Developer Activity

GitHub commits, PRs, releases of project repo, health indicator.

Dev Activity: GitHub commits, PRs, releases. High = team building, healthy ecosystem (ETH, Cosmos, Polkadot top). Low = dying project (many 2017 'zombie chains'). Long-term price correlation is strong, as without building, there is no value.

In plain words

Number of commits, pull requests and releases in a project's GitHub. High = team is building, ecosystem alive (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos lead). Low = project is dying even if the token still trades. Most 'zombie chains' from 2017 vanished after years of code silence.

Example

Top per Electric Capital 2024 (active devs/month): ETH 4500, SOL 800, DOT 600, ATOM 500, MATIC 400. BTC: 200 (mature). Worst: BCH (50), ETC (30), DASH (15), maintenance mode. ADA: 250 (controversial).
