Cardano could compete with the Ethereum network in 2022 as it unveils plans for expansion. Cardano is expected to change Silicon Valley’s perception of cryptocurrency. Cardano’s expansion plans could drive the token’s price higher, increasing its on-chain activity.
Experts believe the Ethereum-killer could rally in 2022
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano network highlighted the rapid growth of the altcoin in a recent YouTube video. This has fueled a bullish narrative for the altcoin’s price. Hoskinson said,
We live in a world where arbitrary groups of people get to be fact-checkers and decide what's legitimate.
The Ethereum network is working towards the key upgrade, or the “merge,” the transition from Proof-of-work to Proof-of-stake. The journey to ETH2.0 is key to investors and holders of the altcoin. Ethereum-killers like Cardano continue to compete with ETH as they offer faster and cheaper transactions on their network.
Experts believe that Cardano has taken Ethereum’s second-generation infrastructure and upgraded it. The improvements make Cardano more efficient and viable for smart contracts.
