While many community members enjoy debating what the ultimate blockchain is, Cardano Foundation executives believe that use cases dictate which blockchain is best suited for a particular project, so these discussions are I think it should stop.

At the World Token Summit in Dubai, Cointelegraph sat down with Mel McCann, Vice President of Engineering, Cardano Foundation. The executive spoke on a variety of topics, including corporate adoption and the need to stop arguing over which blockchain is best.

According to McCann, blockchain offers many potential advantages in terms of tracking the history of basically anything. “There are different ways blockchain can be used for all of these things, like proof of origin and provenance,” he said. There are many ways businesses can leverage blockchain for different purposes.

But McCann said this doesn’t mean companies need to completely change their business models to adapt. One of his interests, the executive said, is to identify areas that can help companies “extend” what they’re already doing. He said:

“We are not going to change people’s business models.

The executive also told Cointelegraph how education plays a role in bringing companies to Cardano and Web3. “We spend a lot of time on education, not just the mass education platform we’re building, but direct education with companies,” McCann said.

When asked to compare the strengths and weaknesses of various blockchain platforms, McCann said each has different use cases. The executive also said there is no such thing as an ultimate blockchain. He said:

“One of the things I think people should stop asking is, ‘What is the ultimate blockchain?’ Because it doesn’t exist in my mind. ”

McCann argued that only people starting a business can assess which blockchain is best suited for their business. The executive argued that using different blockchains has different advantages. “I never turn around and say, ‘Yes, it’s a one-stop shop.’ It just doesn’t work that way,” he explained.
