What are Cardano and ADA?
Cardano is a public proof-of-stake blockchain. ADA is its cryptocurrency.
When you buy Cardano, you're buying ADA. On the Cardano network, ADA is used to pay transaction fees, take part in governance and pay for services in applications built on the network.
Put simply, Cardano is the network and ADA is the asset.
