Cardano continues to demonstrate impressive growth and active development within its ecosystem. The platform now boasts over 2000 projects, indicating increasing interest and community engagement.
Overall Achievements of Cardano
The platform Cardano has surpassed 2003 launched projects. Total transactions have now exceeded 110.63 million, representing a 0.19% increase from last week. The number of delegated wallets has also grown, highlighting strong community engagement.
Smart contract deployment remains active with 138,544 Plutus scripts and 7,350 Aiken scripts currently live, up 0.14% week-over-week. This progress signifies a 24% increase in developer contributions, with 210 GitHub commits logged.
Technical Improvements
The ledger team continued modernization efforts, improving the CDDL-generation tool for better code readability and accuracy. Support for GHC 8.10 was dropped, allowing for more advanced compiler checks and optimizations.
One legacy bug has been resolved, and early work on nested transactions has begun. Preparations are underway for a planned intra-era hard fork later this year.
The Mithril team released version 2524.0, which supports Cardano node 10.4.1 and introduces a new CLI tool for converting UTXO-HD ledger state snapshots.
Catalyst Development and User Experience
Project Catalyst hosted its 194th town hall and released Episode 3 of the Under the Hood series. This episode focused on user experience design with insights from senior product designer Niels Kijf.
As nearly 50 projects complete monthly, Catalyst will soon highlight the latest batch of successfully closed and funded initiatives.
Cardano continues to thrive, introducing new projects and technologies. The increase in transactions and projects showcases strong community engagement, while technological improvements support the ecosystem's growth.
