Additionally, Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain that uses Mathematicalprinciples within its consensus mechanism and unique multilayer structure. I know this sounds a bit technical. But think of it this way, Cardano is a very secure blockchain that does not need to be mined with electricity like Bitcoin. It is proof of stake, where a user locks up their tokens to earn more tokens as a reward. This also allows the holders of ADA, the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain, to vote.
