Anyone else noticing the number of fairly new accounts using anti-cardano narratives to boost their engagement while spreading fud? I have. Someone is either paying them, or they are just using the community to grow themselves. Many new names and faces. I'm blocking them all.

@GenTXer2 Violator was just slightly better in my view

@Keir_Starmer Whoop. Can't wait to deport you

[Cardano YOD₳ @JaromirTesar]

Cardano is far from dead, despite what some threads might claim.

Most criticisms focus on low on-chain activity, but that's a challenge facing the entire blockchain space, not just Cardano.

Attracting real users and generating meaningful activity is the biggest hurdle for every network right now.

Some platforms use bots or scripted activity to boost stats, making it hard to measure how many genuine human users are actually engaging.

In that context, Cardano’s numbers may look lower, but potentially more honest.

The real value isn't flashy metrics. It’s building lasting utility and sustainable growth.

And in that area, Cardano is still in the game.

Let’s take a look at Cardano’s social metrics, based on data from LunarCrush.

Cardano is seeing growth in three key areas:

• Engagement (orange): This includes views, likes, comments, reposts, and upvotes across multiple social platforms.

• Mentions (purple): The number of posts referencing Cardano or related topics.

• Creators (blue): The number of unique users generating content that gets engagement.

Growth over time:

• 2021: 200K engagements, 100 mentions, 1K creators
• 2023: 1M engagements, 3K mentions, 2K creators
• Now: 2M engagements, 10K mentions, 5K creators

This upward trend shows expanding visibility and participation in the Cardano ecosystem.

However, there has been a decline in sentiment and social dominance:

• Sentiment tracks the ratio of positive to negative posts. A score of 100% means all posts are positive; 0% means all are negative.

• Social dominance reflects Cardano’s share of overall crypto conversation on social media.

Trends:

• 2021: Sentiment 93%, Dominance 14%
• 2023: Sentiment 82%, Dominance 11%
• Now: Sentiment 83%, Dominance just 2.5%

So while engagement is surging, Cardano’s relative presence in the broader crypto discourse has diminished, and sentiment—though still largely positive—isn’t as strong as it once was.

Cardano remains in the top 10 for social dominance.

Right now, only Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum hold more than 10% each. Cardano, with 2.5%, ranks 6th overall—still firmly in the conversation.

That said, this marks a significant drop from 2021–2022, when Cardano’s social dominance peaked at around 35%.

On sentiment, Cardano performs 4% better than Bitcoin and is only 1% behind Solana and Ethereum.

By comparison, Sui leads with a sentiment score of 90%.

Sui, despite being a newer project, already has 3,4K creators, which is impressive.

Memecoins, whether old or brand new, can reach over 2K creators fairly quickly.

Cardano currently has a similar number of creators to Pepe and lags behind Dogecoin. For context:

• Bitcoin: ~67K creators
• Solana & Ethereum: ~40K each
• Cardano: ~5K

To stay competitive on social media, Cardano likely needs 5–10× more active creators.

Not surprisingly, engagement and mentions closely follow the number of creators involved.

Sentiment in crypto can swing dramatically—10% shifts within weeks aren’t unusual.

But in Cardano’s case, sentiment has remained consistently low (below 5%) for over 18 months, without any major upward spikes.

To turn this around, Cardano likely needs a fresh, fundamentals-driven narrative—something compelling enough to draw in new users and reignite excitement across social platforms.

Without a strong story rooted in real progress, regaining momentum will be difficult.

There’s a clear link between sentiment, social engagement, and ADA’s price.

A higher ADA price doesn’t just boost market confidence—it also saves ADA in the Treasury and makes development cheaper in terms of ADA quantity, helping to ease selling pressure on the market.

Cardano is a dynamic, evolving ecosystem, but its success isn’t driven by technology alone.

While building robust infrastructure takes time, brand visibility and social engagement are just as essential.

Growing awareness, fostering a strong community presence, and keeping people involved are key to realizing Cardano’s full potential.

Every community member plays a role.

By posting, commenting, liking, and reposting content about Cardano, you help strengthen sentiment and visibility, fueling positive momentum for the entire ecosystem.

@ajgbarnes My other handles are full of ai, scammers acting as naked ladies and a whole bunch of rubbish about the evils of everyone else. I agree.. it's dying

[Quantumplation | Pi Lanningham @Quantumplation]

I see a lot of people saying that "Cardano is fine" and calling this person a liar, and I disagree (clickbait opener, CoinDesk, please read the thread).

I more than most have reason to be intimately familiar with what's happening, so let me try to explain😅
