Cardano about to explode? Over 100 new smart contracts since Vasil hard fork

 


In the two weeks since the Vasil hard fork, the Cardano network has grown by over 100 smart contracts – the total number of active addresses has also continued to grow. The ADA price, on the other hand, fell by 6%. A one-time purchase opportunity?


The Vasil upgrade should help improve the scalability and performance of smart contracts on Cardano . The success speaks for itself: since the launch of the hard fork, the network has grown by 100 new smart contracts.


According to available data, the network reached the milestone of 3,000 smart contracts in August. With the launch of the Vasil hard fork on September 22nd, that number had increased to 3,292 and now, two weeks later, it's already over 3,400 .


Cardano staking declining

However, the hard fork did not appear to have any significant impact on staking on the network. Since the upgrade, the Total Value Locked (TVL) has not increased – quite the opposite: Cardano’s TVL has only been around $75 million since October 9th .


After the hard fork, the total number of staked ADA increased briefly, even reaching $148 million on October 3rd. However, this is still well below the peak of $326 million reached on March 24, 2022.


Transactions briefly declining

As Cardano Blockchain Insights showed, transaction volume on the network has been quite volatile since the hard fork . According to the data, the number of transactions briefly fell to 12,000 on September 23, but most recently rose again to over 60,000.


Since a transaction on Cardano can contain many payments, a look at the daily payments provides more information. While daily payments basically stayed the same, monthly payments per day have seen an increase since the Vasil hard fork.


The number of active addresses per day has also increased since the upgrade. However, after peaking at 78,849 on Oct. 4, the number had fallen back to 70,752 by the time the article was published.


ADA price has fallen from $0.473 to currently around $0.4236 since the Vasil upgrade on September 23. This corresponds to a loss in value of 6% .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
