Cardano (ADA) has reclaimed its leading position in development activity, according to Santiment, a blockchain analytics firm. Over the past 30 days, Cardano recorded 611.47 significant GitHub commits, surpassing all other major cryptocurrency projects in this category.
Polkadot (DOT) and its associated canary test network, Kusama (KSM), had previously surpassed Cardano. However, the latest data shows that Polkadot and KSM accumulated 500.67 GitHub commits during the same 30-day period, sharing second place in the development activity rankings.
Santiment underscores the significance of robust development activity. This is often seen as a testament to developers’ confidence in the blockchain’s long-term sustainability. The project’s ecosystem will likely integrate new features soon.
Recent Updates from Cardano
In the recent release of version 1.6 of the Lace wallet for Cardano, several enhancements have been introduced to enhance user experience and functionality. Notable among these improvements is the improved control over multi-staking activities.
Users can allocate different percentages of their stakes to up to five separate stake pools, effortlessly adjusting these ratios through an intuitive interface under the “Manage” option.
The update also streamlines the multi-staking process by enabling users to conveniently view all selected pools at the top of the “Browse Pools” tab. Tooltips have been added to clarify column names, and the recovery phrase setup within the settings has been made more user-friendly.
Version 1.6 addresses multi-staking bugs, ensuring accurate fund display after multi-staking and precise calculations when a user removes a pool from their selection. The update also enhances screen responsiveness in the multi-staking section and removes the display of $ADA rewards on the mainnet.
