Cardano was co-founded by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood as a science-based, open-source, patent-free protocol for storing and managing value, identity, and governance. The platform describes itself as the first blockchain founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. Its consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, is presented as the first peer-reviewed, verifiably secure blockchain protocol. Cardano is affiliated with the Cardano Foundation, Input Output, EMURGO, Intersect, and PRAGMA.
Cardano operates a community-based governance model in which DReps, Stake Pool Operators, and a Constitutional Committee vote on on-chain proposals. In June 2023, the SEC identified ADA among 13 cryptocurrencies alleged to be securities in a lawsuit against Coinbase; that identification was an allegation and has not been adjudicated as a finding of fact.
