#CardanoDebate 🔵 Is it the perfect blockchain or a soap bubble?
Cardano ($ADA) is a project with one of the most ambitious missions in the crypto world: to build a sustainable, scalable, and secure blockchain system based on a scientific approach.
But some see it as the 'blockchain of the future', while others view it as 'eternal beta testing'.
✅ STRENGTHS:
• Academic approach: based on peer-reviewed research, the project is supported by IOHK (Input Output) under the guidance of Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum.
• Eco-friendly Proof-of-Stake (PoS): the Ouroboros consensus is recognized as one of the safest and most energy-efficient.
• High decentralization: tens of thousands of stake pools, low threshold for participation.
• Long-term roadmap: 5 phases of development — Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho, Voltaire.
• Low fees and high security.
❌ WEAKNESSES:
• Slow development: it took more than 4 years to launch smart contracts (Goguen phase).
• Complexity for developers: the Plutus language on Haskell is powerful but complex and not widely used.
• Weak DeFi ecosystem: according to DeFiLlama, Cardano's TVL is significantly lower than that of Ethereum, Solana, and even Tron.
• Lack of hype: despite the strong technology, mass interest often fades.
