The Cardano (ADA) community took to Twitter and shared their on-chain statistics for June. As per the data, Cardano (ADA) seems to be on a roll regarding developer activity. The project previously slammed for its delays is now the top dog for the same. According to Santiment, Cardano was the top project in June by development activity.
In the past, Cardano has faced a lot of hate from the crypto community for making high promises but failing to deliver. The ADA ecosystem was on the verge of becoming a joke. However, the team was quick to turn things around this year.
However, Santiment’s data indicated that Cardano’s active wallet addresses declined in June. The chart below shows the moving average of the same. This shows that public sentiment regarding ADA is low.

Bad timing for Cardano?
One could also say that Cardano’s development may have met lousy timing. Its upgrades occurred just before the markets were heading down. But the active wallet moving average has been downward for the better half of the year.

The data provided by LunarCrush also confirms ADA’s low social sentiment. Over one month, ADA’s social mentions went down by 14.2%. In contrast, Solana saw an increase of 451.4%.

At press time, ADA was trading at $0.465670, up by 3.9% in the last 24 hours.
