Cardano/ADA

---

 Every five days or at the epoc .3% of the reserve is distributed as staking rewards and treasury funding. This will keep going until all tokens have been distributed. Of the distributed tokens every epoch, 80% goes to the stake pools and 20% goes to the treasury. The treasury is used to help fund projects to improve Cardanos development and fund projects being built. 

POS Token 

 Circulating Supply 35,393,534,070 ADA

Total Supply 45,000,000,000 ADA 

Max Supply 45,000,000,000 ADA

 Cardano has low transaction fees while handling 250 transactions per second. In future updates, they plan on increasing the speed of the blockchain. Being a POS blockchain, it is considered a green crypto since it uses very little power to run compared to POW chains. All of the phases are based on peer-reviewed papers and are tested on the test net before being implemented on the main net. Some projects tend to run the "launch now and fix later" method, while Cardano takes its time to build a  product that is sturdy at launch. The price of the token is also lower than several other chains. This is due to the amount of ADA that was minted. The amount was done for a reason: to make it look less intimidating than its competitors. 

Being that Cardano uses a lot of testing and peer review for upgrades, this is also a downfall in the sense that it takes time to release new phases. This is where this blockchain gets the reputation for being slow and boring. The world of crypto is very fast-paced right now, and people want new content now even if it has a few bugs. The number of people who know the coding language Haskell is not as large as  Ethereum or Avalanche. Its main competitor is Ethereum, and they are much larger and farther along. If your staking pool is not active when a block is minted, you will lose out on the rewards. The TPS is lower than other chains
