As of Friday (25 November 2022), there are 1,146 projects powered by Cardano, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as good news you will hearing about in this article is concerned.
As Olga Hryniuk, who works in the Marketing and Communications department of IO Global (IOG), the blockchain technology firm responsible for the development of Cardano ($ADA), reported on 25 November 2022 in her company’s latest Cardano Weekly Report, there are currently (as of the date of the report) 106 projects launched on Cardano, 1,146 projects building on Cardano, 6.9 million tokens, and 3,759 Plutus scripts; also, there have so far been over 55.3 million transactions.

Then, roughly 20 minutes later (i.e. at 1:44 a.m. UTC on 24 November 2022), the Ardano team, which was working on “the first all-in-one stablecoin ecosystem built on Cardano”, announced that “due to recent developments with regards to funding and project timeline uncertainty, the Ardana project has had to come to a halt”:
Here were a few reactions from the crypto community:
