Cardano and Solana are leading blockchain platforms that have gained significant attention recently. Cardano is a Layer-0 blockchain platform with a delegated Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It is highly regarded for its governance infrastructure.  On the other hand, Solana is also a Layer-0 blockchain platform; however, it uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH). Solana is highly regarded for its rapidly growing and thriving DeFi ecosystem.
