ADA serves not only as a digital currency for value storage and efficient, low-cost transactions, but also as a foundational element of the Cardano ecosystem. Beyond basic payments, ADA enables users to execute smart contracts, interact with decentralized applications (DApps), and engage in governance through its proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol. By staking ADA, holders contribute to network security while earning rewards, further enhancing decentralization. This multifunctional utility positions Cardano as a versatile blockchain platform, supporting diverse use cases across finance, enterprise, and decentralized innovation-rivaling other leading smart contract networks in flexibility and scalability.
