I love what IOHK have been doing with Cardano. There are lots of really notable faces[1] and institutions working on this project, and I'm excited to see what they bring to the Haskell and greater mathematics communities.

Here is a good whiteboard summary of Cardano[2], by Charles Hoskinson, who is co-creator of Ethereum as well as Cardano and other associated notable works.

As it happens, he's also the creator or Ethereum Classic, a hard fork of Ethereum, not unlike what Bcash is to Bitcoin (i.e. an attempt at co-opting the brand and capturing value by confusing newcomers).

Apparently he tried to inflate the ETC coin supply by 20% and give the new coins to his company IOHK, which of course didn't sit well with the ETC community:
