# Cardano

> A public blockchain with staking and on-chain governance

Cardano is a public blockchain for transferring assets and running decentralized applications. Its extended UTXO transaction model lets applications work with specific inputs and outputs, making transaction outcomes and fees easier to check before submission. Ada holders can delegate to a stake pool while retaining access to their funds, and participate in on-chain governance directly or through representatives.

The Cardano website helps people find wallets, explore applications, and understand staking and voting. It also introduces the research and formal methods behind the network, with routes into developer resources for teams building financial services and other blockchain applications.
