It is now down 77.44 percent from the record high reached in early September ahead of the much anticipated smart contract launch. Currently, more than 900 projects are operating on the Cardano network. In addition, the number of ADA wallets is over 3 million. However, the number of active addresses is at its lowest levels in the last 9 months.
