ADAUSD Cardano

Cardano (ADA) was at the peak of its performance in 2022, boasting an all-time high Total Value Locked of over $400.

With this growth rate, many are wondering if Cardano will have what it takes to reach its previous all-time high TVL. Over the last six months, $ADA TVL has consistently increased. Currently, the seven-day moving average sits at $154m, a number that has not been seen since May 2022. pic.twitter.com/wkbYoAddQb — Artemis 🏹 (@Artemis__xyz) May 3, 2023 Related Reading: Pepe Shakes Off CZ’s Controversial Views On Meme Coins, Shoots Up 709% Cardano Growing TVL, Development Efforts Hint At Bright Future Cardano’s TVL has been on a consistent upward trajectory, with a recent surge of over 9% in just 24 hours, according to DeFiLlama’s.  Source: DeFiLlama Meanwhile, a tweet from Input Output Global highlighted the blockchain’s impressive performance in April, with the Hydra team gearing up for the upcoming 0.10.0 mainnet release.  As Cardano continues to prioritize scalability, this new release could have a significant impact on the entire ecosystem. 1/ The weekly development update is released every Friday on #EssentialCardano.
