What is a Gas Station Network (GSN)?

Cardano promotes gender equality by advocating for diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for women and gender minorities.

The genesis block is the first in a blockchain, hardcoded with initial transactions and metadata. In Cardano, it marks the blockchain's start.

Cardano implements governance mechanisms on the blockchain through decentralized decision-making processes, voting protocols, and stakeholder engagement strategies. These mechanisms empower users to propose, discuss, and vote on various aspects of the network, including protocol upgrades, funding proposals, and governance parameters. This approach ensures transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, allowing all stakeholders to actively participate in the governance of the ecosystem and shape its future direction.

Cardano supports green technology initiatives by prioritizing energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental responsibility in its blockchain infrastructure and operations.

A gas fee is the fee required to conduct a transaction or execute a contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Gas fees compensate miners for the computational power used to validate and process transactions, and they fluctuate based on network demand.
