$ADA: number of smart contracts deployed on Cardano nears new milestone

According to data from Cardano Blockchain Insights, first reported on by Finbold, there are now a total of 2,90 Plutus-based smart contracts deployed to the cryptocurrency’s network, placing it within 100 smart contracts of the 3,000 milestone.
Axie Infinity shows new signs of life, despite still-falling NFT sales
The crypto-powered play-to-earn (P2E) game Axie Infinity (AXS) is again showing signs of life, after being hit hard by a price collapse in the NFT and P2E sectors in crypto. However, sales of NFTs for the game have still fallen significantly in May and June.
One sign that the worst might be over for the game is the price of the game’s AXS token, which recovered about 10% from its low of USD 11.80 on June 18. Since then, the token reached as high as USD 18.50 on June 25, before once again sliding in recent weeks.
