Base networks · My holdings

ADA — Cardano

A network for apps that is built particularly slowly and carefully; the coin pays fees and secures the network.

What it is for

Set out to: a proof-of-stake chain built from peer-reviewed research.
Today in addition: Smart contracts, native tokens, on-chain governance with its own treasury.
Notable: an extended UTXO model in which the success and the fee of a transaction are known before sending.
Strength: predictable validation and fees.
Weakness: slow delivery, smaller range of applications.

Contract address

Cardano-Mainnet — its own chain, no contract.

The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

Where the price stands today between its two endpoints — logarithmic, because orders of magnitude lie in between.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

If the high of a window comes before the low, the rise is calculated from the low to the next interim high within the same window.

Finding

Gas required, fees over the year minus 71%

Investors and partners: $62.3 million from the initial sale in 2015 to 2017. Hardly any institutional names disclosed — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.

Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.

No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
