While a high level of development activity can go a long way towards increasing investor confidence, it is more important to consider what is being developed. Another recent Cardano moderator pointed to a report showing that Cardano currently has over 4,800 smart contracts. In addition, there are more than 1,100 projects in development on the network.

Cardano’s development activity metrics show that the network has maintained a healthy level of development over the past 12 months. This is despite the fact that ADA has experienced severe headwinds during the same period.
Development activity on the network dropped to a minimum during the holidays, but has since resumed. Another interesting observation about Cardano is that the trend is shifting in favor of daily on-chain transaction volume profits rather than losses.
Losing volumes dominate, especially towards the end of the year, while profitable volumes dominate in January 2023.

A key point to note is that volume is currently relatively low compared to three-month highs. This reflects ADA’s strong rally since early January.
Notably, ADA bears briefly regained dominance mid-month, but it was short-lived and the cryptocurrency has now hit a new 2-month high.

ADA’s continued rally also reflects a continued increase in volatility. This is backed by a surge in weighted sentiment since mid-January, confirming investors’ optimism or bullishness on ADA’s outlook.

Judging by its price action and strong development activity, Cardano has certainly had a healthy start to the year. It will be interesting to see how these factors will affect the performance of the network and the value of ADA in the coming months.
