Cardano’s TVL had another great month as well, growing from $138.61 million at the start of the month to a high of $171.3 million. However, a weak second half of the month saw a significant drop in TVL ending the month at $152.90 million. Despite this, the metric is still up 10.4% in April. The TVL refers to the total value that users have locked into DeFi applications.
In the past month, the company launched behind the layer-1 blockchain, Input Output Global (IOG), also the first native light wallet for the network. This new wallet, called Lace, is a browser-based wallet similar to MetaMask.
ADA rate
When the monthly performance of the network is discussed, the price of the underlying crypto obviously cannot be left behind. ADA performed excellently in the first half of April and was able to soar as high as $0.46. It started the month just below $0.40, which means that the ADA price was up as much as 15%. However, the month ended in the red with a price of $0.3956.
