About
Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) is a third-generation blockchain platform focused on creating a secure, scalable, and sustainable ecosystem for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Built using a research-driven approach and peer-reviewed scientific principles, Cardano distinguishes itself with its dual-layer architecture, where the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) handles transactions with ADA, its native cryptocurrency, while the Cardano Computation Layer (CCL) powers smart contracts and dApp functionalities. This separation enhances both security and scalability, allowing ADA to support complex applications without compromising transaction efficiency. Cardano's unique proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, reduces energy consumption compared to proof-of-work blockchains, making ADA an environmentally sustainable choice. The Cardano ecosystem is dynamic, with projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, and governance protocols, and is actively developed by a committed community led by Input Output Global (IOG), Cardano Foundation, and Emurgo.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are the common methods to buy Cardano (ADA) with Indian Rupees (INR)?

    To buy Cardano (ADA) with INR, the most common fiat on-ramp is through a regulated Indian cryptocurrency exchange. These platforms typically support popular local payment methods like UPI and IMPS bank transfers. After completing the mandatory KYC/AML compliance checks, you can deposit INR into your exchange account and place an order for ADA on the INR/ADA order book.
  • What are the benefits of directly trading the INR/ADA pair?

    Trading INR directly for ADA provides a streamlined fiat gateway into the Cardano ecosystem. It eliminates the need for intermediate currency conversions (e.g., INR to USDT then USDT to ADA), which can reduce transaction fees and slippage. This direct access allows users to efficiently acquire ADA for purposes like staking in the Ouroboros PoS protocol or interacting with Plutus smart contracts.
  • How does Cardano's eUTXO model affect my transaction when buying ADA with INR?

    While the INR purchase happens off-chain, the subsequent on-chain withdrawal of your ADA to a personal digital wallet is where Cardano's eUTXO (Extended Unspent Transaction Output) model is significant. This model provides highly predictable transaction fees and deterministic outcomes, meaning you have greater certainty about the cost and success of your withdrawal. This is a core feature of the Cardano blockchain, enhancing security for handling your digital assets.
  • What security measures should I take when converting INR to ADA?

    Always use a reputable, regulated Indian cryptocurrency exchange that enforces strong KYC/AML compliance. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange account. For long-term storage, transfer your ADA from the exchange to a secure personal digital wallet like Daedalus or Yoroi, where you control the private keys. This practice of self-custody minimizes the risk of losing your digital assets to exchange hacks.
  • Can I stake my ADA after buying it through an INR on-ramp?

    Yes, absolutely. Once you have acquired ADA via an INR transaction and moved it to a compatible wallet (like Daedalus or Yoroi), you can participate in network consensus. You can delegate your ADA to a stake pool to help secure the Cardano network through its Ouroboros Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism. In return for delegating, you earn staking rewards, which increases your total ADA holdings.
