Frequently Asked Questions
Cardano is used to build decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, identity systems, and more—thanks to its secure proof-of-stake consensus and scientific development model.
Smart contracts on Cardano are created using Plutus, a Haskell-based language. They are built with formal verification, helping ensure logic is correct and secure before being deployed on-chain.
Building a dApp on Cardano involves defining project goals, creating a technical architecture, developing with Cardano tools like Plutus and Marlowe, testing thoroughly, and deploying to the Cardano mainnet.
Cardano offers lower transaction fees, an energy-efficient proof-of-stake protocol (Ouroboros), and smart contract safety through formal methods, which can make it more appealing for secure and scalable projects.
Yes, Cardano supports native tokens, including NFTs, without needing smart contracts. This reduces fees and risks, making it efficient for launching NFT marketplaces on the Cardano blockchain.
