Hydra is a solution ecosystem working to resolve scalability and security concerns with Cardano (ADA), the world’s biggest proof-of-stake (PoS) network and popular smart contract platform.
Following the discussion on the newest Cardano (ADA) blockchain and infrastructure updates, an anonymous Crypto Twitter enthusiast asked about Hydra’s architecture with IOG’s Matthias Benkort (@KtorZ_).
Mr. Benkort was asked about Hydra’s modular design, which allows for the deployment of a variety of decentralised applications (dApps) to its infrastructure.
The developer revealed that Hydra would be able to onboard dApps of various architectures by using its component pieces (“Heads”) in a Lego-like fashion.
Furthermore, the actual design of Hydra and its future plan will be determined by the plans of community representatives; several parts of the fundamental “Head” are currently entirely up to the community.
Hydra is an ecosystem of Layer 2 scaling options for Cardano (ADA). Hydra, being one of the first protocols of its kind, is poised to outperform conventional Ethereum-based L2 protocols such as Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum.
Meanwhile, the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem is getting closer to Vasil, its biggest update since the adoption of smart contracts in Q3, 2021.
As a result, Cardano (ADA) enhances its infrastructure for the DeFi market by making its pioneering algorithmic stablecoin, Djed, created in conjunction with COTI Network, accessible on various key decentralised finance protocols.
