Altcoins refer to any other form of cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, that means almost every other coin out there is an Altcoin. There are different types of altcoins; such as Stablecoins, Mining-based coins, Stacking-based coins and Governance tokens. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are designed to replicate the price of another asset. Mining-based coins are cryptocurrencies that use a mining process to verify transactions and produce more coins. Stacking-based coins are the same as mining-based coins except they use a process called Stacking to verify transactions and produce more coins. Governance tokens are cryptocurrencies that give holders voting rights to help shape the future of the project. Altcoins can add diversity to your investment portfolio, they’re worth investing in if you're willing to do your homework!

A smart contract is one that happens between 2 parties on its own,the terms of the agreement between the parties is directly written into a line of code. The code and the agreements resulting exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network. Over the past month, we have seen the price of Cardano peak and fall, today the price is sitting at $0.954, a -5.6% change between yesterday and today, however the cryptocurrency seems to be on the rise this morning. Other than current market conditions and cryptocurrency volatility, the reason for the fall in the price of Cardano can be attributed to the high competition from Bitgert BRC20 Chain.
