$ADA

Cardano (ADA) continues its evolution as a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain with a focus on academic research and rigorous development. Recently, a significant milestone has been observed with over 2,000 projects building on its network, employing a large number of Plutus scripts for DeFi.

Development activity is constant, with frequent updates to its core technology and wallets. The upcoming hard fork "Chang" promises to advance on-chain governance, granting greater control to the community. Despite market pressure and price fluctuations, the network continues to expand, seeking to improve scalability with solutions like Hydra and working on interoperability, including a recent DeFi protocol for Bitcoin.
