Cardano is also called the "Ethereum killer". Like Ethereum, it uses a blockchain model together with smart contracts and uses tokens. But where Ethereum is a second generation blockchain, Cardano is known as a third generation blockchain and has been able to look at Ethereum and then make improvements. These are the five reasons for whether or not to go for Cardano.

Rigorous code test

Separated smart contracts

Proof-of-stake model

At Cardano, the proof-of-stake model will be used, instead of Bitcoin's proof-of-work system. This means, among other things, that there is no mining and no gigantic amounts of energy are consumed. Rewards are not paid depending on how much computing power you have contributed, but depending on how many tokens you have. The proof-of-stake model of Cardano would also be extra safe. It would be the only proof-of-stake protocol with mathematically proven safety. Like the other protocols, the peer review of the code also takes place here again. Among others, the University of Edinburgh, University of Connecticut and the Tokyo Institute of Technology would have contributed to the development of the code.

Democratic voting system

Cardano features have yet to come

Another drawback to Cardano (for the moment) is that not so many features are available yet. There are many plans for future features, but all of these have yet to be implemented. In the second quarter of 2018 a big new release is planned, with many new features to come. Among other things, the proof-of-stake protocol, the voting system and a wallet update should be part of the game.
