Cardano Experiences a Swift Rise in Innovation
The large increases in distinct accounts show the increasing acceptance of the Cardano system, as different developers promote it using a multitude of initiatives. Cardano Daily reported that nearly half of the possessions with the biggest growth in unique accounts were from the DeFi sector, signifying that more people are focusing on this area as markets try to bounce back.
Last Thursday, Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, drew attention to reports that there was a 90% rise in the daily active addresses on the network. Additionally, this year saw a 300% increase in Plutus-based smart contracts to 3,791 on Saturday with ongoing improvements being made to the network.
In an effort to encourage further innovation, it was announced that the stablecoin DJED is scheduled to be launched on the Cardano mainnet in January 2023.
Last Monday, Indigo Protocol debuted the first USD-backed stablecoin on Cardano’s network, called iUSD. Furthermore, in the near future Cardano will have another stablecoin, USDA from EMURGO, launching in early 2023.
