Cardano Image



This is meant to provide resources for the entire Cardano developer ecosystem. There are a number of disparate resources, so having a centralized location to link to both official and community documentation is helpful.

### Wallets

- [Daedalus](https://daedaluswallet.io/)

  - Daedalus is a full node wallet. This means that unlike light wallets (e.g.Yoroi, Adalite etc.) Daedalus downloads a full copy of the Cardano blockchain and independently validates every transaction in its history. That way you get maximum security and completely trustless operation, without centrally hosted 3rd party servers.

  - Resources:

      - https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus 

- [Yoroi](https://yoroi-wallet.com/)

  - Yoroi is a light wallet for Cardano. It’s simple, fast and secure. Yoroi is an Emurgo product, engineered by IOHK. And it follows best practices for software in the industry including a comprehensive security audit. Daedalus and Yoroi are complements to what they try to achieve. Yoroi looks to be a day to day wallet for a Cardano user.

  - Build methods: Browser Extensions, iOS App, Android App

  - Resources:

    - https://github.com/emurgo/yoroi-ergo-backend

- [Adalite](https://adalite.io/)

  - An open-source client-side interface for direct interaction with the Cardano blockchain.



### Developer Components

- [Cardano GraphQL](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-graphql )

- [Cardano db-sync](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-db-sync )

  - The purpose of Cardano DB Sync is to follow the Cardano chain and take information from the chain and an internally maintained copy of ledger state. Data is then extracted from the chain and inserted into a PostgreSQL database. SQL queries can then be written directly against the database schema or as queries embedded in any language with libraries for interacting with an SQL database.

- [Cardano SMASH](https://docs.cardano.org/projects/smash/en/latest/)

  - The purpose of SMASH is to aggregate common metadata about stakepools that are registered on the Cardano blockchain, including the name of the stakepool, its “ticker” name etc. This metadata can be curated and provided as a service to delegators, stake pool operators, exchanges etc., enabling independent validation and/or disambiguation of stakepool “ticker” names, for example.

    - [Cardano SMASH Docs](https://docs.cardano.org/projects/smash/en/latest/)

- [Cardano RTView](https://docs.cardano.org/en/latest/rt-view/rt-view.html)

  - RTView enables developers, testers, and general users who are running nodes that are connected to the real cluster to see what is going on and how the nodes are performing. It gives visibility on: how much memory and CPU is being used, the state of the blockchain, how many blocks have been forged by a particular node, how many transactions have been processed, and so on.

### Stakepools

- There are two ways an ada holder can earn rewards: by delegating their stake to a stake pool run by someone else, or by running their own stake pool. The amount of stake delegated to a given stake pool is the primary way the Ouroboros protocol chooses who should add the next block to the blockchain, and receive a monetary reward for doing so. The more stake is delegated to a stake pool (up to a certain point), the more likely it is to make the next block – and the rewards that it earns are shared between everyone who delegated their stake to that stake pool.
