Cardano Ambassador Addresses FUD Surrounding The Project

Cardano has been in the middle of some major FUDs these past weeks and this has not been good for the value of the digital asset. Numerous negative news circulated around the asset, the most prominent being the delisting of ADA for U.S. users from the eToro crypto exchange. Since then, the altcoin has suffered massive dips that have sent the price of the digital asset towards three-month lows.

Although news of the delisting is a week out, the FUD surrounding the project has not subsided. This has prompted a Cardano ambassador to take action and has led to a run-down of why the FUD around the digital asset has refused to die out.

Cardano Is A Legitimate Alternative To Ethereum

The Cardano ambassador took to Twitter to address all of the FUDs that have been circling the altcoin in recent weeks. For one, they explain that most of it have been because Cardano presented the only legitimate alternative to the leading smart contracts platform, Ethereum. This leans into the fact that Cardano has often been proposed as an “Ethereum killer” after smart contracts capability has debuted on the blockchain.

They pointed to the network activity that showed that Cardano’s activity has consistently been on the rise in the past few weeks. While Ethereum had maintained momentum in the same time period, Cardano had spiked significantly, pointing to increased adoption. Yet, the market continued to treat the digital asset like it is a failing project.

Furthermore, Cardano had recorded such heavy spikes in network activity despite still being a bit away from the first decentralized exchanges launching on the network. Right now, NFTs are the only avenue with which both blockchains compete and Cardano has already recorded more activity.

The ambassador closed out the Twitter thread by saying pointing out that the network has not really been given any benefit of the doubt since it launched. Nevertheless, the project has proved the market wrong and will continue to do so.

We have never been given the benefit of the doubt by the industry.

We were told we could never do PoS and our consensus will never work – we proved them wrong.

Now we are told our ecosystem will not have any worthwhile dapps and we will prove them wrong again.

ADA continues to suffer dips | Source: ADAUSD on TradingView.com ADA Struggles Against FUD

The impact of all the FUD that has been circling the project has shone through in the price of ADA. The digital asset had dipped below $1.5 for the first time in three months and had touched the low $1.4 before recovery back up again. All progress that Cardano had made during this period had been buried underneath the FUD and panic among investors as sell-offs continued.

Despite this, the asset has not lacked support from its community. Taking to Twitter, others expressed their outlook for the future of the cryptocurrency. Choosing to focus instead on the potential of the blockchain instead of the current situation.

$ADA can be more scalable than #ETH. #Cardano uses a fraction of the energy of $BTC & $ETH. Ether’s fees are high & #ADA is a strong competitor. $ADA's scarcity of 45B coins will lead to an increase in value & demand, and will also provide banking services to the Worlds unbanked

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson also took time out to approve of the message being passed. The founder tweeted that others were terrified of Cardano due to being a self-sustaining project that doesn’t need outside help to grow.

And they are terrified because there doesn't need to be some magical Cardano 2 to survive. It's a future proof design and we are systematically building towards it together with the strongest and most engaged community brick by brick https://t.co/JDOKhAwrZA

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival.  Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
