The digital currency “DOT” of the Polkadot project took a strong step towards the fourth place in the list of the largest digital currencies in terms of total market capitalization, behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether, and left behind the Ripple currency.

The performance of the digital currency “DOT” can be compared with the performance of the price of the Ethereum currency due to the similarity of their projects with each other, and a question can be asked:

Is Polkadot Really the Killer of Ethereum?

Since Ethereum’s bull run in 2017, several smart contract platforms have emerged.

All platforms supporting smart contracts promise to speed up transactions, reduce transaction costs, and kill Ethereum.

These goals still tempt start-up companies, as many of them continue to try, and the most prominent of these projects that have managed to secure a place in the list of large currencies by market capitalization are “Polkadot” and “Cardano”.

But how does using the platform translate into a price? Is there a connection?

Comparison between Ethereum and Polkadot:

Ethereum is currently ranked second in terms of the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies, with an estimated market capitalization of $139 billion.

The Polkadt coin has a total market value of $16 billion.

But the Polkadt coin continues to climb the list up.

According to data provided by CoinGecko, the digital currency DOT has nearly quadrupled its market value since mid-December.

As for Polkadot’s blockchain usage, data from Polkascan – a website that provides data on Polkadot blockchain transactions – shows that transactions on the platform peaked at around 6 transactions per minute during the high volume of transactions in the past few days.

On Polkadot I performed well under six treatments per minute on average before peaking.

On the other hand, Ethereum transactions averaged more than 850 transactions per minute consistently over the past month.

This is more than 140 times the previous peak.

This means a clear superiority of Ethereum in terms of transaction volume over the Blockchain.

All of the above figures and data for “Ethereum” and “Polkadot” show the vast differences between the two projects, especially with regard to the total market value of both, which shows that the total value of Ethereum is almost 9 times that of “Polkadot”.

However, the value of the digital currency Ethereum is equal to 70 times the digital currency “Polkadot”.

What makes it difficult to determine which is unvalued is Ethereum or Polkadot.

According to Pantera Capital, one of the most popular blockchain-based venture capital firms, Ethereum is undervalued compared to Bitcoin.

On the long-term level, and if the digital currency “DOT” of the “Polkadot” project proves itself, the same can be said about it as being undervalued compared to Ethereum.
