Cardano’s Progress On Hydra
Last week the recent development in Cardano’s ecosystem was launched, this was the introduction of the first mainnet compatible hydra.
This development came 14 months after Hydra heads were deployed on the public tenet.
This feat by Cardano is a great progress towards the deployment of Hydra on their Cardano.
The importance of Hydra to Cardano is to improve their scalability as such allowing the creation of sub-chains called “heads”. Heads are designed to handle transactions in parallel.

Can Cardano Overthrown Ethereum?
Ethereum dominance at the moment is because of the high rate of adoption. Despite the Growth witnessed by Cardano, it is still behind Ethereum, this is because Ethereum welcomed a massive 3.79 million smart contracts from January to April 2023, which is far more than what Cardano is adopting.
In the dApp area, Ethereum is well established and mature, even as Cardano is steadily growing it is still lagging behind Ethereum.
Ethereum has a well-established user base and dApps which makes it difficult for Cardano to break through. To pass challenges like this require a wide range of strategic partnership.
Cardano has the potential to become a well-established player in the crypto world, However, this can happen with consistent progress and widespread adoptions.
