<div>Cardano, a leading proof-of-stake blockchain network, is experiencing a surge in activity thanks to the successful launch of SundaeSwap V3, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Cardano blockchain.
This development comes amid continuous innovation on the Cardano network, with founder Charles Hoskinson expressing optimism about the future. Prompted by positive performance metrics surrounding SundaeSwap V3, Hoskinson in a post on X <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1804907744392069373?s=19">remarked</a>, “Remember that so much amazing tech is coming over the next few years, Cardano is waking up”.

<h2>About SundaeSwap V3</h2>
Launched last month, SundaeSwap V3 boasts a significantly improved architecture compared to its previous iterations. The new DEX utilizes a more efficient pricing model within its smart contracts, enabling smoother and faster transactions. Additionally, SundaeSwap V3 demonstrates a substantial leap in transaction processing capability, reaching 35 transactions per second.
<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/Quantumplation/status/1804753274173612074?s=19">According</a> to Pi Lanningham, the CTO of Sundae Labs, SundaeSwap V3 in the past 24 hours has already processed over 9,000 orders, with the vast majority of the orders being executed in under a minute.
Historically, Cardano has faced challenges with network congestion. However, SundaeSwap V3’s enhanced scalability could improve transaction throughput significantly on the Cardano network. This, in turn, could lead to a rise in the total value locked (TVL) on the Cardano blockchain.At the time of press, Cardano sits at 29th place in terms of TVL, as per <a target="_blank" href="https://defillama.com/chain/Cardano">DefiLlama’s data</a>, trailing behind various DeFi protocols. The five leading DeFi projects on Cardano include Minswap, Lindogo, Liquid, Astarter, and SundaeSwap.

The arrival of SundaeSwap V3 marks a significant milestone for the Cardano ecosystem. By addressing scalability concerns, this upgrade paves the way for wider adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) built on Cardano. This could lead to a growth in DeFi activity and an overall increase in the network’s utility.
Looking ahead, the Cardano team is focused on continuous development efforts, including the highly anticipated <a target="_blank" href="https://timestabloid.com/dogecoin-nears-key-resistance-cardano-prepares-for-chang-hard-fork/">Chang Hard Fork</a> upgrade scheduled for this June. This upgrade is expected to introduce further improvements to the network’s functionality and scalability. With these advancements, Cardano is well-positioned to solidify its place as a prominent player in the ever-evolving blockchain landscape.Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

Charles Hoskinson Says Cardano (ADA) Is Waking Up. Here's why

<div>
Cardano-based DeFi protocol Indigo surged to briefly occupy a spot among the top 10 decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
The autonomous synthetics protocol allows users on-chain price exposure to real-world assets. Simply put, it enables users to trade virtual versions of real-world assets on the blockchain, expanding the realm of possibilities in the DeFi space.
MakerDAO retains its dominance, sitting at the helm with a staggering TVL of $4.78 billion. As a decentralized credit platform on Ethereum, MakerDAO allows users to create and manage the DAI stablecoin. Following closely is JustStables, another protocol operating on a single chain, with a TVL of $1.644 billion. Rounding out the top three is Liquity, a decentralized borrowing protocol, which has managed to lock in assets worth $648.34 million.
<h2>Cardano’s leading protocols</h2>
The Cardano network, known for its advanced proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, has seen a surge in DeFi adoption.
Leading the pack is Minswap, a decentralized exchange with a total value locked (TVL) of $47.62 million.
Indigo, after temporarily claiming the top position before settling, comes in second with a TVL of $46.94 million.
Following closely are Liqwid and Optim Finance, lending platforms with $21.21 million and $13.16 million TVL, respectively. It is also worth noting the explosive growth of Astarter, which saw over 1,000% growth in the past month.
<h2>Landscape of DeFi protocols</h2>
When it comes to the broader DeFi landscape, Ethereum still reigns supreme with an astounding $22.228 billion TVL and 942 active protocols.
Tron and BSC follow, with $7.793 billion and $3.199 billion TVL, respectively. Despite Ethereum’s dominance, other chains like Cardano are steadily carving out their niche.

ADEX V2.0: Empowering the Cardano Ecosystem

Astarter DEX(ADEX) recently wrapped up its Closed Beta Month, which began on April 11, 2023, and ran through to April 30. There are three priority rounds, each having exclusive access through a wallet address whitelisting mechanism. Methods to join the rounds of testing are announced each week within Astarter community channels and partner project campaigns.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">ADEX Closed Beta Rounds</h1>· Round 1 (11th — 17th April) : 300 tickets (For Ambassadors &amp; Community Supporters)· Round 2 (18th — 24th April): 100 Tickets (For KOLs &amp;Wallets Collaborative Campaigns)· Round 3 (25th — 30th April): Astarter AA1 Stake Pool Delegators &amp; Merge Staking Partner Pools Participants)· Surprised Round: (1st-15th May) Invite 100 community members who want to test but miss the chance to get the test whitelist.Check the following form for all whitelisted address that participated in testing ADEX: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kCvwHYAIzRIDICqWm1S4Iy1A5kJ7W_zCvbEineYFedY/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kCvwHYAIzRIDICqWm1S4Iy1A5kJ7W_zCvbEineYFedY/edit?usp=sharing</a>In the runup to round 1 we held registration campaigns on three Web3 platforms (Crew3, Galxe, and Port3) for the 300 available tickets and received a staggering 31,582 responses to our registration questions. In addition we also made a limited number of tickets available via Cardanospot community campaign.We started round 1 testing with two wallet connectors, NAMI and Yoroi and scheduled collaborative wallet campaigns for round 2.Within the first day of testing, Astarter technical team had integrated Eternl, NuFi and Flint wallets. With the release of Lace 1.0 from Input Output Global also happening on April 11, our technical team set about that integration the next day.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">Community Test Feedback</h1>We asked beta testers to provide feedback and received some very helpful suggestions and overall positive feedback. All feedback helps us improve ADEX before going live.Check the pic below for Community First Impressions of ADEX:<img class="image_resized" style="width:573px;" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:573/1*jLud_Y6uT9W9oxZ-k2ypDA.png" alt="" loading="lazy">On the User Interface UI design, one suggestion that arose several times was for a Night/Dark Mode toggle. ADEX Swap screen has a light 3D representation of the Astarter logo set as background. The background image highlights the light themed UI and we’re considering adding a dark themed night mode toggle that incorporates the dark version of the Astarter logo.Supporting multiple wallet integrations allows beta testers to use the wallet they are familiar with and apart from some intermittent connection errors, everyone appears to be making basic swaps, creating pools depositing and withdrawing liquidity. Of the issues identified further testing is required to rule out those related to the Cardano protocol requirement to maintain sufficient ADA balance as collateral for successful smart contract execution.Overall, the four rounds of DEX testing were successful in demonstrating the performance, efficiency, and functionality of the Astarter DEX. The Astarter development team will continue to refine and optimize the DEX, based on the feedback and suggestions received from the testing participants and the Cardano community. The Astarter DEX is poised to play a key role in the Astarter DeFi ecosystem, and it will enable users to swap assets, provide liquidity, and access a range of DeFi applications and services.Check this tweet for the video version of ADEX V1.0 test summary:&nbsp;Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more updates on our ADEX!
