Cardano (ADA) Scaling Focus Indicated by Analyst

• Justin Bons, founder and CIO of Cyber Capital, criticizes Cardano's scaling strategy.
• He suggests that Cardano and Avalanche should focus on scaling their Layers-1 instead of relying on second-layer scaling mechanisms like Hydra and sidechains.
• Bons compares Cardano's Input Endorsers to Avalanche's "pre-consensus" approach, noting that both have limited throughput.
• He believes that reaching high transaction throughput would be difficult with these methods.
• Bons mentions Cardano's L2 solution Hydra, which launched on the mainnet in May 2023.
• He also mentions the exploration of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) as a scalability initiative that could replace Hydra in the future.
• In December 2022, Bons expressed the possibility of being wrong about Cardano's progress.

The sentiment of the article is negative towards Cardano's current scaling strategy and suggests alternative approaches.
