Polkadot and Cardano have both suffered setbacks in the crypto space, dropping out of the top 10 measured by market cap.
Polkadot is developing Polkadot 2.0, which will introduce a new technical upgrade with core time and elastic scaling.
With the new core time, projects can rent time on the Polkadot infrastructure, using NFTs as crowdfunding. Polkadot aims to become agile with this upgrade.
Cardano had the Chang hard fork, which brought governance to the platform.
Cardano also joined Bitcoin's ecosystem through the BitcoinOS Grail bridge, a link between Bitcoin and DeFi, allowing it to tap into the massive Bitcoin liquidity pool.
Both Polkadot and Cardano are seen as safe bets, but there are many newer projects with potentially bigger returns.
While both projects have good fundamental tech and plans, it seems all a bit too late, and there are too many newer projects out there that promise bigger growth potential.
If one had to choose between the two, Polkadot still has its upgrade to 2.0 coming in early 2025, making it the better choice for some.
