One of the main reasons I’m confident about Cardano’s future is Hydra! It’s a scaling approach that fits naturally with the eUTXO model and enables true horizontal scaling of the Cardano mainnet.
Ethereum L2, in practice, create entirely separate networks. Hydra, on the other hand, scales the Cardano mainnet itself, horizontally. Instead of pushing users and liquidity away from L1, it keeps everything anchored to the main network.
because of that, Hydra can directly address some of the biggest downsides of Ethereum L2s, fragmented liquidity, user leakage, and degraded UX. You don’t need to “move” to another chain to get scale.
the potential use cases for Hydra are enormous. It’s not just a scaling tool, it’s a fundamentally different way to think about how a blockchain grows.
