From this to that

Two weeks after the Vasil hard fork, a landmark event for Cardano, it could be argued that the update had a positive effect on the blockchain.

According to Cardano Blockchain Insights, the blockchain registered a total of 51.3 million transactions since its inception in 2017. Herein, around 12.5 million smart contract transactions were generated since the Alonzo hard fork was launched in September 2021. This accounted for almost 25% of all transactions generated in the last year.

In terms of transactions daily, transaction count on Messari saw more than 55k transactions on the network at press time. Meanwhile, Cardano stood #2 in the list and ahead of Ethereum, when it came to 24-hour transaction volume.

In early 2022, the cryptocurrency finally broke below the $1 price point which triggered more losses and sent Cardano flying back to its 2020 levels. And still, the down side continued. At press time, ADA suffered a fresh 8% correction as it stood around the $0.40 mark.
