Cardano (ADA) recently added a crucial software kit, designed to make AI-agentic payments seamless on the Layer-1 network. Originally coded by Coinbase’s developers, the x402 allows the on-chain robots to pay in Cardano’s native ADA token across the ecosystem-compatible decentralized applications (dApps).
What x402 Brings To The Table For Cardano Now
The new Coinbase-issued software kit brings new opportunities for Cardano developers, and that’s starting to reflect on the network’s activity metrics. Network addresses active on Cardano have struck a roughly 60% increase in a day, going from 14K active ADA addresses to beyond 22K, according to DefiLlama’s stats.
Cardano’s pivot to artificial intelligence (AI) based agentic payments comes along with a crucial vote to improve the chain’s structure. If that one gets approved by the broader Cardano community, the OpenZeppelin open-source software stack may bridge the gap between Cardano’s capabilities and demand.
Rising Dev & Trading Activity Suits Each Other
Traders are also assessing whether this will reflect on Cardano’s (ADA) price. Right now, ADA has been mirroring Bitcoin’s (BTC) run to $85,000. Similarly to BTC, Cardano (ADA) flipped a few fundamental moving-average based thresholds, now arriving at the $0.24 support cluster. Cardano’s daily trades garnered $807,231,911 on Spot markets.
That’s a perfect match for the rising developer activity: when the devs smell a potential rise in demand, they flock to software building toolkits and hammer away to provide the next big thing. The transaction count has also climbed notably: yesterday’s 33,919 transfers set a new monthly peak, while the overall total value locked (TVL) jumped by 4.95%.
The Derivatives markets haven’t been quiet as well: leveraged traders generated beyond $938 million in trading volume, a similar figure to the Spot market one. Traders also upped the Open Interest (OI) rate by 4.11%, now with more than $606 million in unsettled leveraged bets on ADA price. Bears got liquidated for $2.49M out of a $3.28M daily total.
