Hi , It has been an exciting weekend for Cardano and we are delighted to let you know about the latest IOHK Cardano whiteboard.
These have proved incredibly popular and provide valuable background to Cardano and allow you to learn in more detail, what Cardano is about.
The newest whiteboard is with Prof. Aggelos Kiayias, Chief Scientist. Developing Cardano is no small feat. There is no other project that has ever been built to these parameters, combining peer reviewed cryptographic research with an implementation in highly secure Haskell code. This is not the copy and paste code seen in so many other blockchains.

Instead, Cardano was designed with input from a large global team including leading experts and professors in the fields of computer programming languages, network design and cryptography.

Cardano has made an upgrade to its blockchain through a soft fork, marking another milestone in its development. The soft fork is the first change to the Cardano protocol itself and increases the transaction size from 4 KB to 64 KB, a necessary step to accommodate the growing number of transactions approaching the previous transaction size limit on the Cardano network.

For a soft fork to take place on Cardano, the update must first be voted through by a majority of stakeholders on the network. Once the vote has taken place and majority approval secured, there is a ‘lock-in period’ during which the nodes are upgraded with update, before the protocol change is activated. When most nodes signal that they have updated their software and are ready for the protocol change, the fork is safely activated. This process ensures that there is no possibility of consensus not being reached and the blockchain splitting as a result.

The soft fork is part of a package of updates that includes small fixes and performance improvements. These include a fixing for an issue where Daedalus did not launch when it took a while for the Cardano node to start up. There was another improvement to the issue where the Cardano node might sometimes shut down incorrectly and lead to a delay in Daedalus connecting to the network next time it started.

The full release notes are available online at GitHub.

Even a fool could see the obvious upside in Cardano. This cryptocurrency is not only a better iteration of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s older blockchain technologies, it is also likely to sit well with the governments and regulatory bodies around the world who have so far denounced the very idea of cryptocurrencies.
But that’s not all. The team behind Cardano is taking this cryptocurrency to the next level. They have vowed to bring traditional fiat currency products and services to the Cardano network.
Beginning with ADA debit cards, the team has plans to eventually set up ADA ATMs across Japan. You may ask why Cardano has picked Japan as its launch market before it moves to the rest of the world. That’s because Japan is well-suited for a test run, as the majority of its population is already accustomed to or is investing in cryptocurrencies.
Because of Cardano’s Japanese initiatives, many are beginning to call it the “Ethereum of Japan.”
Cardano’s big bets have already caught the attention of savvy crypto-investors who are beginning to load up on ADA. The ADA-to-USD price has shot up more than 500% in a week, soon after the cryptocurrency became available to trade on major exchanges Bittrex and Binance.

Cardano vs. Ethereum, Bitcoin
The success of any currency, be it fiat or crypto, depends upon the scale of its adoption. The bigger the community using it, the more widespread its use and the more valuable it is.
With that in mind, the team of developers behind Cardano is promoting it as the first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency, which may appeal not only to users and investors, but also to regulators who have largely remained reluctant to legalize cryptocurrencies.
While it’s true that most altcoins are hailed for their privacy feature, complete anonymity can sometimes be counterproductive. Take the example of Monero, which is touted for offering absolute anonymity to its users. But that very feature is garnering bad press as Monero gets popular on the dark web for moving drug or black money. The negativity is beginning to scare traditional investors away.
To ward off similar stereotypes, Cardano is seeking the right mix between privacy and regulation to appeal to the mass investor community.
The Cardano platform is built in layers so that user privacy remains protected. At the same time, it allows for improvement in its technology via “soft forks” (unlike the “hard forks” in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have ended up splitting those platforms).
Cardano uses a unique “proof-of-stake” algorithm which isn’t as capital-intensive as Bitcoin’s “proof-of-work” algorithm. In other words, miners do not require expensive hardware or a lot of power to mine ADA coins, like they do with Bitcoin. That feature makes Cardano a less costly alternative to Bitcoin.

