Cardano adoption at record high

 


The negative trend in the crypto market has also caught Cardano. The Altcoin currently has to defend itself against numerous sell-offs. Over the past 24 hours, native cryptocurrency ADA has seen its price decline around 11.8 percent and is trading around $0.66 at the time of writing. Despite the bearish market environment, positive tendencies are emerging within the network.


On the one hand, adoption at Cardano can progress significantly. This is shown by a report by CryptoCompare . Accordingly, the company again noticed an increase in wallet addresses that hold ADA in their portfolio. While 529,000 new hodlers joined the network in March, Cardano was able to expand this position by almost 3 percent in April – to 679,000. The number of addresses rose to 5.2 million at the end of last month, setting a new all-time high. At the same time, the number of short-term traders fell by almost 45 percent to 377,000.


Nevertheless, Cardano had to accept losses in network activity due to the negative trend of the past few weeks. The number of daily users fell from 123,000 to just under 52,000 in April - a drop of almost 58 percent. On a monthly basis, transactions even fell by more than 62 percent at times.


Cardano dApp store is growing

Despite the backward movement in activity, Cardano can continue to expand its offer on its own dApp store “Plutos”. The platform was launched last year after Cardano implemented smart contracts in the network for the first time with the hard fork “Alonzo”. In order to counteract network overload, the block size was increased in February in order to be able to process more transactions at the same time.


The move is now bearing fruit. As data from the network shows, 271 new smart contracts were implemented within a month. On average, Plutos adds almost 70 smart contracts per week.


However, it is rather unlikely that these developments will influence the generally pessimistic market environment. According to the AI-supported analysis company IntoTheBlock, the interest of retail investors in Cardano has increased, but ADA is still miles away from the glory of days gone by. 78 percent are currently separating the coin from the all-time high.

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...
