Cardano in a nutshell

Cardano is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to offer a secure and scalable foundation for building decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. It stands out for its research-based development, which is organized into phases, each improving different parts of the network. The platform's native cryptocurrency is ADA, and it uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Ouroboros.

Cardano is supported directly in the Trezor Suite and Trezor Suite Lite apps.

Frequently asked questions

How do you buy Cardano?

Buying Cardano (ADA) is seamless with a Trezor hardware wallet. Using Trezor Suite, users can navigate to the “Buy & sell” tab and select a compatible exchange powered by Invity.io.

How do you stake Cardano?

You can stake your Cardano directly in Trezor Suite. In your Cardano account, navigate to the Staking tab and hit the Delegate button. Learn more about Staking Cardano on the Trezor Knowledge Base.

How does Cardano staking work?

With the Trezor Suite app, ADA holders can stake either individually or delegate their ADA to a staking pool. Staking pools are formed by groups of ADA holders, who combine their ADA to increase their chance of being chosen to produce new blocks and validate transactions. After delegating, users earn rewards in the form of additional ADA coins. These rewards are usually paid out approximately every 5 days (equivalent to one epoch). Users can unstake and re-delegate to another pool if desired.

How many Cardano (ADA) coins are there?

Cardano will have a maximum supply of 45 billion ADA.

When will Cardano reach maximum supply?

Cardano is designed to gradually reach its maximum total supply of 45 billion ADA through a process called "monetary expansion." There is no specific date for when this maximum supply will be reached, but it is expected to take several decades following the launch of the Cardano project.

Which wallet is best for Cardano?

When it comes to securely storing and managing Cardano (ADA), Trezor is the trusted choice. As one of the leading hardware wallets in the crypto space, Trezor provides exceptional security by keeping access to your ADA offline, protecting it from hacks and malware.

Alternatively, you can buy Cardano directly within the Trezor Suite app. Navigate to the “Buy & sell” tab, enter the amount of fiat currency you wish to spend on ADA, and choose a compatible exchange. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase, and the Cardano will be securely added to your Trezor wallet. Both options ensure that your ADA is stored safely and managed effectively.
