Cardano ADA/USD is essentially a blockchain-based network that is powered by its native cryptocurrency token, ADA and is being utilized for decentralized applications (dApps) and other various use-cases.
Specifically, the network enables smart contract functionality and was originally released in 2017, after which it quickly started climbing the ladder in terms of market capitalization.
The success of Milkomedia as a catalyst for growth
On May 11, 2022, Tangent launched Cardano, which was a highly anticipated, permissionless platform that brings artists, investors, and other interested parties together.
However, this wasn’t the only way through which the ecosystem grew.
Cardano’s Milkomedia sidechain, which has been active for two months, has the potential to become a roll-up to Cardano’s main chain.
This is based on an announcement posted on May 21 by Cardano Blockchain insights.
Specifically, Milkomedia has managed to process over 5 million transactions since it was launched. This means that it processed 100,000 transactions on a daily basis.
However, even though this is such a high flow of transactions, users were not facing any issues with network congestion or high transaction costs. In fact, the average cost of a transaction was just $0.001 USD.
Additionally, Milkomedia also supports wrapped tokens through two bridges, and these include Celer and Nomad.
What this results in is the fact that traders can use USDT and USDC alongside cryptocurrencies such as AVAX, BNB, and ETH, aside from the variety of Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, Milkomedia aims to have 32 validators and could offer a high capacity of 500 to 1,000 transactions per second (TPS).
This could lead to an increased value of the Cardano (ADA) cryptocurrency.
