What should developers consider when deploying dApps on Cardano?

[lingriiddd]

Cardano smart contracts run on Plutus, a Haskell-based framework emphasizing security and formal verification. Developers need to account for:

Transaction throughput limits: Cardano currently supports ~250 TPS on mainnet; high-demand dApps may require Layer 2 scaling solutions.

Cost optimization: Execution costs are calculated in ADA; batch transactions and careful contract design reduce fees.

Interoperability: Integrating with oracles, stablecoins, or cross-chain bridges requires understanding of Cardano’s eUTxO model, which differs from Ethereum’s account-based model.

Solid breakdown, Plutus brings serious rigor to Cardano dev, but eUTxO + TPS limits mean optimization is everything

Exactly, Cardano’s strength is precision, not speed. Optimize smart, scale smart
