With a leading team of engineers, Cardano exists to redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins &ndash; to individuals &ndash; and be an enabling force for positive change and progress.How does Cardano work?Cardano&rsquo;s native blockchain is divided into two separate layers to fulfill different tasks and improve overall efficiency. They are:Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL): Used to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions of ADA-native tokensCardano Computational Layer (CCL): Used to execute smart contractsThe Cardano blockchain operates using a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for discovering new blocks and adding transaction data to the blockchain, called &ldquo;Ouroboros.&rdquo; This PoS system involves ADA holders locking up, or &ldquo;staking,&rdquo; their coins in pools operated by other participants or becoming operators of stake pools themselves.
