Abstract: Cardano is a popular blockchain platform known for its balanced approach to security and decentralization, as well as its use of smart contracts and scientific approach. In our research of the Cardano network, we analyzed its architecture and capabilities, including transactions, metadata, and wallets. Our research aimed to answer the question of the potential applications of the Cardano network in modern information systems. The result of our work is a publicly available API that enables data transfer to the Cardano network, allowing for implementation in other programs. Our research provides valuable insights into the possibilities and mechanisms of using the Cardano blockchain for modern information systems development.
