Charles Hoskinson, founder of IOHK and the Cardano ecosystem, shared with the Cardano community one of the network’s largest transactions, with an anonymous NFT trader spending 135,000 ADA on a ChilledKong8885 piece.
The ChilledKong piece, according to the tweet, contains an extremely rare trait, an Android Body, which every person has a 0.8% chance of getting. They sold the piece on the Cardano NFT marketplace jpg.store.

Right after the post went public, the CEO of the jpgstore contacted Hoskinson and asked for a chat, promising to explain what the platform does for the Cardano NFT space and what’s next.
Cardano is the industry’s youngest representative, with only a few collections minting in the ecosystem. One of them is ChilledKongs. Recently, Cardano has released its own smart contracts technology, fueling a massive bull run in the underlying coin, ADA.
Aside from the appearance of a number of NFT collections, the Cardano ecosystem witnessed the rapid growth of DeFi projects such as SundaeSwap, MinSwap, and Windscribers, which recently gained around 8,000% in TVL.
