Hello everyone, I’ve just launched a small educational series called 28 Days of Cardano. The idea is simple: For each day in February, I’ll be breaking down one Cardano term, one letter at a time, in a way that’s easy to follow for newcomers while still meaningful for those already in the ecosystem. The goal is to help people better understand the language used across Cardano forums, spaces, and community discussions - without hype or unnecessary complexity. The intro video is live on YouTube, and Day 1 (A = ADA) is already up. If you’re curious, you can watch the intro here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/f/9/f910bea5d1456e80f528dff29d24ed0520bd8bd0.jpeg "28 Days of Cardano | Learning the Cardano Ecosystem One Letter at a Time") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWNWwSAQ9Eg) And Day 1 (ADA) here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/a/8/a898cc2dfed6badf211639bb1dba64f23dd178cb.jpeg "A is for ADA | (Day 1)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKIp9or3Qis) This is very much a community-driven learning effort. Feedback, suggestions, and corrections are all welcome. Thanks for taking the time, and I hope it’s useful to someone here or even out there. ---

I’m genuinely enthusiastic about your idea, one that will truly help bring a clear, logical, and simple understanding of Cardano. ADA itself is already designed to be easy to grasp. This is exactly how Cardano continues to grow and become more accessible and popular among blockchain ecosystems. Keep going, and looking forward contents for next letters. ---

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Making Cardano easy to understand while staying true to its design is exactly the aim. More letters coming soon. Glad to have you along. ---

Thanks so much, sir! We are really looking forward to it. I hope the Blockchain and Cardano glossary is helping you: [Master the Language of Cardano – A New Blockchain Glossary by the Cardano Foundation](https://forum.cardano.org/t/master-the-language-of-cardano-a-new-blockchain-glossary-by-the-cardano-foundation/152561) ---

We’re continuing today with **Day 2 : B is for Block** , where I break down what a block is, how blocks link together, and why this structure keeps the blockchain secure and trustworthy — all in simple, beginner-friendly language. You can watch today’s video here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/5/e/5e34a5df4f2a04a09fdca7b3a1ab9ecb8f810bdd.jpeg "B FOR BLOCK | DAY 2") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGk0hIGlyHs) As always, feedback is welcome, and if there’s a term you think should be explained in a future letter, feel free to suggest it. Thanks for the support and the great conversations so far. ---

Today, we’re diving into **Decentralization** ; what it really means, how blockchains achieve it, and how Cardano keeps power distributed across thousands of stake pools and community governance systems.

Day 6 of **28 Days of Cardano** is now live. Today’s topic is **Fees** ; what they are, why they exist, and how they help keep the Cardano network fair, secure, and spam-free. We also touch on how Cardano’s fee structure is designed to be predictable and transparent, and how part of each fee contributes to the treasury that funds future improvements.

Today’s video focuses on **Governance** ; how Cardano makes decisions without a central authority. We cover on-chain governance, the role of ADA holders, CIPs, Project Catalyst, the Conway era, Intersect MBO, and the Cardano Constitution.

Today, we explore **Haskell** - the functional programming language that powers Cardano’s core protocol. We explain how it contributes to security, reliability, and high-assurance smart contracts, plus why it’s flexible enough for other applications like research, finance, and education. 🎥 Watch here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/a/1/a1ffbbddda0aa06602b3fe3cf1d919bf7f2ca2de.jpeg "H FOR HASKELL | DAY 8") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2YUPj0p5Dg) ---
