Cardano Network
1 storyCardano Network is a proof-of-stake Layer 1 built around Ouroboros consensus and an extended UTXO ledger. Plutus smart contracts operate within that accounting model, while native assets can be issued directly on the ledger and stake pools participate in block production through delegated ADA. Coverage belongs here for protocol eras and upgrades, node software, stake-pool operation, fees, governance, Hydra scaling, contract execution and network incidents. ADA trading belongs under the asset tag, and individual applications should be tagged separately unless their behavior exposes a change in Cardano's ledger, consensus or infrastructure.
