Since the introduction of the smart contracts feature, the Cardano (ADA) network has grown significantly. It moves it closer to competing with established platforms such as Ethereum.

On November 27, 3,811 distinct smart contracts were running on Cardano's Plutus smart contracts platform. According to Cardano Blockchain Insights data, after registering 947 smart contracts on January 1, the value has increased by more than 300%, or 2,864, in 2022.
