Ethereum's biggest contender?

[pankaj1234]

I have been in market since 2017 Ethereum has grow very fast in previous day but in market everytime a new contender comes with new promises. There may you can give some names but for me who can touch the price of Eth is BNB coin. In future time can come when bnb may take over Ethereum because BNB is world best exchange where millions of trader trading so Binance can put any type of idea to boost their coin.For me BNB is biggest contender for Ethereum.

So many smart contract platforms have emerged over time, ramping up the competition for ETH. Some have claimed to be the "Ethereum Killer" (like EOS), only to fail altogether. While none have been compared to ETH in terms of decentralization and reliability, there are some projects which aim to base their development on an academic level. One of those projects is Cardano. With a focus on PoS and decentralization, it could become ETH's biggest contender in the future. Other projects like EOS and TRON may have already adopted PoS, but they're inherently centralized. Which is why, I strongly believe that Cardano could topple ETH in the not-so-distant future.

What are your thoughts? Will Cardano become Ethereum's biggest contender? If not, which smart contract platform do you think it will? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think Cardano would contend with Ethereum because both of them have different blockchains and different purposes of creation. Ethereum has been in the crypto space before Cardano so it has gained more adoption than Cardano,so there was no way it will topple Ethereum

EOS is not much different from TRON and so is Cardano. And Ethereum is itself the most decentralized smart contract platform and it's likely competitor could be a centralized ones as it would be able to solve any shortcoming Ethereum may have due to it's nature. And I firm believe Ethereum would remain a leader on it's category as no newer coin could claim the level of decentralization Ethereum has to offer.

I prefer XRP and BCH
And now I'm focusing on CRO / Crypto.com. I really like the chart movement of this token on 1 week ago

Cardano has been my number one token to battle ethereum. currently, their activities on github has increased. they are currently working on their github profile. always coming up with updates. Cardano tops the chats with online activities on their github platform. the rest has been copying projects. EOS is an epic failure. developers are gradually leaving their platform.

I consider BNB (Binance chain) is the ETH's biggest contender right now. They have previously launched their smart contract into their chain and added some features like staking and they have schedule coin burn too. BNB is decreasing its supply while ETH supply keeps increasing because they didn't set a total supply. So I guess BNB has the potential to beat ETH in the future. In addition to that, CZ is keeping the crypto community better for everyone I guess it gains some trust too. Trust is very important like what bitcoin has.

[MrMojoRising26]

You could build an altcoin as an eth contender that's faster, scales better plus other features, but what most of these projects lack is actual adoption. Eth has the community, developers. Im sure something will come along someday that will be a legit contender, but right now I don't see any ada,tron,eos wont dethrone eth

[Abiky]

IMO Ethereum is so far ahead of all those "ethereum killers" that it's kinda pointless to guess which of them has the highest potential to replace Ethereum, because right now the chance of this happening is close to zero. It's just like asking "which coin will replace Bitcoin".

Ethereum has a huge ecosystem of smart contracts, even though they don't get used much in real world, there's still a lot of developers who experiment with them, I personally lurk in one such community and even participate sometimes.

Why should people throw everything they've built and learned with Ethereum and commit to a platform that is very crude and likely fundamentally flawed? Until "ethereum killers" are overall better than ETH, with no trade-offs, there won't be any flippening.

I know right? But even if Ethereum is ahead of its competitors, it's still un-scalable and not ready for massive adoption in the mainstream world. Of course, decentralization is what matters here. But combining decentralization + scalability, could prove to be a game changer in the crypto/Blockchain space. Cardano aims to achieve exactly that with its academic approach. By having a slow and steady development phase, it could become a battle-tested blockchain network just like Ethereum. Unlike TRON, EOS, or other DPoS blockchains, Cardano will make use of pure PoS in order to minimize the risk of centralization as much as possible.

Still, Cardano would need to gather a large number of developers in order to grow its ecosystem of dApps and tokens. So far, Ethereum is the winner as most dApps and tokens are available on it. It's largely because ETH is the most decentralized smart contract platform in the world today. Businesses and merchants will prefer scalability on top of decentralization, so they'd either choose Cardano or other contenders that are centralized. As long as ETH remains decentralized, it looks very unlikely that another coin will take its place on the market anytime soon. Time will tell us what lies ahead with the future of the smart contracts space. Just my opinion

[robelneo]

I honestly believe that Ethereum is still the best token creation and smart contract platform but I welcome Cardano's challenge on Ethereum for being the number one token creation and smart contract platform, this will make Ethereum not to rest and continue to improve their platform
Ethereum has never been challenged before and with Cardano and other similar platforms coming up, Ethereum will improve his platform even more.

