An ISPO is a new way for cryptocurrency projects built on the Cardano blockchain to raise funds. It's kind of like a combination of an ICO and a special kind of cryptocurrency activity called "staking." People who participate in an ISPO can use their existing Cardano tokens to support a new project and earn rewards in the form of the new project's tokens. It's a way for new Cardano projects to get off the ground and for investors to be part of the Cardano ecosystem.
