Cardano but in noodles

Cardano, but in noodles. Born in 2017, Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods.

It is named after Gerolamo Cardano (1501–1576), an Italian mathematician, physicist, biologist, physician, chemist, astrologist, philosopher, writer and gambler. Cardano was one of the key figures in the foundation of probability, and the earliest introducer of binomial coefficients and the binomial theorem.
