Recent research indicates that Cardano boasts the most substantial developer activity among blockchains. Despite this, a noticeable gap exists between this vibrant activity and its decentralized finance ecosystem.

Blockchain analytics platform Santiment’s latest crypto development activity list included some surprising networks.

Cardano Leads in GitHub Commits

On-chain data shows that Cardano saw an average of 449 daily developments in the last 30 days on GitHub. Developer activity is a crucial gauge of a network’s dedication to enhancement. It measures the attention, resources, and expertise to improve a blockchain .

Notably, when developers introduce new features and broadens its capabilities despite a market downturn, it bolsters investor confidence in its enduring sustainability.

Other notable networks that saw notable activities included Hedera , Polkadot , and Cosmos, with about 282, 281, and 280 development activities. Interestingly, Cardano’s figure exceeded Ethereum’s, which only saw an average of 183 GitHub commits.
