Cardano Sets New Milestone in Native Tokens Issued Following On-chain Growth in August

The Cardano network has set a new milestone as it has now seen the minting of over six million native tokens. According to the pool.pm data, the number of native assets issued on the Cardano blockchain is presently 6,020,615 with 61,055 distinct minting policies.

The Cardano blockchain can natively generate, interact with and delete custom tokens (or «assets»). The term «native» designates the fact that users may interact with these unique assets out of the box without having to employ smart contracts.

Two years back, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, predicted that the ecosystem would grow as there would be «hundreds of assets, thousands of dApps, tons of interesting projects and lots of unique and utility.»

Hoskinson revisited the July 2020 prediction as he noted that there were now millions of assets being created on Cardano, as previously reported by U.Today.
