BackTwo of the most successful crypto assets are making their long-anticipated debut on our platform
Up next with our “15 Weeks of Summer” campaign are two coins that need little introduction. For beginners and experienced traders alike, ADA and DOT are well-known names that have been shaping the blockchain and crypto space for the better. Since their initial launch, both assets have been hovering near the top of the list in terms of market capitalization, bringing much value to investors and traders who included them in their portfolios.
Both EUR and USD pairs are now available on our exchange! For those who are not yet familiar with ADA and DOT, let us give you an introduction to these top, acclaimed assets.
Week #2 of 15 Weeks of Summer – Introducing ADA & DOT
CARDANO (ADA)
Cardano is a Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain platform, with ADA being its native crypto coin. Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum, started to build Cardano in 2015 and launched it in 2017. It was designed to be a more efficient alternative to the Proof of Work (PoW) solutions that were existing at the time.
It runs on the Ouroboros consensus protocol, which aims to scale efficiently without compromising security and is furthermore peer-reviewed and informed by academic research. Its main applications are identity management and traceability. It is positioned as an alternative to Ethereum.
Every ADA holder has a part in the Cardano network and ADA stored in a wallet can be delegated to a stake pool to earn rewards. The Cardano Foundation, based in Switzerland, oversees and supervises the development of Cardano and its ecosystem.
Just like most projects in the cryptoverse, Cardano aims to drive the change in the decentralization of our digital world. One particular feature of this esteemed blockchain is its double-layered architecture enabling great flexibility for its smart contracts.
New Trading Pairs: ADA/USD and ADA/EUR
POLKADOT (DOT)
Just like Cardano, Polkadot has also been co-founded by an Ethereum co-founder: Gavin Wood. It aims to provide interconnectivity and interoperability between blockchains by facilitating a platform where independent blockchains can exchange messages and transactions in a secure way. That’s why it has been called “The Internet of Blockchain”.
The Swiss organization Web3 Foundation is in charge of the progress of Polkadot, fostering the development of services and applications being built and run on the network.
Polkadot allows data to be transferred across blockchains, serving as a multi-chain application environment. It can facilitate the transfer of data from a private to a public chain. This gives Polkadot great opportunities for upwards scalability.
Polkadot’s main chain, called a relay-chain, is built with its robust Substrate framework. Furthermore, it makes use of parachains, which allows the processing of transactions in parallel, allowing multiple transactions to be processed at the same time.
