PANews reported on December 9th that, according to Criptonoticias, the number of active validators on the Solana network has decreased significantly over the past three years: from over 2,500 active nodes in March 2023 to approximately 800 currently, a drop of over 68%. Different interpretations have been offered regarding this significant contraction in ecosystem participants. Some community members believe that this decline is mainly due to "sybil nodes" leaving the network, arguing that "having 800 reliable validators is healthier than having 3,000 sybil nodes," pointing out that reducing nodes that don't contribute significantly actually helps improve network quality. However, some infrastructure teams hold a different view. Layer 33 developers stated that they know many teams that recently shut down nodes, and these exits "are mostly not sybil nodes, but rather chose to cease operations due to economic or technical factors."PANews reported on December 9th that, according to Criptonoticias, the number of active validators on the Solana network has decreased significantly over the past three years: from over 2,500 active nodes in March 2023 to approximately 800 currently, a drop of over 68%.

Cardano (ADA) Eyes $2 in 2025, But This Crypto Could Explode 12,100% from Below $0.003

The post Cardano (ADA) Eyes $2 in 2025, But This Crypto Could Explode 12,100% from Below $0.003 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano (ADA) has always been among the most promising blockchain projects on the market of digital assets. Analysts assume that ADA might reach the 2-level by 2025 as the development of its proof-of-stake ecosystem remains stable and growing demand for scalable DeFi solutions is created. But new presale tokens like Little Pepe (LILPEPE) could be an even bigger speculative bet, and its valuation could grow by more than 12,000% as it approaches launch. Cardano (ADA) Has a chance to regain momentum. CoinMarketCap data suggests that Cardano is trading below $0.8908 at the point of writing, but market sentiment indicates that its long-term focus on smart contracts, staking pools, and ecosystem expansion would lead to appreciation. In case ADA returns to its 2021 power, it will make sense to take it to $2 by 2025. Sustainability and scalability are still appealing to developers, and critics observe that it has not been as widespread as competitors (like Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH)). Momentum of Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Presale. Little Pepeis now in Stage 13 of presale, and the tokens cost $0.0022. The official tracker shows that over 15.7 billion tokens have already been sold, and it has generated 25.5 million of the 28.7 million target. At launch, the token is expected to list at $0.003, suggesting early buyers could already see immediate upside at listing. Little Pepe’s unique selling point is that it is the only meme-oriented Layer 2 blockchain in the world. The initiative is a combination of the meme culture and real infrastructure: the ultra-low fees, the lightning-fast finality, the resistance to sniper-bot attacks, and the exclusive memes Launchpad. This ecosystem is an innovation on the classic meme coin, where utility-based mechanics like staking rewards, DEX allocations, and deep liquidity pools are introduced. Potential of roadmap and Ecosystem. Little Pepe…
