The post Cardano Isn’t Dead — Here’s Why ADA Could Make a Strong Comeback appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News For a long time, Cardano has been called many things—slow, quiet, even forgotten, but one thing it’s not is dead. While critics point fingers at its low on-chain activity, Cardano supporters are flipping the script: What if those low numbers mean Cardano is playing fair in a space full of bots? In a recent tweet post, Cardano advocate Jaromir Tesar shed light on where Cardano stands today and why the project is still very much alive, just taking a more honest path. Flashy Numbers or Real Growth? Many blockchains are flaunting massive engagement numbers, but are those numbers real? Jaromir Tesar suggests that some platforms inflate their stats with bots and automated scripts, making it hard to track genuine user engagement. But Cardano, on the other hand, has stayed away from those tricks. And that’s starting to show. Cardano is far from dead, despite what some threads might claim. Most criticisms focus on low on-chain activity, but that's a challenge facing the entire blockchain space, not just Cardano. Attracting real users and generating meaningful activity is the biggest hurdle for every… pic.twitter.com/0XyPFiH4Oj — Cardano YOD₳ (@JaromirTesar) June 30, 2025 According to LunarCrush data, Cardano’s social engagement is rising dramatically. In 2021, it had 200,000 engagements. Now, over 2 million. Mentions and content creators in the Cardano community have also seen major growth, climbing to 10,000 mentions and 5,000 creators. That’s not a sign of a dying project — that’s momentum. Cardano: The Sentiment Problem Still, not all the numbers are rosy. Cardano’s social dominance, how much of the crypto conversation it holds, has dropped from 35% to just 2.5% since 2021. Its sentiment score (how positively people talk about it) has held steady at 83%, just behind Ethereum and Solana. These aren’t terrible numbers, but they show that Cardano’s voice in the larger crypto world has faded a bit. Jaromir Tesar isn’t the only one seeing this problem. Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, also says the project lacks a strong “executive voice” and a solid team to push Cardano into the mainstream crypto world. Hoskinson has been trying to step in and lead himself, but it hasn’t been easy. How Cardano Can Recover To bounce back, Tesar says Cardano needs strong basics and a higher ADA price. A better price not only builds trust but also protects ADA in the project’s Treasury. Tesar also thinks Cardano must have 5–10 times more content creators to stay popular and compete with other blockchains. Good news and social buzz can really help ADA’s price go up. Right now, ADA is trading around $0.56 , showing a small drop in the last 24 hours, with a market cap hitting $19.98 billion.
