Cardano is a smart contracts platform like Ethereum that focuses on security.

Features of Cardano
Cardano is built from Haskell, a programming language which uses a math based approach for a more secure and reliable protocol. It is capable of running decentralised applications, also known as dapps that operate on a blockchain instead of being controlled by any single party. Cardano focuses on three main elements viz, scalability, interoperability and sustainability. Cardano uses a custom proof-of-stake (PoS) algorithm called Ouroboros. In comparison to the the proof-of-work, the proof-of-stake algorithm is better, as it uses less energy and enables faster processing of transactions.
The currency behind Cardano is known as Ada. It is used to receive and send digital funds. A secure and multi-platform wallet called Daedalus is required for Ada cryptocurrency. At present, you can store Ada currency in Daedalus wallet only.
