On March 6th, 2023, Cardano (ADA) and Input Output Global (IOG) founder Charles Hoskinson hosted a livestream alongside IOG president Tamara Haassen in the first episode of a series titled “Tragically Hip.”
During the session, the IOG executives discussed some scattered topics. Still, they ultimately ended up answering a question from an audience member about CNFTs, which are non-fungible tokens on the Cardano network.
According to Hoskinson, CNFTs are currently the “most vibrant” part of the Cardano ecosystem. The crypto cowboy has claimed that more than eight million assets have been issued thus far, of which more than half of the projects are “in some way NFT-related.”

According to the Cardano and IOG founder, the developers behind Cardano are looking into Marlowe for NFT to issue a “low-code-no-code” solution for issuing NFTs to program out the “logic of how NFTs work” to make the process more accessible and convenient.
Hoskinson added that Atala PRISM, a self-sovereign identity (SSI) platform on Cardano, assisted with a “verified NFT standard” by linking identity with NFTs.
Tamara Haassen has opined that the Cardano NFT ecosystem is “just getting started,” noting that cross-ecosystem enablement” is another opportunity for Cardano to facilitate the interoperability of CNFT projects between different NFT marketplaces.
Cardano NFT projects have enjoyed high sales volumes within the past seven days, with Goombles claiming the first spot in the ecosystem by surpassing $1.2 million in sales volume.
Following the live stream video, the price of ADA remains unchanged. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.33, reflecting dips across the board despite climbing to the #7 rank by market capitalization.
Beyond a short-lived boost to $0.42 after the network’s SECP upgrade in mid-February, the price of ADA has not made a notable breakthrough despite major developments and partnerships decorating the ecosystem throughout 2023.
On the Flipside
- The Cardano blockchain currently claims the #6 rank by NFT sales volumes, recording an increase of 13.66% within the past 24 hours.
- Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) NFT markets have also recorded notable increases over the past 24 hours.
- Cardano’s NFT ecosystem was launched approximately one year ago and has quickly climbed the ranks.
