$ADA VS $ETHEREUM No one can ignore Cardano $ADA anymore, it getting more attention specially after Shelly released last year, now Goguen is the real challenge. Ethereum and Cardano are two smart contract platforms that have taken a radically different approach to development.   Ethereum went with the Silicon Valley startup approach. Ship an MVP (Minimal Viable Product), get users as soon as possible, improve the product in iterations over time. Cardano has gone with a scholarly approach of steady development and only releasing a product once it’s fully polished and highly functioning. As of now, Ethereum has a significant headstart, which may well prove insurmountable.   However, Ethereum does have a vulnerability: something could go wrong with the code. There could be problems with staking or problems with one of the other future upgrades to Ethereum. If there is a critical vulnerability, it could drive smart contract users to build on another platform like Cardano. It’s too soon to tell whether Ethereum or Cardano will dominate the smart contract game in the future.   Right now, Ethereum is king while Cardano is still in the womb, far from being able to challenge Ethereum dominance in any meaningful way.
