Cardano hits over 500 staking pools after Shelley mainnet launch

Last Updated on 1 August 2020 by CryptoTips.eu

Since the launch of the new Shelley upgrade of Cardano, more than 500 new ADA staking pools have been created on its blockchain.

No one has their position secured in the crypto world. It doesn’t matter how big your project, company or cryptocurrency is. Within the community there will be dozens of people working to compete with you and try to beat you. 

Ethereum and Tron, the top virtual currencies in the decentralized app sector, now face fierce competition from Cardano.

Cardano’s development

In the past few days, there hasn’t been a cryptocurrency that has generated more news than Cardano’s ADA. 

Well, the project founded by Charles Hoskinson has implemented a new version of its blockchain, Shelley. Which has brought several new features to its operation, including programmed staking and a new wallet with greater technical capabilities.

Shelley arrives just as the other two major cryptocurrencies in the decentralized apps and smart contracts industry, Tron and Ethereum, are in the midst of launching their new versions. 

With which they seek, in the case of ETH, to consolidate their leadership in this sector of the crypto world. While Tron seeks to conquer first place currently in possession of Ethereum.

In recent days, more than 500 Cardano mining pools were created

Since the formal implementation of Shelley within Cardano, the number of mining pools created for staking has exceeded 500. 

This sharp increase in interest from the crypto community in Cardano comes just days after Charles Hoskinson posted a tweet commenting on his prospects for the ADA’s future. 

He also revealed that he hopes that the number of decentralized applications and projects on the Cardano Blockchain will not stop increasing in the coming year.

If the momentum seen in the birth of these new staking pools continues, there is no doubt that Cardano will be able to face Ethereum and Tron in the medium term. 

Presenting itself as a viable option for creating decentralized applications within the crypto world Cardano can thrive in this competitive sector. The Cardano price did not react to this bullish news.
