Data shows Polkadot (DOT) is still the number one cryptocurrency in the market regarding the project’s development activity.
Polkadot Continues To Top The Development Activity Chart
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, besides Polkadot, the assets in the top three for this indicator are Kusama (KSM) and Cardano (ADA).
The “development activity” measures the work the cryptocurrency project’s developers have done on the project’s public GitHub repositories during the last 30 days.
In this indicator, the developers’ work is gauged not using the total number of commits on the project (as some other versions of this metric may do) but rather in terms of “events.”
An event refers to an action on the GitHub repository, like pushing a commit, forking the repository, creating an issue, etc. The benefit of this approach is that the developers’ actual work is more accurately weighed. To see how to consider the example of forking.
As the action of forking creates a duplicate copy of the repository, all commits made on the original naturally carry over to the fork. However, if the original repository wasn’t made by the developer forking it, the old commits naturally differ from the work of this new developer.
But if the development activity is measured using commits alone, these commits included in the copy will also be counted under the name of this developer, thus providing a false picture. In Santiment’s metric version, the forking action is counted as one event only, so this doesn’t become an issue.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the development activity for the top 20 cryptocurrencies (based on this metric) over the last few years:
