Cardano continues to show steady growth across its ecosystem. The platform now hosts 2,004 active projects, with 820 focused on non-NFT applications and 1,184 centered on NFTs.
Delegated wallets reached 1.33 million, marking a weekly increase of 0.04%. Meanwhile, the total number of native tokens has grown to 10.83 million, alongside 216,879 token policies.
On-chain activity also picked up. Plutus scripts rose to 138,365, with 7,213 written in Aiken. Total transactions climbed to 110.43 million, up 0.20% week-over-week. Registered DReps reached 1,352, showing a 0.44% uptick. GitHub activity surged as well, recording 278 commits — a 32% jump.
The Cardano Foundation also introduced “Originate,” a traceability tool to authenticate assets through open-source methods.
Cardano’s SRE team upgraded infrastructure to Nix packages 25.05 and Nix 2.29.1, preparing for the upcoming release of cardano-node v.10.6.0. This version will feature a default tracing system, improving monitoring across binary artifacts and Docker images.
The consensus team made progress on the Leios protocol, updating the Haskell simulator and fixing snapshot issues in LedgerDB v2. A new CDDL validator was released, and the team published an analysis on modifying the VRF tiebreaker for community input, to be discussed on June 19 at 14:30 UTC.
Smart contract tooling is also advancing. The Plutus Core team added support for boolean and integer case analysis. Plinth’s updates now enable evaluation with the CEK machine, and enhance data conversion using product-type lists. Additionally, the team is rolling out the plutus-metatheory on CHaP to help integrate a certifier into the Plinth compiler.
