Redelegation commences on Cardano

The Cardano Foundation has just wrapped up its redelegation process, which significantly shifted its delegation strategy. The updated approach emphasized stake pool contributions to the community, promoting the creation of open-source solutions and offering support for the broader ecosystem.

This new initiative is designed to nurture the growth of the ecosystem by recognizing the exceptional efforts of stake pool operators (SPOs) and encouraging their participation.

As per the Foundation’s post on 21 April, more than 250 pools applied for the redelegation of the Cardano Wallets. Nevertheless, out of these, just 45 pools were chosen randomly and granted delegation.

Current stakes on Cardano

Based on the data from Staking Rewards, the current staking ratio for Cardano stood at approximately 64.98%. As of this writing, the staking market cap was around $8.9 million, out of a total market cap of over $13.4 million.

Price sees little respite on a daily timeframe

The recent increase in active addresses on the Cardano network has positively impacted the asset’s price movement. ADA was trading at around $0.39 at press time, reflecting a gain of nearly 3%.

This upswing followed several days of downward price movement. Despite the decline in previous days, the asset’s price remained above the short and long Moving Averages (yellow and blue lines).
