Cardano (ADA): A scientifically based approach and sustainable blockchain
 
Cardano is a blockchain platform based on a scientific approach and developed by Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum. The platform relies on the innovative Ouroboros mechanism, a proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Cardano stands out for the following reasons:
 

  1. Scientific methodology: the blockchain is based on rigorous research and peer review, making it particularly robust and secure.
  2. Whales and institutional interest: major investors (‘whales’) and institutions are currently considering ADA and accumulating holdings. This indicates a high level of confidence in the long-term relevance and value enhancement of the platform.
  3. Scalability and environmental friendliness: PoS makes Cardano perceived as sustainable, which appeals to institutional investors who are looking for environmentally friendly technologies.
  4. Long-term vision: Cardano aims to provide global financial solutions and promote decentralised applications while maintaining a focus on scalability and interoperability.

 
Solana (SOL): Maximum scalability and innovative technology
 
Solana was founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko and relies on groundbreaking technical innovations to provide fast and cost-effective blockchain infrastructure. At the core of Solana is Proof of History (PoH), a technology that documents the sequence of transactions more efficiently. Key features of Solana are:
 

  1. Proof of History: PoH organises transactions efficiently, enabling Solana to perform at up to 50,000 transactions per second – significantly more than most other blockchains.
  2. Cost efficiency: With average transaction fees of just $0.00025 and block times of less than a second, Solana offers an unbeatable combination of speed and low costs.
  3. Scalability without sharding: Thanks to its architecture, Solana does not need layer-2 solutions or shards, which simplifies integration and development on the network.
  4. Developer-friendly: Programming is possible in common languages such as C, C++ and Rust, making the platform attractive for developers.
