Proof-of-stake blockchain Cardano has surpassed 1 million ADA wallets, according to an announcement made by the Cardano Foundation.

The cryptocurrency’s community has witnessed impressive growth in 2021. As of Jan. 1, there were only 203,519 ADA wallets, meaning that the number of addresses has increased nearly fivefold since the start of the year.
