🧿Story from Markets: Cardano Jumps on Signals Smart Contracts Coming Next Month The plan to add smart contracts next month could defy skeptics who have bet that the functionality wouldn't come anytime soon. Smart-contract functionality would allow Cardano to incorporate more applications including so-called decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms that allow for automated cryptocurrency lending and trading. The improvement could put the network in a better position to challenge Ethereum, currently the leader among blockchains with smart-contract functionality.
Started by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is a blockchain that aimed to compete with Ethereum and other decentralized application platforms but as an avowedly more scalable, secure and efficient alternative.
When smart contracts are launched, Cardano will be in orbit. For now we are looking at a potential lift-off.
