Rather than being managed by a single entity, blockchains distribute control over the network equally to all participants.<\/li><li>Security. Blockchain networks should have ironclad defenses that prevent malicious entities from taking over.<\/li><li>Scalability. Blockchains should support an enormous number of transactions and users without faltering by increasing fees and transaction times.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-cardano-s-doing-different\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_what_Cardanos_doing_different\"><\/span>Here\u2019s what Cardano\u2019s doing different<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early days of <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/buy-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethereum<\/a>, one of its co-founders, Charles Hoskinson saw the need for a more standardised, and scalable blockchain. With his mathematics background, Hoskinson began thinking about more scientific ways to build a blockchain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, Hoskinson connected with Jeremy Wood, a former co-worker at Ethereum, who was looking to create a better blockchain and smart contracts platform. The two began to pursue Cardano as it exists today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cardano is an open platform that seeks to provide economic identity to the billions who lack it by providing decentralized applications to manage identity, value and governance<\/p>&mdash; Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IOHK_Charles\/status\/1290058248347770880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 2, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The team behind Cardano has been inspired by the world of science publishing, and has adopted its peer-reviewed approach for their cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean?

It improved the network\u2019s decentralization, and meant that holders could stake ADA.<\/li><li>The third stage, Goguen, will add support for smart contracts and native token issuance. It\u2019s due in August 2021.<\/li><li>The final stages are Basho, which focuses on scaling, and Voltaire, which deals with on-chain governance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We have <em>great<\/em> timing.
