Cardano: More than 120,000 new staking wallets in two months



Cardano's number of staking addresses has increased by over 100,000 in two months as the Goguen era continues to attract more investors. More updates will follow.

The Cardano ecosystem continues to enjoy great popularity. Numbers from Pooltool show an enormous increase in staking wallets in Cardano. As of November 10, 2021, according to media reports, the analysis tool had a total of 942,117 staking addresses. Of these, 121,093 wallets were added in the last two months, which is an increase of 14.7 percent.


In addition, ADA is now represented in more than two million wallets. Recently, the share price development was a little less dynamic. However, this does not seem to detract from Cardano's popularity, as the threshold of one million Cardano wallets was already exceeded in May.


The Goguen era at Cardano continues

The Cardano ecosystem has entered a new age this year. Smart contract capabilities are implemented with the Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) Alonzo. That convinces many investors of the further expansion of the ecosystem. The Alonzo hard fork is part of the Goguen era of the network, named after Joseph Goguen, an American professor of computer science at the University of California and the University of Oxford. The Goguen era follows the Shelley phase when Cardano became a decentralized blockchain - and community members became validators.

Cardano's next planned Hydra update is a second-level solution. This is intended to increase the scalability of the network as it continues to develop at a rapid pace. To do this, ADA must process transactions off-chain but still rely on the main chain's ledger for billing purposes. A major advantage of this solution is a significant reduction in transaction costs. The processing time is also significantly shorter. A possible value is 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS). For comparison: the credit card company Visa achieves a processing speed of 24,000 TPS at peak times.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
