Cardano (ADA) processed 1,780,896 transactions during Epoch 660, a five-day network record that ended on October 11, 2026, according to CryptoTicker. The Cardano price stands at 0.2213 USD as of October 16, 2026, 0.66 percent above the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026.

Epoch 660 handled 21,243 blocks

The transaction total was recorded across 21,243 blocks, according to CryptoTicker. The report says Epoch 660 ran from October 6, 2026, through October 11, 2026, and generated 337,720 ADA in transaction fees. The average fee was 0.19 ADA per transaction.

A separate report from TechBullion said the period exceeded the previous record of 1,566,974 transactions set in November 2021. Cardano also recorded 542,532 transactions on October 8, 2026, while peak throughput reached 440 transactions per second, according to the same report.

Cardano governance vote stayed below 67 percent

Network activity coincided with a governance proposal concerning minPoolCost, the fixed amount a stake pool retains from rewards before distributions to delegators. CryptoTicker reported that the proposal sought to reduce the minimum from 170 ADA to 75 ADA, while the required approval threshold was 67 percent.

Approval stood at 34.45 percent on October 10, 2026, and the proposal deadline was October 11, 2026, at 21:44 UTC, according to CryptoTicker. The vote lapsed, leaving the 170 ADA minimum in place. The outcome matters for staking economics because the fixed deduction is applied before the remaining rewards are distributed.
