Cardano hit a new milestone, 1760 days without an outage

In a watershed moment for the Cardano community, the blockchain functioned smoothly, with no outages for 1760 days. Cardano is one of the most actively developed blockchains in the whole industry, with one of the highest numbers of GitHub commits, 350 in June 2022. 

The high pace of development on the Cardano blockchain is tied to the altcoin network's popularity and social dominance. Cardano offers an alternative to developers from the Ethereum ecosystem, a low-cost and efficient alternative with fast transaction processing. 

This makes it a lucrative choice for NFT and dApp developers in the crypto ecosystem. 

Analysts predict Cardano will run up to $0.55

Analysts at FXStreet have evaluated the Cardano price trend and predicted a rally to $0.55 in the current uptrend of the altcoin. Cardano has bullish potential, and the altcoin is ready to wipe its losses from the past few weeks.
