A report detailing developer activity for different tokens was released by Santiment, which can be an essential indicator of how successful a project will be in the long term. A platform called GitHub provides statistics on developer activity. GitHub is a software repository site of choice for projects like Solana, Polkadot, Ethereum, and IOTA. It is a centrally located versioning control system where code for projects is visible to the public and where developers can propose and submit improvements and additions to an existing project.
The top 20 projects by aggregated development activity for 2021 include Cardano, Kusama, Polkadot, and Ethereum. The NFT-focused Flow project comes in at number nine. Kusama is a development sandbox comprised of a scalable network of unique blockchains whose code is based mainly on Polkadot. It is used to test applications before deploying them on Polkadot. The number of active contributors to any project’s GitHub repo gives insight into the reach of that project’s developer network.
