Cardano and Ethereum Dominate Developer Activity with Explosive GitHub Commit Growth
Blockchain heavyweights Cardano and Ethereum are leaving competitors in the dust as GitHub commits skyrocket—proving once again that code speaks louder than whitepapers.
The Builders Are Building
While 'vaporware' projects chase hype cycles, these two networks show what real developer traction looks like. Commit counts don't lie—even if some roadmap timelines do.
Why This Matters Beyond Price Charts
Active repositories signal long-term viability, something Wall Street analysts still don't get as they obsess over 15-minute candlesticks. Meanwhile, the smart money's watching where the coders go.
One cynical take? The surge coincides perfectly with VC portfolios needing demonstrable 'progress' before their next funding round. But hey—at least someone's shipping real code.
Top projects: Cardano, Mina, and Chainlink show strength
On a per-project basis, Cardano (ADA) took the top spot this past week with 354 GitHub commits, showcasing its intense development pace. Ethereum (ETH) followed with 190 commits, trailed by Hedera (HBAR) at 162, and Internet Computer (ICP) with 158.

Mina Protocol (MINA) stood out with a 53% month-on-month rise in commits, while chainlink (LINK) also gained traction by increasing both commits and active developers. Polkadot (DOT), Arbitrum (ARB), and Flow (FLOW) rounded out the top 10 for individual project activity.
As development surges across LAYER 1 and Layer 2 chains, strong GitHub activity continues to signal project resilience and long-term network potential.
