#CardanoDebate Smart Contracts and Real-World Use Cases

The launch of Alonzo smart contracts in 2021 was a major milestone. Yet, even now, Cardano's dApp ecosystem remains relatively small. Critics argue this undermines ADA’s utility as a smart contract platform. Supporters counter that Cardano is focused on real-world use, particularly in regions like Africa, where it partners with governments and institutions on identity, education, and financial inclusion projects.
