About Cardano Blockchain

Cardano is a power efficient 3rd generation blockchain built from first principles by worlds leading scientists and engineers; it's ecosystem was bootstraped by three entities listed below, however as we enter Basho and Voltaire eras of The 2020 Roadmap which was a little bit delayed, more and more companies are becoming core contributores, here are some notable ones:

Founding Entities

• Cardano Foundation
• Input Output Global (formely Input Output HK)
• Emurgo

Input Output Global Strategic Partners

• dcSpark
• FiveBinaries
• Vacuumlabs
• Well-Typed

Why is it power-efficient?

Cardano uses series of Ouroboros Proof of Stake consensus protocols in an attempt to build a scientifically sound Proof of Stake consensus, hence Cardano Node can run on a low-power device such as Raspberry Pi, or Turris Omnia Cardano eddition as soon as a 64-bit model of Turris Omnia gets released before the end of this year.
