How to buy Cardano
ADA
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain built on the groundbreaking Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol, and developed using the Haskell programming language: a functional programming language that enables Cardano to pursue evidence-based development, for unparalleled security and stability. Founded in 2015 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is well-known for its high transactions-per-second and for its energy efficiency. ADA is the native token of Cardano. You can buy and sell ADA for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade ADA for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade ADA to CAD based on the ADA price.
