The Best Ethereum Killer Investors Should Watch in 2022

 


Brief overview

Scalability is a significant issue for Ethereum. As the demand for ecosystem usage increased, the inherent Proof-of-Work mechanism became inefficient, and it can now only handle 13 transactions per second.




A few cryptocurrencies are already following Ethereum in terms of scalability, transaction fees, and other pertinent variables, in the hopes of catching up to this second-largest participant. Is it, however, feasible to kill or outrun something as huge as Ethreum?


We'll go over four of the most well-known ETH killers, as well as why they're known as that. Some of the most well-known ETH killers are Cardano, Solana, EOS, and Polkadot. So let's examine these Ethereum challengers one-on-one but before that let's get the basics out of the way.

 

What exactly are Ethereum rebels?




The concept of 'Ethereum Killer' for a crypto player is about evolving as a blockchain that can overcome the weaknesses of the first mover. In other words, people who can solve the challenges will have a chance to take over Ethereum in the long run.


Cardano, EOS, Solana, BNB, and Polkadot are the key players at the moment.


Let's take a look at why they're known as the 'Ethereum Killer.'


But first, let's take a look at Ethereum's flaws to see why investors are seeking for alternative blockchains.


Ethereum's scalability is a serious concern. As the demand for ecosystem usage expanded, the intrinsic Proof-of-Work mechanism became outdated, and it can currently only handle 13 transactions per second. Slow transaction speeds invariably result in increased transaction or gas costs, which are required to use the large ecosystem's computational resources.

Aside from adaptability issues, the Ethereum blockchain likewise has an absence of supportability, which can be connected to the recently referenced energy utilization. Moreover, there is an interoperability issue that forestalls other blockchain members from associating with the Ethereum biological system without earlier course of action.

The IRS will not tax unsold cryptocurrency tokens, which is a huge relief for cryptocurrency traders and miners.

 Crypto staking and mining enthusiasts can finally exhale a sigh of relief, as the IRS has decided not to tax unrealized gains from crypto staking or mining digital assets. This is a huge relief because many crypto supporters have been speaking out against these proposed taxes over the last few months. Blockworks' Casey Wagner was the first to report on this storey. She claims that a Nashville couple will receive a tax refund for unsold Tezos tokens staked on the blockchain network. This clarifies how cryptocurrencies that have been staked are taxed. According to people familiar with the situation, the IRS has offered the couple a refund for earned but unredeemed rewards. According to a legal complaint filed on May 26, 2021, Joshua and Jessica Jerrett requested a refund of $3,293 in income tax paid in 2019 for the receipt of 8,876 Tezos tokens in May 2021 with the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. In addition, the couple requested a $500 increase in tax credit...

DogeCoin (DOGE) Overtakes Terra (Luna) As The World's 10th Largest Cryptocurrency

In terms of market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE) has surpassed Terra (LUNA) to become the tenth largest cryptocurrency. The switch follows the accompanying drama in the Terra ecosystem, which has seen the price of the LUNA tank plummet in recent days. LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent in the previous week and is now trading at more than 50% below its all-time high set in December. The battle for supremacy between DOGE and LUNA continues to heat up. According to CryptoRank, Dogecoin has surpassed Terra (LUNA) in market capitalization once again. DOGE has a market cap of roughly $18.22 billion, while LUNA has a market worth of around $18.20 billion. Market participants, on the other hand, are pointing out that the switch was caused by a panic selloff in the LUNA market, not by a boom in DOGE. In the last seven days, the price of DOGE has increased by 1.04 percent. In the same time period, however, LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent. According to Krypto Tribe tracker Santiment, the depletion h...

Solana (SOL) Price Prediction: Will the Price of Solana (SOL) Break $120 Next?

  On Saturday, the price of Solana (SOL) appears to be exhausted near the higher levels. As accumulation increases near the demand zone, buyers stayed committed to the coin for about $88.0. The price pushed near $115.0 due to the unwavering strong sentiment. After testing two-week highs, the price of Solana (SOL) halted. If SOL breaks through $120 in the near term, expect more gains. At $145.0, the price is still trading below the 200 DMA. The price of SOL is still under pressure around two-week highs. On the daily chart, the formation of "Doji" candlesticks on Thursday following the bulls' rejection near the higher levels indicates that investors are not ready to give up on the coin easily. In a retaliatory action, the price tested the same level once more. This is a critical trading level, and acceptance above $120 is required for traders to maintain upside momentum.
