From its conception, Cardano has been architected as a platform to best balance the perennial trade-offs of security, scalability and decentralization. Therefore we have architected and built a solid and secure network layer, yet with the flexibility to grow and scale to support a global base of millions of users.
With a secure, highly decentralized proof of stake network now…
Architecting DApps on the EUTXO ledger
Taking a closer look at ways of DApp architecture on Cardano

Following up on our recent blog post about Cardano’s performance and ledger optimization roadmap, we prepared a deeper technical dive into the architecture of the EUTXO ledger.
Here, we offer an example architecture and also discuss possible improvements that will boost transaction throughput and minimize delays in transaction processing.
Cardano’s EUTXO model is a solid basis…
