The first few months of 2025 of the Ethereum Ecosystem (ETH) were very Tarsigne-style.
Even the beginning of a new phase of inflation in the main network, starting with its own community critique of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), followed by a distant contradiction between its development and the market for native tokens (ethers). The imminent arrival of his last great updatePectra, probably May 7th.
Now, even in the context of that peak, it seems a bit of an adventure to assert it “Ethereum will not survive for more than 10 or 15 years.”like Charles Hoskinson did recently.
What awaits Cardano?
The statement from the CEO of Cardano (ADA) comes from the question. What does that happen to Ethereum «Do you have Cardano, a low level network in regards to adoption, and use Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, Solana (SUN), BNB chain (BNB), etc.? Then, as it seemed his own CEO was nurturing, how many years does Cardano live in the context?
It is impossible to answer these questions with certainty. It’s wise to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. They rely primarily on technology It made them work. In that field, the drive of any innovation can change equations from one moment to another.
Perhaps the next Altcoins cycle will launch a new Defi application on Cardano that will turn that chain into the heart of digital finance, even if this is very unlikely.
But to answer the approach: “If Ethereum dies in 10 years, how long will Cardano survive?” Along with Cardano’s activities, Ada’s performances past and present They can acknowledge their perspective on what is in the future.
How did the price of Ada, a token native to Cardano, move?
Native cryptocurrencies in the Cardano ecosystem have been performing poorly since their historic biggest (ATH) in November 2021 3.10 dollarsaccording to TrainingView. As of this article, the ADA price is $0.71.
From that moment to the present, ADA prices have been constantly decreasing, except for a few increases, such as November 2024, reaching $1.15.
However, when reviewing ADA’s performance against ETH, Cardano’s token reflects appreciation for Ethereum from June 2024 until the era of this article. Reversing past trends that favor ETH. This can be seen in the following TrainingView graph: This shows the performance of the ETH/ADA pair.
Previous images reveal not only the ADA’s thanks, but also the decline in prices of ether.
What do you say about Cardano’s on-chain metrics?
Next, after checking the ADA price performance, you need to review Cardano activities.
According to Artemis data, Cardano’s total amount (TVL) is almost $320 million, and although the numbers cannot be ignored, Much lower than that of Ethereum (50,000 million)Como Solana, Tron (TRX), SUL (SUL), Avalanche (Avax):
For that part, TVL measures assets deposited on network protocols and is a key metric To rate you Activities, adoption, trustbecause it reflects how much economic value is committed to the network.
The total block value for Ethereum of $500,000 million is 167 times more than Cardano (300 million). As Hesinson predicted, under the rare assumption that if Ethereum had not survived for more than a decade (until 2035), the useful life of the chain is proportional to TVL. After that, Cardano is “lived” for only 22 days. As of April 25, 2025, it emphasizes a limited size.
Cardano Developer Activities
According to the Ochain site, developer activity was 240 active developers and 1,892 Cardanos. commit (Record of changes to the source code that reflects updates to version control systems such as GIT) Solana, Solana, Bitcoin, BNB chain, Polcutand others are less well known as the Cosmos Network Stack, Near and Skale Network.
Cardano records negative growth commit (Last month -23%) and developers (-18%) show a decline in their development. This metric is not critical, but it allows us to see future development possibilities. Developer activity increases commit It is usually correlated with innovation and recruitment.
Low amount of transactions in Cardano
When it comes to daily trading volumes, Cardano records the average Only one transaction per second in the last 7 daysaccording to Cexplorer.
Extending the analysis further within time will bring in the amount of daily transactions within that network The decline since November 22, 2024when it reached 138,000 operations that day. From February 2025 to the present, that metric ranges from 20,000 to 40,000 transactions daily.
Furthermore, there are very few days when Cardano exceeded 100,000 daily work.
Comparison with previously appointed networks returns to Demote Cardano According to Artemis, in this case, in this case, it is far from the perspective of daily trading.
The following graph shows, for example, Solana recorded almost 100 million transactions every day on April 24th, Tron spent 8 million, SUI was nearly 2 million, and the network was developed by Hoskinson. He was running less than 30,000 transactions that day..
Active Cardano Account
In a coincidence with the data from daily transactions, Cardano had almost a peak 260,000 active accounts At the end of November 2024. From there, the measurements have been reduced to the present, offering 35,000.
Again, if we look at its measurements in other ecosystems, Cardano has been widely overcome, as you can see in the following image.
What will happen to the conclusion after reviewing Cardano data?
All of these metrics suggest that many participants in the Cryptocurrency Community responded after Hoskinson’s statement. The person who calls himself “sassal.eth” and the author as an “independent Ethereum educator,” states:
“Cardano has been active for eight years and basically no users, but obviously Ethereum will not survive for more than 10 years. Of course, a friend.”
X users.
Other comments that resonated on the same social networks were comments such as “Who will use Cardano? Answer… absolutely no one” or “I’ve never seen Cardan in my life.”
In short, despite the rebound of ADA for ETH, regarding the use of probability and Hoskinson and the representation of reviewed data, Cardano is closer than Ethereum, which says “disappears” There is no guarantee that over the next decade there will be one or none of these two networks, but there is nothing.
