 <li>Cardano’s swift developer response effectively mitigated a DDoS attack, ensuring network stability and security.</li>

Cardano successfully defended against a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that targeted staked ADA tokens on Tuesday. Despite the attack, the network remained fully operational.
The DDoS attack aimed to overwhelm the blockchain with spam transactions, in an attempt to disrupt its services. However, a swift response from Cardano developers mitigated the threat.
As highlighted on X platform (formerly Twitter), by Fluid Token chief technology officer @ElRaulito_cnft, the attacker initiated the attack at block 10,487,530, executing 194 smart contracts per transaction and spending 0.9 ADA each. The strategy was to fill blocks with numerous transactions, thereby stressing the network.
