It is an ongoing discussion between supporters of the Cardano project and its critics, centered around the effectiveness and performance of the network compared to other blockchain projects like Ethereum and Solana. Supporters believe that Cardano is a scientific project built on rigorous academic reviews, characterized by sustainability and security, especially with its Proof of Stake mechanism. Critics, however, consider it slow in development and implementation, lacking a sufficiently active decentralized application environment. Cardano focuses on incremental updates, making it more conservative than its competitors, but it lacks market momentum. Nevertheless, the project remains among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, combining academic caution with ambition to solve traditional blockchain problems.
