What makes Cardano a third-generation blockchain?
Bitcoin and Ethereum are first- and second-generation proof-of-work blockchains. Cardano is known as the third-generation blockchain because it uses greener proof-of-stake technology and aims to resolve other issues with the previous generations. In particular, Cardano aims to ensure higher performance, resolve scalability and interoperability issues, and ensure that the blockchain is self-sustainable.
