Cardano is the true blockchain 3.0

We know that Bitcoin is a first generation blockchain and Ethereum is a second generation blockchain. What they both have in common is their consensus, Proof of work, and that they cannot scale. They have the advantage of being the first, but that condition will not be sustainable over time.

So much, that Ethereum is in the process of switching to the Proof of Stake consensus. Cardano was born PoS.

Binance has taken advantage of its customer flow and Ethereum’s expensive fees, with its Binance Smart Chain (BSC) it has gone all in on the DeFi competence, basically copying Ethereum’s network with some changes. Binance is nothing revolutionary, it is centralized (a few validators) and whales make up over 80% of the BSC.

Cardano has its true blockchain 3.0 architecture, because its operation runs on two layers, the accounting layer and the computational layer.

Most investors are not aware of this, and others do not give it the importance it deserves, because they do not understand its impact.

These two layers are unique to Cardano, unlike Ethereum and BSC blockchains which use a single layer, leading to bottlenecks and very high gas rates.

The accounting layer is where p2p transactions occur. The computational layer is where smart contracts occur and where computations are performed.

Cardano’s architecture is built for regulatory compliance, which will allow use by governments and banking institutions, but also by individuals, as ZKP (Zero Knowledge Protocol) ensures that data remains encrypted and private, and identity can be enforced without revealing identity data.

Zero Knowledge Protocol (ZKP) is an advanced cryptographic protocol used to create highly secure and anonymous distributed systems. ZKP protocols allow information to be shared and verified without revealing unnecessary data, thus maintaining a very high level of security.

Cardano is decentralized, and has a full governance system built in, it will function as a DAO when Voltaire is fully deployed.

Built from the ground up with academic papers, Plutus smart contracts are based on the Haskell language, one of the most secure in the computing environment.

With the use of metadata, the two-layer architecture, the arrival of Hydra (over 1 million tps), and interoperability with other blockchains with sidechains, Cardano is shaping up to be the most powerful player in the ecosystem.

They are the first generation of blockchains, but with extensions they scale a lot. Please consider, that the btc lightning network or the 2nd layer ethereum solutions are scaling techniques.

Unknown is, which of the scaling solutions are accepted by a major part of the community. Only slowly centralized exchanged adopt towards btc lightning. Even though performance and fees are superb.

That way cardano has an advantage, as it starts at a better point. And has the fundamentals right, to be here in the next decades!

Exactly, with this and that they can do x. Cardano has core build for doing xyz.

The ones who can’t spot the difference are utterly deluded.

Along the way we will see who carries the banner.

cheers

ok, but Lightning Network is a 2nd layer solution, not in mainnet, actually offchain solution. Not user friendly, that’s why exists payments procesors.