[fuer44]

here I just see xrp which will be the closest competitor to etherum. technically, xrp has pretty good progress and the development of the team is quite optimal. but if you look at the price, xrp is still far behind. but with much longer time, xrp is likely to compete with etherum.

[Republikcoin.com]

we can see the development later. as far as I can see, so many coins have great potential to become competitors from ethereum, even BNB. it's just that these potentials fade with time. Well, right now ADA has quite a potential development to become an ethereum competitor, but it is possible that the development of ETH 2.0 will make the distance even farther away.

[LogitechMouse]

I'm not that updated with Cardano but what I know is that they are implementing this "Shelly" mainnet but still there is no official date of launch of this yet.

As of now, many are still holding ETH as they are upgrading to ETH 2.0 where it will be officially a POS instead of a POW coin. Now with the biggest contender, I don't see anything that will come close to it in terms of DAPPS since it is still the best and many are still using the ETH Network.

In terms of scalability, ETH 2.0 is said to have 100,000 TPS. Cardano as of this moment has 1,000,000 TPS. EOS is around 1000+ TPS. Probably Cardano will be the closest if the Shelly will be implemented and at the same time the ETH 2.0 will be finished.

many coins are good enough but people still go for those bad coin and will call crypto a scam once they have failed to profit  . bnb and other good coins are compared to btc before so why not eth when eth  is lower than btc   .

it's just that these potentials fade with time. Well, right now ADA has quite a potential development to become an ethereum competitor, but it is possible that the development of ETH 2.0 will make the distance even farther away.

yes it can fade if the dev of those coins got lazy because we see how people like to see a coin that is continue developing , that makes them continue investing .  eth 2.0 will make eth more standout and the competition can become more tougher this time  but i think other coins will try to make a good update too to keep the competition going

[niisarearning]

All smart contaract creation platform is competing with ethereum like initially EOS testnet launch and mainnet created lots of buzz . Then Tron by making lots of marketing strategy . Even before NEO was compared to Ethereum killer ( Chinese version of Ethereum) . Now cardano (ADA) . But i am strongly believing in Ethereum 2.0 once the mainnet launched nobdy can stop ethereum price . Every other smart contract creation platforms are good but ethereum will be the best .

[el kaka22]

I would say Tron and Eos both are quite valid opponents, if you are not considering USDT as a currency which I don't, that means the only thing that could pass ethereum right now is either eos or tron, however there is a potential that something new could go there as well.

I have always believed that dash could be higher because it is one of the best passive income coins however they are not allowing people to build a node that easily, which is why it is not loved. If tomorrow dash comes out and says that you can build a masternode a lot cheaper, let's say 1/10th of what it is right now, that could change a lot of stuff and in order to gain passive income people could move to dash as well. All of this however is just a prediction and I do not know which one could go above ethereum at all.

[ije07]

yes, currently there are many projects that are starting to develop their own platforms, especially those that are really real and with real usage including EOS, TRON, BNB, and maybe as you say about CARDANO. of course they will all continue to compete in the cryptoqurrency industry.

What are your thoughts? Will Cardano become Ethereum's biggest contender? If not, which smart contract platform do you think it will? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

cardano is good,
but, in my opinion Binance coin can be the biggest contender of ethereum mate
because for now this BNB already run on its own chain and people can create their token there too

Ethereum is itself the biggest contendor of the project I mean they need to resolve all the outstanding issues like high transaction costs and slow transactions and they need to do it as soon as possible as time is running out. I know they are working on a lot of improvements but they should act swiftly to fulfill the market requirements.

Really tough for others to compete with ethereum. The popularity alone is hard to beat but who knows one of them will find the trick on how to gain popularity among crypto users. I am seeing BNB as their potential biggest contender because the exposure is very good. I somehow agree with coinswebid.

There are several projects that could unseat Ethereum, including Aeternity, Amoveo, Ardor, Ark, BOSCoin, BlockStack, Cardano, Chain, DFINITY, EOS, Genaro, Lisk, NEM, NEO, Qtum, RChain, RSK, Stellar, Stratis, Tezos, Waves, Zilliqa, and others.
