Bitcoin (BTC) is going up again, but it\u2019s not the only one. Cardano (ADA) managed to snatch third place by market capitalization from Binance Coin (BNB), with over 80 million. Of course, a new All-Time-High (ATH) comes along too: $2.58 per coin the last August 20. Like Cardano, Solana (SOL) and Terra (LUNA) reached new ATHs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three blockchain networks<\/a> are popularly known as \u201cEthereum killers\u201d since all of them offer functionalities that also can be found on Ethereum (ETH). Cardano is the oldest one, though. It was founded back in 2017, but its development has been very meticulous and with a slow scientific focus. So, it has not been until 2021 that more notorious results have been shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Nigel Hemsley<\/a>, Cardano’s Head of Delivery, we\u2019ll have the full integration of the update Alonzo<\/a> on the mainnet by September 12.<\/strong> This smart contract feature will let the users access new Decentralized Apps (Dapps) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi<\/a>) functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Along with previous updates<\/a>, it\u2019s been established that the users won\u2019t even need to pay any fees to the network for smart contracts. This makes Cardano look like a cheaper option than Ethereum<\/a>. However, is still far from surpassing Ethereum, which has a market cap of over $378 billion and it\u2019s already trusted by millions of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Solana is specialized in DeFi solutions, while Terra offers the creation of stablecoins<\/a>. The first one reached a price of around $80 per coin on August 18<\/strong>, with a market cap of over $22 billion. The second one got a record of over $33 per coin, and a market cap of $12.3 billion on August 19 [CoinMarketCap].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Cardano, Solana and Terra go up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Solana has been very popular lately. The total value locked<\/a> in DeFi projects on this network surpasses $2.5 billion. But this blockchain is specially used in the Non-Fungible Token (NFT<\/a>) market. Last June, they launched the decentralized MetaPlex Marketplace, dubbed<\/a> a \u201cShopify\u201d for NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This same month, the NFT project Degenerate Ape Academy premiered<\/a> on this platform. Minutes later, the entire collection of 10,000 unique pictures of cartoon apes (much like Cryptopunks) was sold out, and the SOL price climbed to new heights. So far in August 2021, Solana has increased by over 207%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
