Cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment has published its latest ranking of the most actively developed crypto projects over the past 30 days, based on significant GitHub activity. The data reveals a strong focus on infrastructure and utility tokens, with MetaMask USD (mUSD) leading the pack with a score of 757.53.
Filecoin (FIL) and Starknet (STRK) maintained their positions in the top three, scoring 343.60 and 259.13 respectively. Hedera (HBAR) ranked fourth with a score of 196.40, while Chainlink (LINK), which had topped the list for months, fell to fifth place with a score of 179.43.
The rest of the top ten list includes Safe (SAFE) at 156.17, Internet Computer (ICP) at 136.23, DeFiChain (DFI) at 128.43, Cardano (ADA) at 113.63, and Avalanche (AVAX) at 113.37. Santiment's metric tracks meaningful code contributions across public repositories, highlighting ecosystems where long-term technical work is actively progressing, irrespective of short-term price movements.
The analysis notes that high developer activity is a key indicator of a project's commitment to technical development and long-term ecosystem growth. The dominance of projects in categories like smart contract platforms, data oracles, cloud computing, and DeFi tooling suggests developers are prioritizing foundational infrastructure over short-lived narrative tokens.
