<p>A prominent analyst and investor is not optimistic about L2s as a way to scale programmable blockchains. That is why he proposes an alternative solution for Cardano (ADA), the second largest proof-of-stake (PoS) platform, to advance its throughput.</p> 
<h2 id="cardano-ada-scaling-strategy-criticized-by-top-analyst">Cardano (ADA) scaling strategy criticized by top analyst</h2> 
<p>The Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX) blockchains should be focused on scaling their Layers-1 more instead of relying on second-layer scaling mechanisms such as Hydra and other sidechain instruments. Such a recommendation was shared by Justin Bons on his personal X today, Sept. 18, 2023.</p> 
<img alt="Cardano (ADA) should focus on L1 scaling" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0d80285c-d4b4-45d1-a319-f4e6b7ae38e5" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/40267_1.png">Image via <a href="https://twitter.com/Justin_Bons/status/1703787297336861014" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a> 
<p>Bons commented on Cardano's Input Endorsers, a mechanism designed to create a new protocol necessary for "enorsing" transactions before adding them to new blocks "officially."</p> 
<p>This technique reminds one of Avalanche's (AVAX) "pre-consensus" approach to scaling, the analyst recalls. However, both Cardano and Avalanche's implementations of "preliminary" adding transactions to blocks has limited throughput.</p> 
<p>Reaching bandwidth above 1,000-2,000 transactions per second (TPS) would be difficult with these methods. This is why Cardano (ADA) should not be concentrated on Hydra and other sidechains as a way to solve scalability issues.</p> 
<p>As covered by U.Today previously, Cardano's L2 solution <a href="https://u.today/cardanos-hydra-is-live-heres-what-to-expect" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hydra</a> kicked off in mainnet in May 2023. A month ago, an inaugural major update was delivered.</p>

<p>Also, in September 2023, Cardano (ADA) developers and enthusiasts started exploring zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) as an instrument to advance the network's performance and security.</p> 
<p>The dedicated ZK-Labs team started working on a new scalability initiative that might replace Hydra in the near future, as covered by U.Today <a href="https://u.today/cardano-ada-exploring-zk-proofs-is-this-plan-to-relegate-hydra" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previously</a>.</p> 
<p>In December 2022, Justin Bons said that he could be wrong about <a href="https://u.today/maybe-i-was-wrong-about-cardano-cybercapital-cio-admits-after-saying-it-lagged-behind" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano's</a> "lagging behind."</p>
