Cardano (ADA) Leads in Blockchain Development
Analytics platform Santiment reports that Cardano (ADA) is the top blockchain in terms of development activity, with 502.57 GitHub commits over a 30-day period. Smart contract blockchain Polkadot (DOT) and its canary test network Kusama (KSM) are in second and third positions, respectively, with 484.23 GitHub commits each. The peer-to-peer payments network Hedera (HBAR) ranks fourth with 353.67 GitHub commits.
Aptos (APT), Status (SNT), Chainlink (LINK), Cosmos Hub (ATOM), Ethereum, and Vega Protocol (VEGA) round off the list of the top ten blockchains by developer activity, according to Santiment’s data collection methodology.
Development Activity as a Positive Indicator
Santiment notes that heavy development activity centered around a crypto project is a positive indication that developers believe the protocol will be successful or the project will soon be shipping new features. It also indicates that there is less possibility that the project is just an “exit scam.”
Hot Take: Developers Drive ADA’s Success
The data from Santiment demonstrates that Cardano’s development activity is leading in the blockchain space, indicating strong confidence in the protocol’s future success and a commitment to continued innovation and growth.
