- NFTs on the Cardano network became extremely popular.
- Despite this, activity on the network continued to decline.
Cardano [ADA] has seen a huge drop in prices over the past month. While this decline may lead to skepticism around the Cardano network, there may be some factors that could help ADA make inroads.
NFTs are seeing growth
The Cardano network’s NFTs dominated the market last month, with very large inter-debit transactions taking place. Cardano NFTs surpassed Ethereum and Solana in sales and also in the total price of each sale.

The dominance of Cardano’s NFTs in both transaction quantity and total sales value positions the network as a formidable competitor in the NFT market. This success may spur artists, makers, and collectors to choose the network as their preferred platform for creating and trading NFT.
Additionally, the success of Cardano’s NFTs could improve the network’s overall reputation and credibility in the broader blockchain space.
Positive market sentiment generated by successful NFT sales can attract the attention of investors and developers, potentially leading to increased investments and the development of more decentralized applications (dApps) on the platform.
Some trouble ahead
Despite the increase in the number of NFTs traded on the Cardano network, overall activity on the protocol continued to decline along with the transactions taking place on the network.
As a result, the fees generated by the network also decreased. The accrued compensation has decreased by 11.3% in the past month.
Code commits on Cardano’s GitHub also dropped. This suggested that development activity on the network had slowed.
