Head to Cardano’s website and you’ll see the company is big on change. In fact, it claims to have the “tools and technologies required to create possibility for the many, as well as the few, and bring about positive global change.” The team who developed the ADA coin is made up of academics, which may explain why ADA is named after 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace.
One thing worth noting is that the Cardano Foundation holds stakeholders of all levels accountable. Whereas it seems like a community with plenty of checks and balances, it’s also plausible that the initiative’s executives are in it for themselves. I suppose there’s only one way to find out, though, and that’s by trading ADA on your own.
