Cardano Q2 Report: Did ADA Perform Well for the Second Quarter?

• The Cardano Q2 shows that the cryptocurrency did well within the year’s second quarter. In fact, some of the key metrics show a massive increase from the previous years. 
• On the other hand, some other metrics were negative, like the Cardano transaction fees. Overall, critical analysis shows Cardano did quite well in the second quarter. 

According to a second-quarter report released by Messari.io, the Cardano ecosystem did quite well in many sectors. In 2017, the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Layer-1 smart contract network, Cardano, came into existence. Since then, the blockchain continues to make their platform better. For their Q1 report, the network showed positive signs, but it even got better in Q2. 

Overall Cardano Network Overview 

This blockchain network has many positive signs, especially regarding its network overview. Although many things didn’t go as expected, other positives made up for it. The transaction fees in this network did increase a bit. The average transaction fee increased 8.5% Q to Q from $0.117 to $0.126, a part of the negatives of the network. But it wasn’t the only one, as the daily active addresses on Cardano declined. It went from 60,200 to 57,800. Apparently, this is the fifth time active addresses decline Q to Q on the network. 

However, the number of transactions increased on the network, moving from 67,500 to 68,800. This is really good news for the network, despite the drop in their active addresses. Moreover, it means those active on the platform contribute more than ever. 

Increase in Blockchain Load 

Also, the blockchain load in this network seems to be increasing. From the 40% load in Q1, it went all the way to 50% in Q2. 

Messari.io explained what they meant when they said, “A 100% load would mean that all blocks are full (currently 90 kb per block), and 0% load would mean that all blocks are empty. Smaller transactions, created by more efficient coin selection algorithms, would help increase Cardano’s TPS and bandwidth in the event of a 100% blockchain load.“

Financial Overview Of the Cardano Network 

Few things look good in the financial aspect of the Cardano network. Apparently, a large percentage of the financial report has many negatives there. However, this is quite understandable as the crypto market didn’t look good save for a few times. 

Cardano’s Treasury balance increased 8.5% to 1.30 billion ADA during Q2. But when you look at the USD valuation of these tokens, there’s a massive decline. Obviously, the market situation kicked in. The value of the treasury went from $452 million to $358 million. 

Conclusion 

The Cardano network did really well in some aspects of its Q2 report. Everything indicates that besides the bad outlook of the crypto market, the token would have done better. It saw negatives in the value of the crypto and transaction fees and the number of active addresses. However, there were positives in the average transaction activity and treasury.
