Cardano price: ADA moves up to 7th place among the largest cryptocurrencies

 


Cardano (ADA) overtakes XRP to become the seventh largest cryptocurrency by market cap.


ADA price is up 5.4% in 24 hours, about a week after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced the Vasil hard fork on September 22, 2022.


In a live stream on August 26, 2022, Hoskinson said the launch date would depend on exchange readiness . In the past, these have always acted quickly after the announcement of a hard fork and are now ready to get started with the total ADA liquidity of around 80% required for the upgrade. The top ten decentralized apps after Total Value Locked (TVL) have already switched to the latest version 1.35.3 of the Cardano Vasil code.


ADA rises to $0.50 ahead of Vasil upgrade

On August 26, ADA fell to $0.43 but gradually recovered to around $0.45 by September 2, 2022. Between September 2nd and the publication of this article, the price finally reached $0.50. The market cap also rose to $16,818,245,850, surpassing that of Ripple Labs cryptocurrency XRP, which was $1.6 billion at the same time.


The Vasil upgrade is one of three hard forks originally described by Hoskinson as part of the Cardano 2022 roadmap. It is part of the “Basho” phase of the project, which aims to improve the scalability and interoperability of the Cardano blockchain with other chains.


The Vasil upgrade aims to improve the Plutus programming language used for developing decentralized applications and the scalability of Cardano. This is intended to reduce the load on the network and reduce transaction fees. With the launch of the blockchain-owned NFT marketplace jpg.store and the decentralized exchange SundaeSwap, a problem with the current Cardano mainnet became apparent : Both launches brought slow transaction speeds and network congestion, with a corresponding negative impact on the user experience.


Vasil will also reduce block transfer latency. So the time it takes for a block of transactions to propagate across the network.


Experts predict a positive price development

Cardano has generally performed positively with major software upgrades. For example, from February 1, 2021 to March 1, 2021, the date of the Shelley hard fork, the ADA price rose from USD 0.356 to around USD 1.30. Between July 21, 2021 and September 2, 2021, ahead of the Alonzo hard fork on September 12, 2021, the cryptocurrency saw a surge from $1.06 to an all-time high of around $3.09.


A full 53 fintech specialists expressed bullishness on the Cardano price in a recent survey by Finder.com, forecasting $0.63 by the end of 2022, even $2.93 by the end of 2025 and by the end of 2030 $6.54.

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...
