Ce este Poppin '?

At 5:47 PM (ET) yesterday afternoon, Cardano’s latest network update, Alonzo, went live, finally delivering on the promise of bringing smart contracts to the third-largest blockchain by market capitalization.

Cardano is an open source blockchain that was launched in 2017 with hopes of competing with Ethereum to become the hub of decentralized finance. However, until yesterday, Cardano did not offer developers smart contract capability.

Tim Harrison, marketing and communications director at Input Output, the team behind Cardano, descris Alonzo as the “epochal moment in the birth of a new ecosystem.” He added, “The Alonzo upgrade will bring highly anticipated capabilities to Cardano through the integration of Plutus scripts onto the blockchain. These will allow the implementation of smart contracts on Cardano, enabling a host of new use cases for decentralized applications (dapps) for the very first time.”

With Alonzo, DeFi and dapps may be on the way to Cardano, but it does not appear that the ecosystem is quite ready for prime time. Said Harrison, “There are high expectations resting on this upgrade. Some unreasonably so. Cardano watchers may be expecting a sophisticated ecosystem of consumer-ready DApps available immediately after the upgrade. Expectations need to be managed here.”

For example, while smart contracts were still on testnet last week, a Cardano dapp called Minswap shut down shortly after its introduction due to issues with processing multiple transactions at once— a feature integral to DeFi. (According to SundaeSwap Labs, the issue was with Minswap rather than Cardano, but it remains a good example of the kinks that must be worked out.)

Interestingly, it appears that Cardano has an amount of dezvoltare activity that could build out a DeFi ecosystem and streamline the smart contract process. Data from a recent Outlier Ventures report shows that Cardano developers were the busiest of any blockchain — averaging 701 commits per month to GitHub code repositories. For context, Ethereum came in second place, with 447 per month. Furthermore, Cardano ranked second in active monthly developers, with 165 devs helping build out code each month (compared to Ethereum with 168).

At publishing time, Cardano’s native token (ADA) is sitting at $2.59, up from $0.18 from January 1, 2021. With a market cap of $83B Cardano is the third largest cryptocurrency. However, to realize its dream of competing with Ethereum (founder Charles Hoskinson was an Ethereum co-founder), Cardano would have to almost 5X in size.
