• Supporters praise its scientific approach, energy efficiency (via Proof-of-Stake), and scalability.

• Critics argue Cardano is slow to roll out features and lacks widespread adoption.

• Debate around smart contracts: While functional, many say Cardano’s smart contract system (Plutus) is complex and less developer-friendly.
