# LAYER1

Cardano (ADA) be the Best Choice for Long-term Investment? 🚀
​Cardano is more than just a cryptocurrency; it is a powerful Layer-1 protocol. But what exactly sets it apart from the rest?
​Academic Approach: It is the world’s only blockchain built on a foundation of peer-reviewed research and evidence-based methods.
​Voltaire Era: Cardano is currently transitioning into an era of full decentralized governance, giving the power back to the community.
​Hydra Scaling: The 'Hydra' update is actively working to make the network significantly faster and more scalable for global use.
​Thriving Ecosys

Good morning, a mixed picture prevails in crypto market indices today. While #LAYER1 and DIGITAL_ASSET have gained relatively positive momentum, DEFI and #MEMECOIN are more calm with limited increases.
On the other hand, PRIVACY and ORACLE_DATA are under light selling pressure. The prominent development is the increase in the daily trading volume of the LSD index, which exceeded 100%; It shows that interest in liquid staking derivatives (LSD) is increasing.
The AI ​​index, on the other hand, draws attention with its high weekly volatility despite its daily decline.#GateioInto11
