    Cardano is a layer 1 blockchain, which means it operates at the base layer of the blockchain protocol. This allows for direct interaction with the blockchain and ensures security and decentralization. As a layer 1 blockchain, Cardano can handle complex smart contracts and support various decentralized applications (dApps).
