Cardano Experience Increased Network Activity

Notably, the rise in transaction fees has set a record high since August 2022. According to data from Messari, on May 28, transaction fees on the Cardano network rose to a high of $15.2K, which marks its highest since August 11, 2022.

Compared to the start of the month, on May 1, Cardano transaction fees were lower at about $8K. Regardless of the spike in network activity and demand, when compared with the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the transaction fee of Cardano is still relatively lower.

In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has had a transaction fee of over $1.76 million. This is a huge difference from Cardano’s $15,000. Similarly, Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency in the market had even larger transaction fees in the last 24 hours than Bitcoin.

The spike is mainly because of the increase in network activities on Cardano-based decentralized exchange platforms. Minswap played a major role in this surge. It accounted for 90.4% of the total DEX volume.
