<a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/ada-to-reach-1-cardano-sees-spike-in-whale-transactions-and-active-addresses/">Cardano (ADA)</a> has emerged as a leader in developer activity, surpassing <a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/worlds-largest-asset-manager-blackrock-sees-little-demand-for-ethereum-from-clients/">Ethereum (ETH)</a> and other major blockchain networks. The surge in GitHub commits reflects Cardano’s commitment to innovation and growth, positioning it as a frontrunner in the competitive blockchain landscape.
GitHub commits are updates or modifications made to a project’s code on the GitHub platform using the Git version control system.
Each commit represents a specific change to the codebase, like adding features, fixing bugs, or enhancing performance. Commits include a message explaining the changes, aiding collaboration and progress tracking in software development.
<h2 id="h-impressive-github-commit-numbers">Impressive GitHub Commit Numbers</h2>
IntoTheBlock <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intotheblock/status/1769765411963146564">reports</a> that Cardano’s ADA is currently the cryptocurrency with the highest development activity and weekly engagements, surpassing major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). Following ADA, Avalanche (AVAX) takes the third spot, with Litecoin (LTC) ranking fourth.
<figure><div>
<blockquote>We're not surprised to see <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cardano?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cardano</a> continually come out on top in developer activity. It has been this way for years. It might not always reflect it in the marketplace, but <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ADA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$ADA</a> is like a strong tsunami building. We see it and are part of it every day.

</div></figure>
Between March 11 and 17, Cardano recorded an impressive total of 978,780 commits on GitHub, showcasing its proactive approach to advancing its platform. In comparison, Ethereum, a leading blockchain platform, trailed behind with 407,170 commits during the same period.Advertisement<a href="https://coinbase-consumer.sjv.io/c/1374354/1949085/9251" target="_blank"><img src="https://a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9251-1949085" alt /></a>
 
This significant lead in GitHub activity underscores Cardano’s dedication to attracting developers and enhancing its ecosystem.
The rise of Cardano’s developer activity also sheds light on the broader trend of increasing engagement across layer-1 (L1) blockchain protocols. Avalanche (AVAX) recorded 315,770 commits, demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation and growth. 
Similarly, Litecoin (LTC) and Tron (TRX) showed notable developer engagement, with 84,110 and 79,380 commits, respectively. Despite these efforts, these networks still lag behind Cardano in terms of overall developer activity.
Developer engagement is a critical metric for evaluating a blockchain protocol’s potential growth and evolution. High-commit counts indicate an active developer community working on decentralized applications (dApps) and improving the network’s capabilities.
This continuous development work is essential for enhancing the functionality and resilience of the blockchain network over time.

Despite Cardano’s strong developer activity, its price performance has not mirrored this success. ADA has been trading below the $1 mark since April 2022 and is currently priced at $0.63, reflecting a 0.18% surge in the past 24 hours. Despite the positive GitHub commit data, ADA has experienced a decrease of 20.66% over the past week.
However, several analysts have recently <a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/1-ada-price-looking-nigh-as-cardano-sees-crazy-surge-in-active-wallets-and-increased-defi-activity/">expressed</a> optimism about the asset, forecasting a new record high in the coming days. For instance, X user <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1764736034594545961">Ali Charts </a>drew parallels between the coin’s current performance and its past bull cycle, suggesting a potential “parabolic” surge to<a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/cardano-may-have-just-ignited-game-on-face-for-10-ada-price-in-this-super-cycle/"> reach as high as $10</a>.

Mehen Finance has officially <a href="https://cardanoscan.io/transaction/c6b0831fa16e101ae18de65c2a0c8825cebffe17ccfe38385e711c900f62d261" target="_blank">launched</a> USDM, the first fiat-backed stablecoin on the <a href="https://crypto-economy.com/knowing-cardano-protocol/" target="_blank">Cardano</a> blockchain. This marks a pivotal moment in Cardano’s journey towards broader adoption. USDM is fully backed by the US dollar, offering users a 1:1 conversion rate. The introduction of a solid fiat-backed stablecoin addresses a long-standing criticism of the Cardano network.

While Cardano has an array of algorithmic stablecoins, the demand for a fiat-backed stablecoin has been growing. Mehen Finance is at the forefront of this innovation, aiming to revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi) on Cardano. USDM serves as a base asset for DeFi protocols and enables instant on-chain payments.
The vision of Mehen Finance is to be a scalable catalyst for the growth and adoption of the entire Cardano ecosystem. The official launch of USDM took place on March 16, and the onboarding process for institutional customers began on March 18. The token will make its on-chain debut in the upcoming week.

The <a href="https://crypto-economy.com/stablecoins/" target="_blank">stablecoin</a> will initially be available in 17 US states and will debut on Cardano’s largest DEX, MinSwap, and Genius Yield. Individuals residing in the approved 17 U.S. states can create an account, complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure, and connect their accounts. Nonetheless, the privilege of minting will be exclusively available to institutional users at the outset, with plans to extend this facility to retail users in the forthcoming weeks. 
Qualified users desiring to mint USDM can do so without incurring fees. However, redeeming US dollars for their USDM will incur a 1.5% fee. The launch of USDM is a watershed moment that could significantly propel DeFi on the Cardano network. 
Despite facing competition from other stablecoins like USDA from Emurgo, Djed Stablecoin powered by Coti, and iUSD from Indigo Protocol, USDM has its unique use case and competitive advantages.
In conclusion, the introduction of USDM by Mehen Finance marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Cardano ecosystem. It not only addresses a critical need within the community but also paves the way for the growth and adoption of DeFi on Cardano.
