CARDANO
What is Cardano?
Cardano is a fully open-source decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project built by blockchain engineering firm, Input Output (IOHK). The platform maintains operations for its ADA cryptocurrency, and is multilayered, which gives the system the elasticity to be easily maintained and upgraded with a soft fork. Cardano uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) system, which allows for greater scalability and reduces electricity requirements. Cardano is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and takes a research-first driven approach. Cardano describes itself as a third-generation blockchain platform, aiming to significantly improve shortcomings of the first generation, Bitcoin, and the second generation, Ethereum, including smart contracts. Please see below for Cardano news, Cardano ADA price predictions, and more.

Cardano’s Shelley Mainnet Code Launch at Virtual Summit Could be a Catalyst for ADA Price Rally
Prior to the bearish slump, Cardano’s ADA cryptocurrency has risen around 50% since late May 2020, in light of the news of its Shelley upgrade.

Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Says Layer 2 Scaling Solution Has ‘Basically’ Succeeded
Ethereum has been seeing an upward trend, and demand may increase further in anticipation of the upcoming ETH 2.0 update expected in Q3 2020. Ethereum is scheduled to undergo a major change of its consensus mechanism, transitioning from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS). Ethereum has been expecting its scaling to occur for some time, and according to Ethereum’s creator, Vitalik Buterin, it could already be happening. Vitalik Buterin recently tweeted that the Ethereum blockchain network’s “layer 2 strategy has basically succeeded.”

June 1: Sell in May Postponed to Sell in June?
For the past few weeks, there have been quite a bit of talk/shill/promoting of ETH and I think largely driven by a combination of factors that I've described earlier (i.e. growing daily active addresses, more than 60 bil gas being used, $7bn in stablecoins and Greyscale's ETH demand). Other protocol tokens such as Cardano, Zilliqa and NEO also followed the ETH move, albeit less exaggerated.
