- Cardano (ADA)’s Mithril Protocol is reported to have several benefits including reducing the time required for nodes to sync with the blockchain.
- A YouTuber identified as Ben Armstrong has, in one of his videos, analyzed the possibility of ADA hitting $100.
On July 30, Proof-of-stake (Pos) blockchain Cardano (ADA) announced the mainnet launch of the Mithril Protocol. According to reports, the upgrade would enhance the efficiency of the network by drastically reducing the time it takes for nodes to sync with the blockchain. Over the years, running a full node has become costly and time-consuming due to what it entails.
According to Cardano, the blockchain size is close to reaching 100GB. This challenge would be addressed by the Mithril upgrade with its stake-based signature technology.
Mithril would also enable the current state of the blockchain to be accessed without necessarily retrieving the entire historical data. The upgrade would further empower the network nodes to participate in decentralized decision-making through voting on protocol settings and updates depending on their stake. This would promotes network governance, secure transactions, and democratized governance. Recently, the team completed the Mithril mainnet beta launch which is said to be a technical milestone.
According to crypto analyst and influencer Ben Armstrong, this development is a huge breakthrough for Cardano and could enable an incredible user experience. This also shows the commitment of Cardano to advancing the ecosystem through problem-solving innovations and addressing the challenges faced by users.
Can Cardano (ADA) Hit $100
The operator of the Cardano stake pool BLADE, identified as $conrad, has also shared some benefits of this upgrade.
Multiple pools sign attesting to a specific certificate, that validates a blockchain snapshot. The aggregator that creates the certificate chains and delivers the snapshots to clients. The clients who download, verify and use blockchain snapshots.
The Mithril Protocol is expected to set the price of ADA up for a bullish run. In a YouTube video, Armstrong confidently predicted that the price has a 99.99 percent chance of hitting $100. It is worth noting that the asset would have to surge by 32,000 percent and reach a market cap of $3.5 trillion to hit this feat.
Unfortunately, the price has failed to make any significant surge as its 24-hour growth “sits” around negative 0.55 percent. Interestingly, ADA has a bullish market sentiment and has only surged by 2 percent in the last 30 days to trade at $0.293392. According to Armstrong, development activities on its network declined in the whole of July. In response to this, investors are examining developers’ efforts before investing in the asset.
On his $100 prediction for ADA, Armstrong’s co-hosts strongly objected to this, claiming the current dollar valuation makes it improbable. However, they admitted that this could be possible when hyperinflation becomes a prominent factor.
Armstrong also asked his co-hosts about the percentage of investors who evaluate blockchain development before investing in a token. According to them, only less than 10 percent of the entire investors pay attention to these activities in their decision-making.
Crypto Capital Venture founder Dan Gambardello has predicted that ADA could surge by 2,390 percent in the next bull run to hit $7.8. He believes that the collapsing banks and the financial system could play a critical role in this forecast.
