What is Cardano?
Cardano is a proof-of-stake layer-1 founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, developed with a research-first, peer-reviewed approach. ADA pays fees and is delegated to stake pools to earn rewards.
What to know before trading ADA
A layer-1 coin trades on the network’s adoption and on the whole market’s risk appetite. Check where it sits against Bitcoin on the heatmap before crediting a move to the coin itself: most altcoin rallies are Bitcoin rallies with extra leverage.
Whatever the coin, the arithmetic is the same: decide the dollar risk first, place the stop where the idea is wrong, and let the stop-loss calculator turn it into a size. If you are new, Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 come before any chart.
