Cardano’s 110 Million Transactions: A Milestone with a Side of Sarcasm

Well, well, well, if it isn’t Cardano, the blockchain that’s finally decided to join the party! 🎉 It’s hit a whopping 110 million transactions, which, let’s be honest, is a bit like saying I’ve finally managed to get out of bed before noon. A historic moment, they say. I say, it’s about time!

According to the latest weekly report by Input Output, Cardano is apparently expanding “consistently” across key ecosystem parameters. 🤔 The network has processed 110.63 million transactions, with on-chain activity up a thrilling 0.19% from the previous week. I mean, who doesn’t love a good 0.19% increase?!

The total number of projects has reached 2,003, and the total number of delegated wallets has also increased. I’m sure that’s a relief for all the crypto enthusiasts out there who were worried about running out of wallets to delegate. 😅

Smart contract development also continues to grow, with 138,544 Plutus scripts and 7,350 Aiken scripts now live, indicating a 0.14% growth from last week. Governance participation has hit a new high, with 1,365 DReps, 972 of which are active. Developer contributions remain high, with 210 GitHub commits, a 24% increase from last week. It’s like a tech version of a soap opera, but with more numbers and less drama. 📊

Cardano Prepares for Intra-Era Hard Fork

In its most recent report, Input Output revealed that preparations have begun for an intra-era hard fork later this year. I’m sure everyone’s on the edge of their seats. 🪑

Zooming in, the Cardano ledger team spent the last four weeks modernizing the codebase, reducing technical debt, and preparing for the anticipated intra-era hard fork. A significant emphasis was placed on CDDL enhancements, resulting in improved readability and the correction of long-standing errors dating back to the Byron period. In addition, one more bug has been fixed in preparation for the hard fork, and preliminary work on nested transactions is currently underway. It’s like a tech version of spring cleaning, but with more bugs and less dusters. 🐜

In the coming days, key improvements are anticipated for the Cardano node as the network moves toward a more diverse and modular node ecosystem design for improved stability and scalability. These include: log-structured merge (LSM) trees for memory efficiency, revised stake pool incentives for diversity, anti-grinding measures for consensus layer strength, and tiered pricing for predictable transactions. It’s like a buffet of tech improvements, but with less food and more code. 🍽️
