According to data shared by Hoskinson, the number of unique addresses staking on Cardano now sits at 1,234,810 (1.23M). where the number of unique staking participants’ wallets on the Ethereum blockchain is 88,400.Commenting on the feat, Hoskinson said Cardano is “pretty special,” <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1642688908478795776" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">adding</a>:“It’s almost like many people thought about how to build an excellent staking protocol years ago and made it happen.”<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/81db3080bfe049bb824dae501a404b24.jpg" />Cardano achieved the feat days after crypto news outlet Cointelegraph published a false report about the ADA staking initiative.
