Proof of Steak — How BeefChain Uses Cardano to Empower Ranchers Written by Elliot Hill of the Cardano Foundation You might have read that reducing our meat consumption is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change and protect the environment in the short-term. However, a less-known but equally important measure is ensuring that the meat we do eat comes from sustainable and responsible sources. In the past, this would have been a fairly simple task, as almost all of the produce we ate was produced, processed, and sold locally.

As a result, censorship throughout online communities has become a hot topic, fiercely debated on both sides by pro-censorship advocates and defendants of free speech and net neutrality alike. As proponents of decentralized technology, the worldwide blockchain community has a uniq...
Greetings from Eva Oberholzer, the Cardano Foundation’s latest Swiss team member

I joined the Cardano Foundation in October 2020, and I was immediately struck by the passion our community and wider Cardano stakeholders had for the protocol. In just a few short months after Shelley, we already had almost a thousand stake pools r...
