Like several cryptocurrencies, Cardano has been trying to court Elon Musk after he abandoned Bitcoin for his Energy consumption.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson paused in an attempt to lure Tesla’s CEO to try to convince Cuban that Cardano is a good project.

He also stated that a “beautiful DApp ecosystem” will be developed with Cardano’s smart contract function.
