Cardano-The Third Generation Blockchain Technology.pptxRashilaShrestha
Cardano is a third generation blockchain platform launched in 2017 that aims to be a decentralized application platform. It uses a proof-of-stake consensus protocol called Ouroboros to validate transactions and mint new coins. Cardano has five development phases focused on decentralization, smart contracts, scalability, and governance. It differs from Bitcoin and Ethereum in its research-first approach and use of proof-of-stake over proof-of-work. Potential use cases for Cardano include education, agriculture, government, finance, and healthcare.
Global power and utilities deal value totaled $26.8 billion in Q2 2019, a 44% increase from Q1 2019. The Americas had the largest deal value at $13.1 billion. Financial investors dominated deal activity, seeking stability from integrated utility assets. Renewable energy continued to attract investment, driving interest in battery storage technologies. Utilities also invested in new technologies like blockchain, smart grids, and electric vehicles. Overall, utilities gained value in Q2 but slightly underperformed the market.
Summary: Even in a time of high biopharma valuations, adopting an activist mentality adds rigor to capital allocation and strategic decision-making, improving not just returns to shareholders but long-term value creation. Therefore, biopharma management teams and boards of directors should proactively assess the “fitness” of their capital allocation strategies and their alignment with operational performance goals by taking an outsider’s view of the business even when times are good — and before a material stumble provides a compelling reason for an outsider to act.

EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q2 | April 2022EY
The theme for this quarter is rearrangement. The loss, or potential loss, of Russian oil and gas supplies is forcing producers, refiners and traders to rethink the flow of crude oil and refined products from the wellhead to the gas pump in light of sanctions, potential sanctions and the risk of reputational damage. Countries, companies and consumers will all be searching for ways to adapt, and the outcome of the race to bring alternatives to market could alter the global energy landscape for years to come.
It is likely crude oil and LNG prices will remain elevated for some time. The process of diverting Russian oil through countries unwilling to sanction it will take time and there is little indication OPEC members are willing (or able) to increase production to make up for the loss of Russian crude. Spare capacity sat at 3.7 mbpd at the end of 2021, just above where it was in January 2020. Currently, sanctioned Venezuelan and Iranian production (about 3 mbpd below their peak) could fill the gap, but political and commercial obstacles remain. At today’s prices, US shale production is attractive, but the fastest the industry has been able to grow is between 1mbpd and 2mbpd per year. The LNG infrastructure was already stretched before the war in Ukraine and there is little prosect of finding new supplies soon.
As the largest buyer of Russian energy, Europe will be the epicenter. There is a deeply embedded bias there in favor for renewable energy, and the current crisis is certain to result in an all-out effort to accelerate the build-out of wind and solar power. The capacity to add new green energy is limited though by the project pipeline and supply chains for solar panels and wind turbines, and it is likely that much of the shortfall will be made up with the new LNG infrastructure.

Projects building on Cardano
The Cardano ecosystem continues to
expand at a remarkable rate with over
1,100 projects building on the
blockchain (read about how we
calculate this number here). These
projects range from DEXs to wallets,
DeFi, identity solutions, marketplaces,
cellular and broadband connectivity,
NFTs, and many more.
Cardano is also becoming
interoperable with other blockchains
thanks to projects like Milkomeda C1,
a sidechain protocol that delivers
EVM-compatibility to Cardano.
Interoperability leads to an extended
ecosystem, providing teams and
businesses from other blockchains
with the possibility to build on
Cardano.

The Essential Cardano
Guide to the Ecosystem
50. 2021 | Confidential and Proprietary
Decentralization is one of Cardano’s core tenets and is set to be further realized in the
Voltaire era, which will provide the final pieces required for the Cardano network to become
a fully self-sustaining system. With the introduction of a voting and treasury infrastructure,
network participants will be able to present CIPs that stakeholders can vote on to influence
the future development of the network.
To further decentralize Cardano, a member-based organization (MBO) will be set up, and
include community members and core developers.
