Cardano is one of the blockchain networks with a gigantic inclination for development, as consistent improvements expose the “ghost chain” claims. In the midst of these turns of events, the network continues to keep an enormous surge in Plutus Smart contracts.
For the sake of enlightenment, Plutus is a platform that engineers leverage to write smart contracts that can interact with the Cardano blockchain.
The platform depends on the Haskell programming language and has reliably developed over the years to introduce an environment for the sending of better-performing Cardano smart contracts.
Prominently, Cardano saw the launch of Plutus V2 two years ago, which accompanied the Vasil hard fork in September 2022. Plutus V2 saves cost and lessens transaction size. Since its launch engineers have utilized the most recent Plutus version to compose a large number of Smart contracts on Cardano.

Growth Of Cardano Plutus
It is interesting to note that, the development of smart contracts on Cardano last year greatly outperformed the rate seen in 2022. This development has soared just two months into the new year. Total Plutus smart contracts soared to 25,177 as of Jan. 31, addressing an expansion of 10,804 smart contracts in January.
More Than 6,000 Smart Contract Welcomed In Cardano
February has seen a comparable quick growth, as smart contracts on Cardano have now expanded from 25,177 on Jan. 31 to a figure of 31,604. This demonstrates that the network has now welcomed 6,426 smart contacts, over a portion of last year’s figure obtained in February.
Altogether, the majority of this growth is credited to an expansion in Plutus V2 smart contracts because of their benefits over the V1 partners. Of the recorded figures this month, just 46 smart contracts came from Plutus V1, with up to 6,380 Plutus V2 scripts.

In the midst of the expansion in Plutus V2 smart contracts, Cardano is hoping to send off the forthcoming Plutus V3 upgrade. IOG has made known the launch of Plutus V3 on the Cardano testnet SanchoNet. Plutus V3 is supposed to come with Cardano’s Chang hard fork.
In the meantime, ADA has gotten a move on following a lengthy time of lackluster price performance. The asset has leveraged Bitcoin’s new surge above $51,000 to recover $0.57 for the first time in a month. ADA right now is treading for $0.5756, up 6.71% in the past 24 hours.
