, Optimistic Ethereum, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, PulseChain, RSK, Shibarium, Telos, and zkSync Era.

Side note to the inexperienced…. I went into the Tangem discord channel to try to get some answers and was dm’d by 3 different scammers offering to “help” walk me through the process of getting the wallet to connect. They just needed my seed phrase. Very professional including fake Tangem pop ups and links to the special site to fix my unfixable problem.
Hey Friends!
I created a song for ADA by using AI, and I'm excited to share it with you all!
Links to listen:
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedbacks!
Is there a place to get a list of dreps and a biography or something? I can find a bunch of resources about how to delegate to dreps but can't find a reaource that lists active ones that I can stake to.
My dad bought some Cardano a few years ago and totally forgot about it, he purchased it through Binance.us. The site just seems off for whatever reason, so what is a good place to move it? I know he has a coinbase account and I think it said it would charge him about $30 to transfer it there. Any other user friendly wallets for someone who is not really going to get too deep into this at the moment?
I got like 5k ADA on my Yoroi wallet and i want to swap for USDC but the amounts dont seem right, how can i do it without using Yoroi?
Honestly i want USDC so i can send it to my Phantom wallet but i got no idea how to do anything
If someone can help

Hello Cardano community, I just wanted to share with you all our recently completed C library for Cardano off-chain code, you can take a look at the project at:
https://github.com/Biglup/cardano-c
This was funded by project Catalyst. It is a pure C99 C library with:
Similar to the CSL and CML, but in C. Our overarching mission is to bring first class support for Cardano to other (less supported) languages in the Cardano via bindings. You can find some examples here:
https://github.com/Biglup/cardano-c/blob/main/examples/src/propose_treasury_withdrawal_example.c
and the documentation for the library here:
https://cardano-c.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Additionally, if you like this idea, please consider voting for the following Catalyst proposal, to bring support to the Ledger Hardware wallet Cardano app to the C library to make it available in the bindings as well:
I was very pleased to look at the 1m TpS post here on Reddit reached by the Cardano BC.
So I wondered if there was any official/credible ranking by TpS and searched for it on Google:
https://chainspect.app/dashboard Best is approx 1500txs (is txs the same unit of measurement? Don't know)
https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/8223220991898 Or https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/understanding-tps-which-blockchains-fastest-hashlock-xnojc Best is approx 1000TpS
I don't mind about who is the best, I was puzzled about the difference in order of magnitude of the rankings.
What does it mean 1m TpS versus 1k TpS?
Please, if possible, no fanboy/hater reply.
As the appointed AI and Crypto Czar, it’s no bueno for Cardano, IMO. I know Charles has congratulated him, but I believe it’s only to keep in good graces with Sacks. Sacks is a Solona maxi / shill, proven many times over on The All In.
Im in Canada and I have some Ada in binance, I want to transfer it to another app but it looks like I can only transfer BTC and ETH to my shakepay, what app can I transfer it to?
This meme has me so excited…in fact the whole growing meme scene on cardano does. Just a lot of great laughs all around, from snek to…well all of it. How does Reddit feel?

Hi everyone, was just looking to different pools to stake to and was wondering which pools do you guys use/like?
I have some ADA and would like to stake it. How long is the on-ramp and off-ramp time? Meaning how long it takes once you UNSTAKE it to be able to move the ADA back to the hardware wallet.
Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone.. I have a old yoroi wallet which i opened in 2021 but a Byron wallet, I have tried daedalus, eternl,adalite and adawallet but couldn't find my token. Please how can I get my ada back
