Avalanche (AVAX) records almost 30% in profits, as Ethereum (ETH) records 16% and Cardano (ADA) 13% profits over the past week. ADA\u2019s price trades at $0.89, as of press time, and could see further gains in the short term as the market experiences further gains.<\/p>\n ADA\u2019s price appreciation could be fueled by rumors about the potential implementation of a burn mechanism for Cardano. The news was shared on Twitter by WatcherGuru triggering a reaction from the ADA community.<\/p>\n The source of the rumor could be a tweet from Clark Alesna, developer and CEO of a company called SAIB Inc. Alesna accepted a \u201cchallenge\u201d from Hoskinson and said he will start production of a burn smart contract for ADA. Alesna said<\/a>:<\/p>\n It seems like no one really took Charles Hoskinson challenge to build a #Cardano $ADA burn smart contract challenge that he put out some time ago. So, I’m taking matters into my own hands and started to plan and code it this weekend. I’ll update you guys soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n However, the tweet and its replies suggest Alesna was simply joking. The message by taken seriously by certain media outlets which triggered a reply from Hoskinson himself. The inventor of Cardano<\/a> shared the following meme as a response to these reports.<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/f9qU9xW5gl<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/KfaZEEBXrw<\/a><\/p>\n — Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) March 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Cardano](\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cardano-ADA-ADAUSDT-3.png?resize=860%2C386\")
