/r/cardano
Cardano is a decentralised public blockchain and cryptocurrency project and 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!

Snek tokens not showing in Ledger wallet,
Hi all,
Last week I withdrew my SNEK coin from the SNEK staking game and the coins were moved back to my wallet which is synced with Ledger. They are showing in Eternl but not on Ledgerlive. All my other CNTs are showing normally. Does anybody have an idea why I’m not seeing SNEK token?
Account is synced.
Edit: I realise my header is misleading, it’s not my ledger wallet, but the Ledger Live app that’s not showing to token.

Why do Cardano memecoin market caps seem way way wayyy exaggerated
Can someone explain? I’ve seen coins with a supposed 15mil ADA market cap drop 15% because one person sold 30k worth. Yes everyone talks about MC like it’s accurate.

What Can TradeFi on do for SMEs
SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) are the backbone of the global trade industry, and #TradeFi can change a lot for them.
Access to capital - via many avenues such as Peer-to-Peer lending. This will open new doors for many small and medium businesses globally.
Fintech Solutions - These solutions often offer faster, cheaper, and greater flexibility than previous options avaliable for SMEs.
Market Access - TradeFi platforms can connect businesses in emerging markets with global trade networks, providing them with access to new markets and opportunities.
The issues that SMEs face are as old as time itself in the world of trade. Do you think blockchian and technology can help over come these issues for SMEs?

What if you could Self-Custody your crypto and have a Trustless way to recover it or leave it to your loved ones, once you’re gone?
What is your current plan to recover your crypto if you lose your Seedphrase? Or better yet what is your plan to leave your cryptocurrency for your family once the inevitable happens?
The reality is that Crypto recovery is a huge problem, a 200 Billion dollar problem that affects every blockchain, and that Blockchains are working hard to try to solve.
Cardano has the potential to be the first Blockchain to find a trustless and self-custodial solution for this problem with GenWealth, a Crypto Inheritance Dapp that besides allowing you to leave your crypto to your family, also empowers you to create a recovery system in case you lose your seed phrase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnHyczFeemg
You use this Dapp to create vaults that allow you to do everything you can do with your wallet, but that also have a set of added capabilities that allow you to define beneficiaries for your crypto once you’re gone.
Check the progress made in the development of this technology in the short video we shared above.
