At the same time, the overall number of wallets increased by 1.19% to 4.07 million, while the number of delegated wallets increased only slightly by 0.06% to 1.28 million. Plutus scripts were up 3.53% throughout the specified period, reaching 5,419. There are currently 8.07 million native tokens in circulation, an increase of 2.63%.

Likewise, there were 72,133 more minting policies, an increase of 1.37%. Thirty percent of transaction types used smart contracts. Metadata-type transactions, which make up about 21% of all transaction categories, were not made using smart contracts. Forty-nine percent of transaction types were simple. Fluid tokens move to Aiken FluidTokens, a peer-to-peer lending protocol, will be moving to Aiken as its programming language for smart contract development. The project and the wider Cardano ecosystem are expected to greatly benefit from this choice. Utilizing Aiken has the advantage of making smart contract scripts smaller, which lowers costs. On Cardano, smart contract fees are determined by the size of the script that implements the contract.
