Chainlink (LINK) Extends Run As Top ERC-20 Project in Terms of Development Activity: Santiment

The decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK) is once again the top-ranked ERC-20 project in terms of recent development activity, according to the crypto analytics platform Santiment.

Santiment notes on the social media platform X that Chainlink registered 649.03 notable GitHub events in the past 30 days, nearly double the number of the second-ranked project, Ethereum (ETH), which clocked 342.2.

The decentralized oracle project also topped the list in June, July and September.

The web3 project Status (SNT) ranked third in the past 30 days, registering 270.57 events. Status aims to offer users a secure messaging app, crypto wallet and web3 browser via an open-source, peer-to-peer protocol and end-to-end encryption.

An ERC-20 project is a standard that developers use to issue tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and virtual machine.

Santiment notes that it doesnt count routine updates and utilizes a “better methodology” to collect data for GitHub events based on a “backtested process.”

The analytics firm has previously said that heavy development activity centered around a crypto project indicates developers believe in the protocol. Development activity also suggests that the project is less likely to be an exit scam.

LINK is trading at $11.11 at time of writing. The 18th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is down more than 6% in the past 24 hours.
