Cardano joins crypto’s creative destruction loop
"Watch out, bitcoin and ether. Cryptocurrency platform Cardano had its ADA token pass the $3 mark for the first time on Sept. 1, just weeks after becoming the world’s third-biggest virtual tender. While its total value at that price of $96 billion is roughly a fifth of that of Ethereum’s currency and a 10th of that of leader bitcoin, according to Coinbase, the No. 3 has doubled in a month.
Cardano differs from its bigger cousins because transactions are verified using “proof of stake,” which rewards ownership, rather than “proof of work,” which rewards effort. The former uses much less energy. Ethereum is switching to proof of stake, but maybe not for a year or two. On the other hand, Cardano is less suited to so-called smart contracts, which automatically execute certain agreed actions, until a revamp later in September. Another difference is that the supply of Cardano’s ADA is limited, like bitcoins but unlike ether’s."
Crypto-believers may just hedge their bets by investing in all of them. But Cardano’s rise shows how the space is evolving –
https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/cardano-joins-cryptos-creative-destruction-loop-2021-09-02/
Thanks lakingsphan. I actually just bought some ADA about a week ago. I'd been watching it for awhile. I agree about ADA having more potential than ETH. That's what it was designed to be.
"Cardano is designed to be a next-gen evolution of the Ethereum idea. It’s intended to be a flexible, sustainable, and scalable platform for running smart contracts, which will allow the development of a wide range of decentralized finance apps, new crypto tokens, games, and more."

Cosmos, "the internet of blockchains"
"Momentum for the top layer-one protocols has been on the rise throughout August as the highly anticipated rollout of the London hard fork on the Ethereum (ETH) network has done little to address the network's high transaction fees and delayed confirmations.
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the quest to find a more welcoming smart contract environment has been Cosmos (ATOM), a project focused on interoperability that has set out to become the “internet of blockchains” thanks to its Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol."

Chainlink has started it's Chainlink’s Off-Chain Reporting 2.0 protocol. This will be used for the computation of smart contracts and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) offchain to support high capacity transactions.
Chainlink has been, and is, adding over 1.5 integrations per day. These additions will grow exponentially as the number of Chainlink active addresses grows linearly.
Now the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is kicking in to connect these exponentially growing active addresses and integrations to each other in the blockchain.
This means all of the growing number of integrations will be connected to a growing number of Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) users across blockchain data collected from all integrations. Chainlink tokens are used to pay for this data.
And it's growing exponentially as you read this.
Bottom line: Chainlink tokens will be needed, growing exponentially, to pay for the collective blockchain cross-chain data.

Blockchains and Oracles: Similarities, Differences, and Synergies
"Blockchains and oracles are both critical network infrastructure to developing decentralized applications (dApps) and use similar security approaches like cryptography, decentralized consensus, and cryptoeconomic incentives. However, they also differ in network architecture, service offerings, node composition, and their overall purpose. These differences are synergistic and combine to form hybrid smart contracts—smart contracts that retain the security assumptions of blockchains while achieving extensive feature richness via oracles."
