Cardano’s social volume and dominance are seeing a lift
Tap Tools shared a post on May 13, revealing an impressive 457.9 million social engagements around Cardano in the past seven days. In addition, Santiment’s data indicated that Cardano’s social dominance experienced a notable rise from March.
In March and April, the project controlled about 2% of conversations in the crypto space, reflecting its prominence. However, the measure of social dominance by press fell slightly to about 1.4%.
In addition, social volume analysis pointed to a similar pattern, peaking at more than 3,200 on March 22. While social volume remained decent, there was a noticeable drop, with the press-time figure hovering around 607 engagements.
A possible Cardano social trigger
During the week, Cardano witnessed several significant developments. First, the release of Cardano node v.8.0.0 introduced a new governance action that simplifies on-chain SPO polling and streamlines the process. Lace 1.1.0 debuted and brought numerous improvements and features to enhance the user experience. Notably, users can now recover their wallets using a 12 or 15 word recovery phrase and easily track the prices of their own tokens.
Meanwhile, Mithril’s team launched a new 2318.0 distribution, contributing to the overall advancement of the ecosystem.
The introduction of the Cardano-based meme coin, SNEK, sparked a wave of meme coin mania, leading to an increase in discussion and social activity around Cardano. These events may have contributed to the recent increase in social engagement.
What the hell is this #Snek something people keep tweeting about?
