- Cardano’s development activities reached new heights as the number of code commits grew.
- Daily active addresses and transactions on the network dropped significantly.
Cardano [ADA] There has been a huge increase in development activities in recent weeks. As a result, Cardano outperformed other cryptocurrencies in this regard.
Coders ‘commit’ to Cardano
New data shows that Cardano has achieved the highest number of code commits over the past 365 days, surpassing Ethereum, Polkadot and the BNB network.
Code commits are essentially changes made to the source code, and having the highest number indicates an active and ongoing effort to improve the Cardano network.
The high number of code commits could be a result of the development team trying to achieve the 2024 goals. Cardano’s technical director recently announced on Twitter what the Cardano team wants to achieve this year.
Jo. I’m back. Roadmap for the year:
– Keep building great OSS (Ogmios upgrade coming soon + Kupo read-only replicas).
– More Aiken tooling (property testing and off-chain code generation from blueprints)
– A cool, tech-focused conference: https://t.co/ulMdFaocUl
– MORE education
– MOAR💝
