3 major challenges Cardano will have to overcome in 2022

 


Cardano has had a very difficult time in the crypto market in the past few weeks. The price of the ADA token fell from its all-time high of over $ 3 to currently $ 1.26. The ADA token was hit particularly hard in the market correction compared to other coins. But many key figures show that the network is on the right track. What challenges does Cardano have to overcome in order to get started again in 2022?

Observe the 3 pillars of smart contracts

The 3 big pillars of smart contracts and the corresponding platforms are decentralization, scalability, and security. Cardano is very well positioned in all 3 areas. However, platforms like Solana and Avalanche have made extreme strides in the area of ​​scalability and offer extremely fast transactions.

Thanks to the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, Cardano was able to set itself apart from the market leader Ethereum, which is only going to switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. However, developers need to keep working to ensure efficient yet secure transactions to keep up with networks like Solana and Avalanche.

Optimize scalability

After the first reason, Cardano must not forget to offer optimal scalability for decentralized applications. Again and again, there is criticism that the Cardano Foundation is too academic in its work on the blockchain and has recently been left behind by competitors in terms of competitiveness.

Especially in the area of ​​scalability, the network must not lose touch. Even if the blockchain were to have the best technical level overall, competitors could overtake the network on the market with significantly higher scalability in terms of smart contracts. However, improving scalability is already the next step in the development of the Cardano Foundation.

Establish governance functions

Establishing governance functions is also a development step that Cardano is working on intensively. According to Cardano boss Charles Hoskinson, the platform is working on the formation of governance that will guarantee the participation of hundreds of companies. 

With the governance model, token holders should have the opportunity to determine future developments of the platforms on a democratic basis. The tools used are the 'Cardano Improvement Proposals', which the token holders can vote on.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
