Cardano has jumped 12% in a day and this price rise might be because of the upcoming smart contracts upgrade that would make it a direct competitor of Ethereum

Cardano (ADA) is the world’s first scientific blockchain that is peer-reviewed which makes it a very strong project with good fundamentals. The ADA token took its time to rise slowly but over the past year, it has registered good gains rising by 1167%. Unlike other blockchain networks, it doesn’t simply represent a currency but a full-fledged network with the capacity for scalability and the ability to run smart contracts. Therefore, the news that smart contracts may become a reality soon (by next month) has triggered a strong appreciation in the price of ADA.

The easiest method to buy Cardano is to register on an exchange or broker platform. You will need to submit basic details such as username, phone number and email address in order to register an account. All regulated platforms will also require you to verify and pass the KYC norms before you are allowed to trade. 

It is best to avoid unregulated and decentralised platforms as these are not safe and your assets can be stolen by bad actors.

Cardano is a decentralised Proof of Stake network founded by Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum. The blockchain community soon realised that Proof of Stake networks are better suited for scalability and consume less power. It seems like Cardano figured this out rather quickly and has some advantage over other Proof of Work currencies like Bitcoin. It will also soon support decentralised finance (DeFi) and smart contracts with the ability to allow ERC20 tokens to run on the network.  

Cardano is a long term project with good fundamentals. It has climbed its way into the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap and will continue to grow driven by the DeFi boom and dApps. The Alonzo upgrade will allow it to offer smart contracts making it a full-fledged blockchain network. Many veteran analysts believe that the ADA token will see some appreciation when the full capacity of the Cardano network is utilised.
