What were the developers up to?

IOG revealed in the weekly development report that the ledger team finished up work on tracking individual depots, built the new Conway era transaction body, and reduced certain problematically large calculations on the epoch boundary.

The Adrestia team released Cardano Rosetta 2.0.0, and then they began working on getting cardano-js-sdk production-ready. 

While the Plutus team kept working on increasing script capacity, inliner optimization, and the Plutus debugger MVP, the Mithril team released a new 2302.0 distribution. The new release from the Mithril team activates the optimization of the snapshot digest computation on the signer and aggregator nodes. 

Realistic or not, here’s XRP market cap in BTC’s terms

A promising week indeed!

The investors had an encouraging week as ADA registered double-digit growth. According to CoinMarketCap, ADA’s price increased by more than 10% in the last seven days and nearly 5% in the last 24 hours. At press time, ADA was trading at $0.3814 with a market capitalization of over $13.1 billion. 

Thanks to the aforementioned updates, ADA also managed to secure the top spot in terms of development activity. Not only the development activity, but ADA’s MVRV Ratio also registered an uptick over the last few days, which might have played a role in ADA’s recent price pump.

Another optimistic metric was ADA’s positive sentiment, which went up during the last few days, reflecting the community’s trust in the network. However, the network’s velocity decreased in the last week, which might be a little concerning signal.
