The Cardano blockchain is a smart-contract-enabled proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain based on the Ouroboros consensus protocol offering native liquid staking. Cardano is provably secure, energy-efficient, and scalable. Its ledger employs the Extended UTXO model, similar to Bitcoin’s UTxO model, but with enhanced capabilities like **native asset issuance **and **smart contracts execution **while maintaining **robust security and scalability. **
