The Cardano blockchain network topped the list of the busiest crypto projects for the year 2019 in a report posted by Santiment analysis platform.

The report was compiled using “Santiment Sanbase” and “San Data” tools which analyzed more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies within 12 months.

Cardano has been described as the busiest and most active blockchain platform in terms of technical developments.

The report attributed the growing development of the Cardano ecosystem, which was reinforced with the launch of the long-awaited Cardano testnet, Shelley’s version, last December.

The beta version that started live on December 13th already has more than 500 pools with expectations of higher futures.

Ethereum was only slightly behind the leader Cardano, although the report highlights the great effort the developers have put into achieving the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade.

The upgrade is expected to move the platform from an energy-intensive Proof-of-Work to a highly efficient Proof-of-Stake system.

Cardano continues to add key developments to its ecosystem:

This latest report from Santiment released the Flipside Report released a few weeks ago, where Cardano was listed among the 12 best blockchain platforms of 2019.

Cardano has continued to drive developments in its ecosystem in 2020.

This consensus will be the first POS consensus to comply with the security of the Proof of Work consensus on the Cardano ecosystem.

A successful fork would bring Cardano closer to its goal of a fully decentralized blockchain system.
