Cardano development accelerates, but user activity sees 10-month low

While Cardano has just surpassed the monthly amount of suggested code updates from projects like Ethereum, Solana, Kusama and Polkadot, user activity is dropping considerably.

Cardano has shown more than 350 commits on GitHub in a month, major updates and solutions since the beginning of 2022 and expects the Vasil hardfork for this Wednesday, the 27th.

However, none of this has been enough to satisfy user demands, as the number of active addresses has dropped to a ten-month low. According to data from blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the number of active addresses on the Cardano network has dropped from a December 2021 high of 225,000 to a current 72,482, a level of activity not seen since August last year.

Likewise, conversations surrounding the ADA on major social media platforms also dropped to a four-month low in line with the overall cryptocurrency market correction. The price is also on the decline due to the wider crypto winter.

However, enthusiasts are waiting for a possible change of scenery with tomorrow’s update. After all, if all goes well and the ADA goes up we may see a new FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out – fear of being left out) influencing general market sentiment, suggested to Santiment.
