Crypto Exchange Kraken Calls Cardano and “ICO Warrior” and Praises Its “Design and Values”
Kraken Intelligence, the research arm of crypto exchange Kraken, recently released a comprehensive report on layer one blockchain Cardano (ADA). The 42-page report, titled “Cardano: A new generation in smart contract platform design”, examines Technology, Web3 Ecosystem, and Network Growth & Adoption.
On Cardano, the report said:
“Cardano initially took on notoriety among a class of ICO-craze-driven projects in 2017 following the network’s launch. While the ICO-wave gained infamy from the number of overpriced assets that ultimately disappeared into crypto dust, Cardano finds itself among a subset of ICO Warriors that persisted the treacherous perils of a dark and quiet crypto winter — bloody, beaten, yet hungry for more.“
The report noted Cardano is a value-driven project, emphasizing community governance, academic peer-review, and the importance of high assurance programming. The authors added that Cardano’s values have noticeably directed the project’s developments and design decisions.
As a result, the blockchain "looks like it has been designed with the purpose and standards of providing decentralized, global, financial infrastructure rather than only focusing on providing a Web experience.“ The report added:
“With ambitious goals, Cardano recognizes the necessity for their infrastructure to run correctly the first time it runs. This is in contrast to a ‘launch now, fix as we go’ philosophy employed by many Silicon Valley development teams.”
The authors also mentioned that Cardano saw a massive uptick in adoption starting late 2020 and throughout 2021. The platform "underwent exponential growth in nearly every adoption metric listed, both on-chain and off-chain. There are now nearly 3 million wallets (1348% annual growth) on the network and over a million delegated wallets (870% annual growth).“
Cardano Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
Looking at the Cardano price chart, we can see that ADA has registered a marginal recovery during the ongoing session. If the current sentiment persists, we could see ADA push towards $1.15.
