In an announcement for Midnight, Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson was explaining how Midnight upgrade will help facilitate NFT transactions without any processing fees. At its core, the upgrade intends to combine privacy and regulatory compliance through sophisticated technology such as zero-knowledge proofs and smart contracts. Midnight has been continuously and...
Can Cardano really leapfrog Ethereum and Solana? Just don’t tell Charles Hoskinson that — the founder of the Cardano blockchain certainly believes it isn’t. His strategy? Foster positive relationships with the XRP and Bitcoin communities. It's an ambitious plan aiming to not just increase Cardano's value, but to potentially reshape...
Let's be real. With it, the NFT space has matured into an equally predictable circus. Same monkeys, same fish, same fanfare, less bang for the buck. You're probably rolling your eyes right now, thinking, "Another blockchain promising to revolutionize NFTs? Yawn." Before you roll your eyes, read on. That’s what...
Charles Hoskinson is betting on the Cardano network to grow massively over the next five years. He thinks it has the potential to be bigger than Ethereum’s TVL combined with Solana’s. According to Hoskinson, this expansion will be fueled by homegrown development of Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP Ledger (XRPL) technologies...
Charles Hoskinson's vision for Cardano's future hinges on a risky bet: integrating with XRP and Bitcoin. This is not innovation, but rather a recipe for disaster. The prospect of Cardano TVL going up by 4x is obviously appealing. Yet beneath an initial look lies a collection of lurking hazards that...
BlockDAG is turning heads in the overall cryptocurrency market with a mature $235 million presale. That kind of success is newly standard, as Cardano, XRP, and Polkadot vie for second place. BlockDAG is thus far out in front, thanks to its creative marketing and extraordinary presale figures. All the while,...
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is a complex, fast-moving, and highly technical space. It never stops looking for creative new ways to bridge together disparate blockchain networks and unlock the incredible potential of multiple cryptocurrencies. Perhaps the most exciting new development on the immediate horizon is the bridging of Bitcoin to the...
The decentralized finance (DeFi) world has been no stranger to the issues of interoperability and security, especially when it comes to cross-chain bridges. These bridges serve as a mechanism to move assets and data between multiple blockchain networks. Far too often they’ve become prime targets for exploits, with billions of...
Ethereum’s supremacy is being challenged by upstart Ethereum competitors Solana and Cardano that are surging in popularity. Note that Ethereum is far from having lost its edge on developer activity and infrastructure. Yet, Solana’s lightning fast capabilities and Cardano’s research-oriented approach are garnering more and more attention and investment. Alternative...
The booming blockchain tech space is competitive and rapidly changing, as various protocols and chains compete for both developers’ and users’ attention. The biggest challengers include Ethereum itself, Solana, and Cardano. Each has its own set of distinctive features, strengths and weaknesses, and therefore the decision on which to use...
