ADA - Cardano

What is Cardano (ADA)?

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform with a mission to bring positive change into the world and support the journey of all “changemakers, innovators and visionaries”. Founded by Charles Hoskinson, who was also one of the co-founders of the Ethereum network, Cardano has a maximum supply of 45 billion ADA and allows decentralized apps and smart contracts to be developed with modularity. The ADA token ensures that holders can participate in the operation of the network, having the right to vote on any of the proposed changes to the software.

Cardano is one of the biggest blockchains to successfully implement a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, making it one of the most environmentally sustainable blockchain protocols. Learn more

How to Withdraw ADA From Your Coinmetro Account

For all information on how to withdraw ADA from your Coinmetro account, please see the following help center article: How to Withdraw ADA.

Important Note - To request a withdrawal, your account profile needs to be verified as well as having the funds to cover your withdrawal. The first time a withdrawal is made to a destination, the destination needs to be confirmed via e-mail. If you have 2-Factor Authentication enabled for withdrawals, you will be asked to input the code for each withdrawal, approved or not. We suggest enabling 2-Factor Authentication to protect your account.

Withdrawals waiting for approval can be canceled and the withdrawal status can be found by selecting the Wallet on your Coinmetro Dashboard. Please note that already-approved withdrawals cannot be canceled. If there is no Cancel button visible, this unfortunately means the withdrawal can no longer be canceled, and you will find a transaction ID (TXID) instead. This is a link to the relevant transaction hash on a Blockchain Explorer website where the status can be checked further.