What is Cardano (ADA) Cryptocurrency?
Cardano, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, is a blockchain-based platform for individuals and organizations to conduct financial transactions anonymously and privately without the interference or surveillance of a third party.
These transactions are conducted on the Cardano platform using its cryptocurrency “Ada,” the equivalent of “ether” on Ethereum and bitcoins (with a small “b”) on Bitcoin platforms.

Cardano (ADA) Price Prediction 2018: Why This Cryptocurrency is Rallying
Just as the cryptocurrency markets were taking a breather, an underdog largely unheard of until now leapt to the forefront. Cardano (ADA) is now amongst the top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies in the world, coveniently pushing Monero, NEO and NEM out of the way. But what is Cardano and why is the market abuzz about it?

Here is a cryptocurrencies worth keeping an eye on as we look ahead to 2018.

Cardano
Another fully open-source project, Cardano is a cryptocurrency looking to revolutionize smart contracts. According to the developer website, Cardano "seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed." As of this writing, Cardano tokens sell for under $0.13 each, and the total market cap of the currency is more than $3.2 billion. There are nearly 26 billion tokens in circulation out of a maximum of 45 billion, according to Coin Market Cap.

Cardano Foundation has picked think tank Z/Yen Group’s Distributed Futures practice as a research partner on blockchain applications help the development of the Cardano Protocol and its new cryptocurrency, Ada, recently launched on Bittrex in October 2017.

The Foundation will consult with its community of over 15,000 users on an ongoing basis to inform research priorities. Distributed Futures, a new research practice of Z/Yen, is dedicated to blockchain, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence.

The partnership will launch projects covering proof of concept and pilot testing, and has already released two joint research papers on the application of smart ledgers, one of which the Dutch government has asked to use in its blockchain work. Already commissioned upcoming research includes: “The Economic Impact Of Smart Ledgers On World Trade”, “Geostamping Approaches For Smart Ledgers”, “Cyber Catastrophe Insurance Linked Securities On Smart Ledgers”, and “Simulating Cryptocurrencies, Coins, And Tokens For Regulatory Control”.

Distributed Futures is led by Professor Michael Mainelli, co-founder of Z/Yen, who will now also undertake the role of Cardano Foundation’s Director of Research. “By developing a better understanding of where tools such as smart ledgers could be best applied, we can engage and educate key industry stakeholders such as policy makers, investors and regulators to ensure the industry is advancing in the right direction,” he commented.

“Our work with Z/Yen will involve direct consultation with our extensive community of Cardano users to develop the potential use cases for the Cardano blockchain, as well as a robust cryptocurrency. We have already set out our roadmap for development and are actively working to integrate tools and functionality that increase use cases in the real economy, not least in emerging markets,” comments Michael Parsons Chairman & Executive Director, Cardano Foundation.

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.



Cardano is home to the Ada cryptocurrency, which can be used to send and receive digital funds. This digital cash represents the future of money, making possible fast, direct transfers that are guaranteed to be secure through the use of cryptography.

Cardano is more than just a cryptocurrency, however, it is a technological platform that will be capable of running financial applications currently used every day by individuals, organisations and governments all around the world. The platform is being constructed in layers, which gives the system the flexibility to be more easily maintained and allow for upgrades by way of soft forks. After the settlement layer that will run Ada is complete, a separate computing layer will be built to handle smart contracts, the digital legal agreements that will underpin future commerce and business. Cardano will also run decentralised applications, or dapps, services not controlled by any single party but instead operate on a blockchain.

This is the first blockchain project to be developed from a scientific philosophy, and the only one to be designed and built by a global team of leading academics and engineers. It is essential that the technology is secure, flexible and scalable for use by many millions of users. Consequently, considerable thought and care from some of the leading experts in their fields has been devoted to the project and informed design decisions. The scientific rigour applied to mission-critical systems such as aerospace and banking has been brought to the field of cryptocurrencies, with a high assurance implementation. We believe this is the first time that this has been done.

A major innovation of Cardano is that it will balance the needs of users with those of regulators, and in doing so combine privacy with regulation. The vision for Cardano is that its new style of regulated computing will bring greater financial inclusion by providing open access for all to fair financial services.
