Founders

Charles Hoskinson emerged as the CEO of the Ethereum startup in December 2013 only for him to hit the exit button after the team decided to promote a non-profit architecture for the organization. This spurred Hoskinson to create his version of a programmable blockchain ecosystem called Cardano.

Cardano's scientific approach to blockchain development is a key differentiator. By grounding its development in rigorous research, Cardano is building a platform that is not only secure and scalable but also capable of addressing real-world challenges.
