Cardano Vs. Polkadot: Which is Better?
One smart contract platform to rule them all
Welcome to the smart contract wars.
Ethereum 2.0 (ETH) Vs. Polkadot (DOT) Vs. Cardano (ADA)
Three, count em, three world-changing cryptocurrencies. However, only one can lead the charge on smart contracts.
Who’s your pick?
Ethereum is galaxies away in terms of ecosystem and market cap, but the two “Ethereum killers,” being Polkadot and Cardano are hot on its tail.
On paper, all three projects do the same thing. They want to create programmable money and host a smart contract platform in which developers can easily build decentralized apps on. The specifics of accomplishing that goal are where everyone disagrees.
That’s why I’m here to find out which project has the greatest chance at succeeding between Cardano and Polkadot.
Let’s take a look at these nasty “Ethereum killers.”
Round 1: The founders
The creator of Cardano is Charles Hoskinson. He’s a mathematician, tech entrepreneur, and one of the co-founders of Ethereum. Charles was fired from Ethereum quite early into its development — and quite shamefully if I might add.
