Cardano's NFT ecosystem has also experienced growth in other key metrics. The number of transactions rose by 10.65% to 3,419, while the number of buyers increased by 8.44% to 1,349. In comparison, Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon all witnessed reductions in both transactions and buyers, with Solana seeing the most significant drops of 33.45% and 44.86% in transactions and buyers, respectively.
Several popular NFT collections on Cardano have contributed to its success, including The Ape Society, Clay Nation by Clay Mates, and Zesty Zebras.Other notable collections include Book.io - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Goofy Gophers Mining Club, and Dead Rabbit Weapons. The Mallard Order and OTK - Pirates round out the top 11 most popular NFTs on the Cardano blockchain.
