Cardano has often seen criticism in the past, most often that which compares it to a ghost chain.
Tomiwabold OlajideCardanoNFT projects continue to gain traction with a new record of 4.4 million ADA reached on 24-hour volumes. According to StockTwits NFT data, NFT volumes rose 328% over the weekend from the prior one. Cardano also entered the top three NFT chains, flipping Immutable X to fourth place.
In a historic milestone, The Ape Society, Cardano's biggest NFT project in terms of collection share by 24-hour volume, also reached the 10,000 ADA floor price.

The Cardano blockchain was built using the Haskell functional programming language. Plutus, Cardano's programming language for smart contracts, and Marlowe, Cardano's domain-specific language for financial smart contracts, are both based on Haskell. Both off-chain and on-chain codes for Cardano are also written in Haskell.
In July, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shared "the first-ever Untyped Plutus Core Program entirely generated and serialized using only Typescript."
This new milestone might imply that developers may be able to write smart contracts on Cardano using TypeScript soon.
