While price volatility continues in the cryptocurrency market, developer activity, one of the true growth indicators of the ecosystem, has come back into the spotlight with weekly GitHub data.
These statistics, measured directly on code-based work rather than on-chain, provide valuable information about altcoin projects.
Ethereum was the altcoin that attracted the most developer interest in the past week, followed by Cardano, which stands out with its strong ecosystem, and Hedera, which is focused on enterprise use.
Here is the list of altcoins with the most developer activity in the last week and their developer activity scores:
- Ethereum (ETH) – 377
- Cardano (ADA) – 322
- Hedera (HBAR) – 167
- Flow (FLOW) – 127
- Internet Computer (ICP) – 112
- Chainlink (LINK) – 95
- Stellar (XLM) – 77
- Polkadot (DOT) – 72
- Gnosis (GNO) – 71
- Avalanche (AVAX) – 67
- Decentraland (MANA) – 63
- Cosmos (ATOM) – 62
- Mina (MINA) – 61
- Audius (AUDIO) – 50
- Ripple (XRP) – 46
While Flow showed notable weekly growth, established projects like Cardano and Chainlink saw some declines in commit numbers. While these statistics don’t directly correlate with a token’s price movement, they do offer a valuable insight into the active development of a project’s infrastructure.
