Cardano Vs. Solana: The Rivalry Continues For Dominance in Web 3.0
  • Cardano and Solana, the duo that pushes blockchain technology forward, says Davis 
  • Solana is ahead of Cardano in practicality; Cardano is slow in development due to peer-reviewed testing.
  • Solana’s major problem is reported as its system-wide power outages.

Lark Davis, a crypto investor and an educator on wealth creation, shared on Twitter that Cardano and Solana are the two L1 blockchains to be examined by investors. Moreover, Davis made this recommendation citing the innovative ways the duo pushed blockchain technology forward.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned tweet, he shared the analysis titled “Cardano Vs. Solana:  The Battle for Blockchain 3.0 Dominance.” This analysis compares Cardano and Solana’s advancements and innovation in blockchain 3.0 on various parameters. Specifically, it compares both Cardano and Solano from conceptual, technical, product, and tokenomic perspectives.

Notably, in the product statistics comparison, Solana overhauls Cardano according to data from the MCAP / TVLformula, which is used to determine the practical use of an ecosystem.

However, according to the analysis mentioned above, Cardano’s development has been slow and purposeful, as the network is subject to extensive peer-reviewed research and testing.

Nonetheless, project developers have extremely ambitious hopes that the network will one day transform the global economy into a more financially inclusive system.

Lastly, the analysis ends with positives and criticism of both technologies.

Cardano’s positive was that it had a loyal fan base, as shown by its high market cap. But its low TVL shows that the chain has been unable to achieve wide-scale practical use.

Solana’s major problem is reported as its system-wide power outages. The system suffered 13 outages in 2022, with the latest occurring on October 1, 2022, when the network went offline for six hours due to a single misconfigured node.

More importantly, this hasn’t been the first time that Cardano and Solana have been compared against each other. On one previous occasion, Cardano NFTs were compared against Solana NFTs for search results. And in another occasion, the duo was compared on the size of the market as to which of them would take away the bigger part from Ethereum.
