$ADA, the native token of the Cardano blockchain, is a scarce digital asset with a fixed maximum supply cap of 45 billion tokens, offering greater long-term scarcity compared to gold. Unlike gold, which can be discovered in new reserves or have its supply increase with technological advancements, ADA's supply is finite.

Additionally, ADA enables its holders to participate in governance. This means holders have a direct role in shaping the future of the Cardano blockchain through on-chain proposals and voting, allowing for a decentralized and community-driven development process.$ADA
